Answer:

Her total harvest over the

first 5 years that she owns the farm is 11277 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Maggie is starting a small farm. In her first year, she harvests 90.000 kilograms of kale.

As she gets better at planting, fertilizing and pest control,

each year her harvest increases by 3%.

So,

In First year

She owns 90,000 kg

In Second year

She owns 90,000 kg and her harvest is increases by 3%.

i.e.,

90000 × 3 ÷ 100 = 2700

So, The increase in 90,000 kg kale is 2,700

Now,

90,000 + 2,700 = 92,700 kg

In Third year

She owns 92,700 kg and her harvest is increases by 3%.

i.e.,

92700 × 3 ÷ 100 = 2781

So, The increase in 92,700 kg kale is 2781

Now,

92,700 + 2,781 = 95,481 kg

In Fourth year

She owns 95,481 kg and her harvest is increases by 3%.

i.e.,

95481 × 3 ÷ 100 = 2846

So, The increase in 95,481 kg kale is 2846

Now,

95,481 + 2,846 = 98,345 kg

In Fifth year

She owns 98,354 kg and her harvest is increases by 3%.

i.e.,

98354 × 3 ÷ 100 = 2950

So, The increase in 98354 kg kale is 2950

Now,

98354 + 2950 = 101,295 kg

Now,

In First five years She owns

2700 + 2781 + 2846 + 2950 = 11277 kg

Thus, her total harvest over the first 5 years that she owns the farm is 11277 kg

nlexa [21]

Answer:

(A) Type I error in the context of this problem is chances of regulators believing that the mean temperature of the discharged water is more than 150°F but in actual the mean temperature of the discharged water was 150°F.

(B) Type II error in the context of this problem is chances of regulators believing that the mean temperature of the discharged water is no more than 150°F but in actual the mean temperature of the discharged water was more than 150°F.

(C) An environmental group will consider the Type II error more serious.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a power plant discharges water into a river. Regulators determine that as long as the mean temperature of the discharged water is no more than 150°F, there will be no negative effects on the river’s ecosystem.

We are also given with the following hypothesis;

Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu = 150°F

Alternate Hypothesis, H_a : \mu > 150°F

(A) <u><em>Type I error</em></u><em> states that Probability of rejecting null hypothesis given the fact that null hypothesis was true or in other words Probability of rejecting a true hypothesis.</em>

So, Type I error in the context of this problem is chances of regulators believing that the mean temperature of the discharged water is more than 150°F but in actual the mean temperature of the discharged water was 150°F.

(B) <u><em>Type II error </em></u><em>states that Probability of accepting null hypothesis given the fact that null hypothesis was false or in other words Probability of accepting a false hypothesis.</em>

So, Type II error in the context of this problem is chances of regulators believing that the mean temperature of the discharged water is no more than 150°F but in actual the mean temperature of the discharged water was more than 150°F.

(C) An environmental group will consider the Type II error more serious because by committing Type II error they believe that the mean temperature of the discharged water is no more than 150°F and they assume that there is no negative effects on the river’s ecosystem but in reality that the mean temperature of the discharged water was more than 150°F and it is producing negative effects on the river’s ecosystem.
