What price do farmers get for their watermelon crops? In the third week of July, a random sample of 37 farming regions gave a sa

mple mean of x = $6.88 per 100 pounds of watermelon. Assume that ? is known to be $1.94 per 100 pounds.
(a) Find a 90% confidence interval for the population mean price (per 100 pounds) that farmers in this region get for their watermelon crop. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit $ upper limit $ margin of error $
(b) Find the sample size necessary for a 90% confidence level with maximal error of estimate E = 0.25 for the mean price per 100 pounds of watermelon. (Round up to the nearest whole number.) farming regions

Answer:

(a) 90% confidence interval for the population mean price (per 100 pounds) is ($6.34, $7.42)

Margin of error is $0.54

(b) The sample size is 172

(c) 90% confidence interval for the population mean cash value is ($1902.51, $2225.51)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval = mean + or - (t×sd)/√n

Mean = $6.88 per 100 pounds, sd = $1.94 per 100 pounds, n = 37, degree of freedom = n-1 = 37-1 = 36

t-value corresponding to 36 degrees of freedom and 90% confidence level is 1.688

(a) Lower limit = $6.88 - (1.688×$1.94)/√37 = $6.88 - $0.54 = $6.34

Upper limit = $6.88 + (1.688×$1.94)/√37 = $6.88 + $0.54 = $7.42

90% confidence interval is ($6.34, $7.42)

Margin of error (E) = (t×sd)/√n = (1.688×$1.94)/√37 = $0.54

(b) √n = (t×sd)/E = (1.688×$1.94)/0.25 = 13.10

n = 13.10^2 = 172

1 ton = 2000 pounds

15 tons = 15×2000 = 3000 pounds = 300 hundred pounds

Mean = $6.88×300 = $2064, sd = $1.94×300 = $582

Lower limit= $2064 - (1.688×$582)/√37 = $2064 - $161.51 = $1902.49

Upper limit= $2064 + (1.688×$582)/√37 = $2064+$161.51 = $2225.51

90% confidence interval is ($1902.49, $2225.51)

Margin of error = (1.688×$582)/√37 = $161.51

A toy company produces 1,000 toys per month. In January, 75 toys did not meet quality standards. The toy company generates a ran
erik [133]
Based on this sample, 100 toys will not meet standards.

There is 1 value that is 75 or lower in this simulation.  This makes the experimental probability 1/10.  1/10(1000) = 100 toys for the month.

Which set of integers is a Pythagorean triple and are side lengths of a right triangle?
Alona [7]
A) 3, 5, 6
c squared = a squared + b squared
6 squared = 5 squared + 3 squared
36 = 25 + 9
36 ≠ 34 (not a right triangle)

b) 13, 12, 5
c squared = a squared + b squared
13 squared = 12 squared + 5 squared
169 = 144 + 25
169 = 169 (is a right triangle)


c) 17, 15, 9
c squared = a squared + b squared
17 squared = 15 squared + 9 squared
289 = 225 + 81
289 ≠ 306 (not a right triangle)


d) 12, 8, 6
c squared = a squared + b squared
12 squared = 8 squared + 6 squared
144 = 64 + 36
144 ≠ 100 (not a right triangle)

hope this helps!!

The points (–5, 6) and (5, 6) are vertices of a hexagon. The line segment joining the two points forms one of the sides of the h
xxTIMURxx [149]

The information about the points being vertices that make up a line to represent the side of a hexagon is irrelevant, as we are only looking for the distance of a line based on their x and y coordinates.

Look at the point's x and y coordinates:

First point:

x = -5, y = 6

Second point:

x = 5, y = 6

You'll notice that the y-coordinate for both points is the same (6 = 6). This means that the segment created by the points will be horizontal, since there is only movement on the x-axis if you trace the segment from point to point.

To find the distance between the two points, we'll only need to subtract the first point's x-coordinate from the second:

5 - (-5) = 5 + 5 = 10

The answer will be the following statement:

Since the y-coordinates are the same, the segment is horizontal, and the distance between the points is 10 units.
