Under ideal conditions, a bacteria population (denoted P) is known to double every 8 hours. Suppose there are initially 3 bacteria.

  1. What is the size of the population after 40 hours?

  2. What is the size of the population after t hours?

  3. Estimate the size of the population after 45 hours. Round up to the nearest integer.

The life in hours of a 75-watt light bulb is known to be normally distributed with σ = 22 hours. A random sample of 20 bulbs has a mean life of x = 1014 hours. Suppose that we wanted the total width of the two-sided confidence interval on mean life to be six hours at 95% confidence. What sample size should be used? Round up the answer to the nearest integer.
