Confidence Interval for the Mean of Population

Taking a sample from a population, we get the point estimate of the parameter of interest and calculate the standard error to indicate the accuracy of the estimate. However, in most cases the standard error is not acceptable as a measure of accuracy. Much more useful to combine this measure with the interval estimate of the population parameter. This can be done using knowledge of the theoretical probability distribution of sample statistics (parameter) in order to calculate the confidence interval (CI - Confidence Interval) for the parameter. The sample mean has a normal distribution when the sample size is ...

Australopithecus afarensis is one of the best-known human predecessors that were ever unearthed, who lived from three to four million years ago in Eastern and Southern Africa. It is also one of the first ancestors of an actual Homo sapiens who combined its ad apes’ characteristics. If we look at the images that scientists came up with when they tried to rebuild initial appearance of the hominids, we will find nothing in common with a modern human being. Australopithecus afarensis looks more like an ape – he has a flat and wide nose, heavy lower jaw with a small braincase. ...

In order to determine the sample size of a research, it is needed to determine the permissible scope of sampling error, confidence level and the expected variance. The values ​​of these parameters will depend on the trade-off between the value of more accurate information and the cost of increasing the sample size. A confidence level is the degree of certainty that the observed value of the element falls within a given range of the confidence interval. Generally, the most widely used is 95% confidence level. To obtain more accurate data confidence level may be increased to 99%, but this ...

Abstract

Adsorption differs from absorption and activated clays are one of the most effective adsorbents in nature. The adsorbing action of activated clay is a selective adsorption process. Due to its effectiveness, activated clay has wide applications such as cleaning up oil spills and adsorbing dyes. Zeolite made up of silicon, aluminum and oxygen is also an adsorber, and it can be synthesized. Synthesis simply increases its pore or cavity sizes and makes it hydrophobic. Zeolites are selective adsorbers because of their unique pore sizes. Zeolites are used in removing heavy metals such as zinc, iron, copper, chromium and so ...

Insect Life Cycles/Colony Collapse Disorder

Insects undergo several growth and development stages during their life cycle. There are three distinct processes that different insects undergo as they grow. The processes are; ametabolism, hemimetabolism, and holometabolism (Mackean 2004).

This is the simplest type of all development processes and is used by primitive insects like silverfish. The insects emerge from the eggs with the same body plan as the adults and increase in size without changing shape until they mature.

Hemimetabolism

In this process, the insect undergoes gradual progressive change until it attains sexual maturity. The stages involved in this process are; egg, nymph, and adult. At ...
