You are conducting your own Rutherford scattering experiment in lab by scattering 5.5 MeV α-particles off of gold foil. You detector can detect a maximum of 2000 particles/sec. If you want to design your experiment such that you detect at least 1 particle/sec at a scattering angle of 50°, will you be able to use the same detector to measure the count rate at a scattering angle of 6°?

You are conducting an experiment in which you measure two means. Your null hypothesis is that they are the same (i.e. μ1 - μ2 = 0) and your experiment will test this hypothesis with a confidence level of alpha = 0.05. You would like to be able to detect a difference in means of+/- 1 with a probability of at least 0.9. How many samples do you need to test? The standard deviations of the two groups are σ1 =...
