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

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = -( x-2)^2 +16

We want when h(x) = 0

0 = -( x-2)^2 +16

Subtract 16 from each side

-16  = -( x-2)^2 +16-16

-16 = -( x-2)^2

Divide by -1

16= ( x-2)^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt(16) = sqrt(( x-2)^2 )

±4 = x-2

Add 2 to each sdie

2 ±4 = x-2+2

2+4 = x     2-4 =x

6 =x           -2 =x

since time cannot be negative

x=6

Cindy took her five grandchildren to the movies, where she offered to buy all of them popcorn and candy. A popcorn bag costs $4.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

She buys 5 boxes of popcorn and 6 boxes of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because 5 times 4.00 is 20$ and 2.50 times 6 is 15$

15 + 20 is 35

so your answer is 5 boxes of popcorn and 6 boxes of candy

hope this helped :D
