A study of lobster trap placement used a 90​% confidence interval to estimate the mean trap spacing​ (in meters) for the populat

ion of red spiny lobster fishermen fishing in the west coast. How many teams of fisherman would need to be sampled in order to reduce the width of the confidence interval to 6 ​meters? Assume prior knowledge indicates that the trap spacing readings for the population of red spiny lobster taken during a day are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 11.9 meters.'\

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a study of lobster trap placement used a 90​% confidence interval to estimate the mean trap spacing​ (in meters) for the population of red spiny lobster fishermen fishing in the west coast.

Margin of error = 3 metres (half of width of confidence interval)

STd deviation = 11.9 metres

For 90% confidence interval we have margin of error

=1.645(\frac{11.9}{\sqrt{n} } ) = 6\\\sqrt{n} =\\3.2685

n =10.644

=11

The height of a trapezoid is 8 inches and its area is 96 in one base of the trapezoid is 6 inches longer than the other base wha
yan [13]
First is to get the given data that we might be able to use for computation.
H = 8 inches
Area = 96
B1 = B1
B2 = B1+6

Next is to know the area of a trapezoid
Area = H x (B1 + B2)/2
96 = 8 x (B1 + B1 + 6) / 2
96 = 8 x (2B1 + 6) /2
96 = 4 x (2B1 + 6)
14 = 2B1 + 6
2B1 = 8
B1 = 4
B2 = 10

What is the speed of a plane that travels at a rate of 410 mph with a wind of r​ mph?
Harrizon [31]
The airplane's speed in the direction of its heading is
.. 410 mph +r*cos(θ)
where θ is the angle between the plane's heading and the direction the wind is moving toward.

That is, if the plane is moving "with the wind," its speed is (410 +r) mph.
If the plane is moving "against the wind", its speed is (410 -r) mph.
