A homeowner plans to enclose a 200 square foot rectangular playground in his garden, with one side along the boundary of his pro

perty. His neighbor will pay for one third of the cost of materials on that side. Find the dimensions of the playground that will minimize the homeowner's total cost for materials.

Answer:

The dimensions are 50 and 100 square foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = length of fenced side parallel to the side that borders the playground

   y = length of each of the other two fenced sides  

Then, x + 2y = 200

<=> x = 200-2y

The Area = xy = y(200-2y)

The dimensions of the playground that will minimize the homeowner's total cost for materials when the area of the playground is maximum. He can cover more area but with the same cost.

The graph of the area function is a parabola opening downward.

The maximum area occurs when y = -200/[2(-2)] = 50

=> x = 100

So the dimensions are 50 and 100 square foot

A study of peach trees found that the average number of peaches per tree was 725. The standard deviation of the population is 70
TEA [102]

Answer:

She needs to sample 189 trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.025 = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The standard deviation of the population is 70 peaches per tree.

This means that \sigma = 70

How many trees does she need to sample to obtain an average accurate to within 10 peaches per tree?

She needs to sample n trees.

n is found when M = 10. So

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

10 = 1.96\frac{70}{\sqrt{n}}

10\sqrt{n} = 1.96*70

Dividing both sides by 10:

\sqrt{n} = 1.96*7

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.96*7)^2

n = 188.2

Rounding up:

She needs to sample 189 trees.
