Given that a random sample of 40 farmers gave a sample mean of \bar{x}=\$6.88 received by farmers per 100 pound of watermelon. Assume that σ is known to be $1.92 per 100 pounds.

Part A:

The 90% confidence interval for the population mean price (per 100lbs) that farmers get for their watermelon crop is given by:

90\% \ C.I.=\bar{x}\pm1.645 \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}  \\  \\ =6.88\pm1.645 \frac{1.92}{\sqrt{40}} =6.88\pm1.645(0.3036) \\  \\ =6.88\pm0.5=\bold{(\$6.38,\$7.38)}

The margin of error is $0.50

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean price (per 100lbs) that farmers get for their watermelon crop is given by:

99\%
 \ C.I.=\bar{x}\pm2.575 \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}  \\  \\ =6.88\pm2.575 
\frac{1.92}{\sqrt{40}} =6.88\pm2.575(0.3036) \\  \\ 
=6.88\pm0.78=\bold{(\$6.10,\$7.66)}

A longer confidence interval should be expected for a higher confidence, because the longer the interval, the more likely it will contain the true population mean.


Part B

Recall that 300 times 100 lbs = 15 tons.

The 90% confidence interval for the population mean price (per 15 tons) that farmers get for their watermelon crop is given by:

90\%
 \ C.I.=(6.38\times300,7.38\times300)=\bold{(\$1,914,\$2,214}

The margin of error is $0.50 x 300 = $150

Celinda thought of 89.5 in parts, 80 + 9 + 0.5, and divided each part: 80 ÷ 10 = 8; 9 ÷ 10 = or 0.9; 0.5 ÷ 10 = 0.05. Then she a
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Dividing each part into 10 and then summing the results up, is equivalent to dividing 89.5 into 10.  

Step-by-step explanation:

This example refers to the Distributive Property of the division, which is valid when the dividend is decomposed.

A simple example could be: 400 ÷ 10 = (200 ÷ 10) + (200 ÷ 10)

In the exposed example we know that 89.5 = 80 + 9 + 0.5.

  • <u>Option 1</u>

(80/10) + (9/10) + (0.5/10) =

8 + 0.9 + 0.05=

8.95

  • <u>Option 2</u>

89.5/10 = 8.95
