In an agricultural study, the average amount of corn yield is normally distributed with a mean of 185.2 bushels of corn per acre

, with a standard deviation of 23.5 bushels of corn. If a study included 1100 acres, about how many would be expected to yield more than 190 bushels of corn per acre?
A. 639 acresB. 461 acresC. 419 acresD. 503 acres

Answer: B. 461 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In an agricultural study, the average amount of corn yield is normally distributed with a mean of 185.2 bushels of corn per acre, with a standard deviation of 23.5 bushels of corn.

i.e. $\mu=185.2\ \ , \ \sigma=23.5$

Let x denotes the amount of corn yield.

Now, the probability that the amount of corn yield is more than 190 bushels of corn per acre.

$P(x>190)=P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}>\dfrac{190-185.2}{23.5})$

[Formula : $z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$ ]

$=P(z>0.2043)=1-P(z$ [∵ P(Z>z)=1-P(Z<z)]

$1-0.5809405$ [using z-value calculator or table]

$=0.4190595$

Now, If a study included 1100 acres then the expected number to yield more than 190 bushels of corn per acre :-

$0.4190595\times1100=460.96545\approx461\text{ acres}$

hence, the correct answer is B. 461 acres .

zalisa [80]

Answer:

(a) The sample sizes are 6787.

(b) The sample sizes are 6666.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The information provided is:

Confidence level = 98%

MOE = 0.02

n₁ = n₂ = n

$\hat p_{1} = \hat p_{2} = \hat p = 0.50\ (\text{Assume})$

Compute the sample sizes as follows:

$MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{2\times\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}$

$n=\frac{2\times\hat p(1-\hat p)\times (z_{\alpha/2})^{2}}{MOE^{2}}$

$=\frac{2\times0.50(1-0.50)\times (2.33)^{2}}{0.02^{2}}\\\\=6786.125\\\\\approx 6787$

Thus, the sample sizes are 6787.

(b)

Now it is provided that:

$\hat p_{1}=0.45\\\hat p_{2}=0.58$

Compute the sample size as follows:

$MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_{1}(1-\hat p_{1})+\hat p_{2}(1-\hat p_{2})}{n}$

$n=\frac{(z_{\alpha/2})^{2}\times [\hat p_{1}(1-\hat p_{1})+\hat p_{2}(1-\hat p_{2})]}{MOE^{2}}$

$=\frac{2.33^{2}\times [0.45(1-0.45)+0.58(1-0.58)]}{0.02^{2}}\\\\=6665.331975\\\\\approx 6666$

Thus, the sample sizes are 6666.

Answer:

$x^2+18=-9x : x = -3, x = -6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+18=-9x$

Add 9x to both sides:

$x^2+18+9x=-9x+9x$

Simplify:

$x^2+9x+18=0$

Solve with the quadratic formula:

For a quadratic equation of the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ the solutions are:

$x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

For $a=1,\:b=9,\:c=18:\quad x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-9\pm \sqrt{9^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:18}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$x =\frac{-9 + \sqrt{9^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:18}}{2\cdot \:1} : -3$

$x =\frac{-9 - \sqrt{9^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:18}}{2\cdot \:1} : -6$

The solution to the quadratic equation are:

$x=-3,\:x=-6$
