Answer:
The number of mosquitoes is maximum for 6.5 inches rainfall.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is
.... (1)
where, M(x) is number of mosquitoes in millions and x the June rainfall in inches.
We need to find the rainfall that produces the maximum number of mosquitoes.
Differential the above function with respect to x.
.... (2)
Equate first derivative equal to 0.
Differential function (2) with respect to x.
Double derivative is negative. So, the value of function is maximum at x=6.5.
Therefore, the number of mosquitoes is maximum for 6.5 inches rainfall.
Answer:
Confidence Interval - 2.290 < S < 2.965
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete question
A chocolate chip cookie manufacturing company recorded the number of chocolate chips in a sample of 50 cookies. The mean is 23.33 and the standard deviation is 2.6. Construct a 80% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the numbers of chocolate chips in all such cookies.
Solution
Given
n=50
x=23.33
s=2.6
Alpha = 1-0.80 = 0.20
X^2(a/2,n-1) = X^2(0.10, 49) = 63.17
sqrt(63.17) = 7.948
X^2(1 - a/2,n-1) = X^2(0.90, 49) = 37.69
sqrt(37.69) = 6.139
s*sqrt(n-1) = 18.2
confidence interval:
(18.2/7.948) < S < (18.2/6.139)
2.290 < S < 2.965
