Crop researchers plant 15 plots with a new variety of corn. The yields in bushels per acre are: 138.0 139.1 113.0 132.5 140.7 10

9.7 118.9 134.8 109.6 127.3 115.6 130.4 130.2 111.7 105.5 Assume that bushels per acre. a) Find the 90% confidence interval for the mean yield for this variety of corn. b) Find the 95% confidence interval. c) Find the 99% confidence interval. d) How do the margins of error in (a), (b), and (c) change as the confidence level increases?

There is a relationship between confidence interval and standard deviation:
\theta=\overline{x} \pm \frac{z\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}
Where \overline{x} is the mean, \sigma is standard deviation, and n is number of data points.
Every confidence interval has associated z value. This can be found online.
We need to find the standard deviation first: 
\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\overline{x})^2}{n}
When we do all the calculations we find that:
\overline{x}=123.8\\ \sigma=11.84
Now we can find confidence intervals:
($90\%,z=1.645): \theta=123.8 \pm \frac{1.645\cdot 11.84}{\sqrt{15}}=123.8 \pm5.0\\($95\%,z=1.960): \theta=123.8 \pm \frac{1.960\cdot 11.84}{\sqrt{15}}=123.8 \pm 5.99\\ ($99\%,z=2.576): \theta=123.8 \pm \frac{2.576\cdot 11.84}{\sqrt{15}}=123.8 \pm 7.87\\
We can see that as confidence interval increases so does the error margin. Z values accociated with each confidence intreval also get bigger as confidence interval increases.
Here is the link to the spreadsheet with standard deviation calculation:

What is the ratio of the width of the yard to the area of the yard in 10 feet long by 7 feet wide
dezoksy [38]

Area = (length) x (width)

Area = (10-ft) x (7-ft) = 70 ft²

(Width) / (Area) = (7-ft) / (70 ft²)  =  1 / 10-ft .

We are throwing darts on a disk-shaped board of radius 5. We assume that the proposition of the dart is a uniformly chosen point
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

the probability that we hit the bullseye at least 100 times is 0.0113

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Binomial distribution

We find the probability of hitting the dart on the disk

⇒ Area of small disk / Area of bigger disk

⇒ πR₁² / πR₂²

given that; disk-shaped board of radius R² = 5, disk-shaped bullseye with radius R₁ = 1

so we substitute

⇒ π(1)² / π(5)² = π/π25 = 1/25 = 0.04

Since we have to hit the disk 2000 times, we represent the number of times the smaller disk ( BULLSEYE ) will be hit by X.

so

X ~ Bin( 2000, 0.04 )

n = 2000

p = 0.04

np = 2000 × 0.04 = 80

Using central limit theorem;

X ~ N( np, np( 1 - p ) )

we substitute

X ~ N( 80, 80( 1 - 0.04 ) )

X ~ N( 80, 80( 0.96 ) )

X ~ N( 80, 76.8 )

So, the probability that we hit the bullseye at least 100 times, P( X ≥ 100 ) will be;

we covert to standard normal variable

⇒ P( X ≥  \frac{100-80}{\sqrt{76.8} } )

⇒ P( X ≥ 2.28217 )

From standard normal distribution table

P( X ≥ 2.28217 ) = 0.0113

Therefore, the probability that we hit the bullseye at least 100 times is 0.0113

The highway fuel economy of a 2016 Lexus RX 350 FWD 6-cylinder 3.5-L automatic 5-speed using premium fuel is a normally distribu
Elodia [21]

Answer:

a) Standard error = 0.5

b) 99% Confidence interval:  (19.2125,21.7875)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean =  20.50 mpg

Sample standard deviation = 3.00 mpg

Sample size , n = 36

Standard Error =

=\displaystyle\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{36}} = 0.5

99% Confidence interval:

\mu \pm z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Putting the values, we get,

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.01} = \pm 2.575

20.50 \pm 2.575(\displaystyle\frac{3}{\sqrt{36}})= 20.50 \pm 1.2875 = (19.2125,21.7875)
