Mona wants to obtain a 94% confidence interval for the mean weight of turtles. She read in the Big Book of Turtles that the stan

dard deviation of turtle weight is 37 grams. If her confidence interval must have a length of no more than 15, how many turtles must she weigh?

Answer:

87

Step-by-step explanation:

Population standard deviation = σ = 37 grams

Confidence interval = 94%

(1-α)×100% = 94

⇒α = 0.06

From table z table and interpolation

z = 1.881

L = Confidence interval length = 15

N = Number of samples

L=2z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt N}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt N=2z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{L}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt N=2\times 1.881\frac{37}{15}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt N=9.2796\\\Rightarrow N=86.11097616\approx 87

∴ Number of turtles must she must weigh is 87

The lateral surface area S of a right circular cone is given by (equation given below). What radius should be used to produce a
Dima020 [189]
Given:
Lateral Area = π * r * (√h² + r²)

Lateral Area = 100 in² ; height = 5 in

I find it hard to derive the formula of r because of the radical sign. So, I'll just plug each radius to the formula to check confirm the given lateral area.

a) r = 1.52138 ⇒ LA = 24.98
b) r = 4.658 ⇒ LA = 100 
c) r = 78 ⇒ LA = 19152.68
d) r = 6.7432 ⇒ LA = 177.84

The radius is B.) r = 4.658 inches
