Dairy cows at large commercial farms often receive injections of bST (Bovine Somatotropin), a hormone used to spur milk producti

on. Bauman et al. (Journal of Dairy Science, 1989) reported that 12 cows given bST produced an average of 28.0 kg/d of milk. Assume that the standart deviation of milk production is 2.25 kg/d. (a) Find a 99% confidence interval for the true mean milk production. Round your answers to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76).

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the true mean milk production is between 26.33 kg/d and 29.67 kg/d.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.005 = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 2.575\frac{2.25}{\sqrt{12}} = 1.67

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 28 - 1.67 = 26.33 kg/d.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 28 + 1.67 = 29.67 kg/d.

The 99% confidence interval for the true mean milk production is between 26.33 kg/d and 29.67 kg/d.

vitfil [10]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x^2+2xy+y^2=(x+y)^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+y)^2=(x+y)(x+y)\\\\\text{Use FOIL}\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\=(x)(x)+(x)(y)+(y)(x)+(y)(y)=x^2+xy+xy+y^2=x^2+2xy+y^2
