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

Jack is mowing a lawn that has a shed. needs to know area of lawn to mow. dimensions of yard are 5x by 13 x-4 . she'd are 2x by
Elena-2011 [213]
The diagram of the lawn and the shed is shown below.

The area of the lawn needed to be mowed equals to the area of the yard minus the area of the shed

The area of the yard = (5x)(13x-4) = 65 x^{2} -20x
The area of the shed = (2x)(2x+4)=4 x^{2} +8x

The area of the lawn = 65 x^{2} -20x-(4 x^{2} +8x)
The area of the lawn = 65 x^{2} -20x-4 x^{2} -8x
The area of the lawn = 61 x^{2} -28x

(x – 3)(4x + 2) using the distributive property. Select the answer choice showing the correct distribution
Nataly [62]

The distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac

(x - 3)(4x + 2) = (x)(4x + 2) + (-3)(4x + 2)

= (x)(4x) + (x)(2) + (-3)(4x) + (-3)(2) = 4x² + 2x - 12x - 6

<h3>= 4x² - 10x - 6</h3>
