Answer:

The number of bacteria in 0.25 mL is 6.25 x 10^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 liter flask contains 1.25 x 10^8 bacteria.

So, 1liter flask contains = \frac{1.25 \times 10^8}{5} =2.5\times 10^7

Now

0.25 mL contains = 2.5\times 10^7 \times0.25\times 10^{-3} = 6.25\times 10^3

Sara’s little brother is getting ready to color the picture of a rainbow that Sara drew for him. To make the task easier for her
krok68 [10]
There are seven colors in a rainbow, namely red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Therefore, there are 7 total possibilities. Keep in mind that when we two events are to happen together, their probabilities are mulitplied. Therefore, in the first case, P(violet) = 1/7 and P(orange) = 1/7; P(violet then orange) = 1/7 * 1/7 = 1/49. If the crayon is not replaced, P(orange) = 1/6. Therefore, P(violet then orange) = 1/7 * 1/6 = 1/42.

vazorg [7]

Answer:

The critical t values are -1.746 and 1.746.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

The weight of a USB flash drive is 30 grams and is normally distributed.

Population mean = 30

Sample size = 17

Sample mean= 31.9

Standard deviation = 1.8

Significance level, α=0.10

Null hypothesis: H_0:\mu=30

Alternative hypothesis: H_1:\mu\neq 30

It is a two tailed test.

The t-critical values for a two-tailed test, for a significance level of α=0.1 are  -1.746 and 1.746.

Therefore the critical t values are -1.746 and 1.746.
