A poultry farmer wishes to estimate the average incubation period (the number of days between a hen laying her egg and the time

the egg hatches) for eggs on his farm. He plans to take a sample and make a 98% confidence interval, and would like a margin of error of half a day. It is known that the distribution of incubation lengths has a standard deviation of 1.5 days. How many eggs does he need to sample to create the desired interval

Answer:

49 eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Margin of Error =

z × standard deviation/√number of samples

z = z score of 98% confidence interval = 2.326

Margin of Error = Half a day = 1/2day = 0.5 day

Standard deviation = 1.5 days

Number of samples = number of eggs he needs to sample = unknown.

Imputing these above values into the formula

Margin of Error = z × standard deviation/√number of samples

0.5 = 2.326 × 1.5/√n

Cross Multiply

0.5 × √n = 2.326 × 1.5

√n = 2.326 × 1.5/0.5

√n = 3.489/0.5

√n = 6.978

Square both sides

(√n)² = 6.978²

n = 48.692484

n ≈ Approximately to the nearest whole number = 49

Therefore, the number of eggs he needs to sample to create the desired interval is approximately to the nearest whole number 49 eggs

Answer:

119.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Mean (m) = 100 years

Standard deviation (sd) = 15 years

closest to the age of a Galápagos Islands giant tortoise at the 90th percentile of the

distribution?

Obtain the Zscore for 90th percentile (0.90) on the z table = 1.28

Zscore = (X - mean) / standard deviation

1.28 = (X - 100) / 15

1.28 × 15 = X - 100

19.2 = X - 100

19.2 + 100 = X

X = 119.2

Answer:

277cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Base = 9x8=72

There are 2 triangles with a bottom edge of 9 and a slant height of 13:

1/2(9)(13)=58.5

There are 2 triangles with a bottom edge of 8 and a slant height of 11:

1/2(8)(11)=44

72+58.5+58.5+44+44=277cm²
