Step-by-step explanation:
The notion of "cross-multiplying" is the idea that the numerator on the left is multiplied by the denominator on the right, and the numerator on the right is multiplied by the denominator on the left. This looks like ...
Then the solution proceeds by eliminating parentheses, and solving the resulting quadratic equation.

<em>Comment on "cross multiply"</em>
Like a lot of instructions in Algebra courses, the idea of "cross multiply" describes <em>what the result looks like</em>. It doesn't adequately describe how you get there. The <em>one and only rule</em> in solving Algebra problems is "<em>whatever is done to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side of the equation</em>." If you multiply one side by one thing and the other side by a different thing, you are violating this rule.
What looks like "cross multiply" is really "<em>multiply by the product of the denominators</em> and cancel like terms from numerator and denominator." Here's what that looks like with the intermediate steps added.
Answer:
She needs to sample 189 trees.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of .
That is z with a pvalue of , so Z = 1.96.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
The standard deviation of the population is 70 peaches per tree.
This means that
How many trees does she need to sample to obtain an average accurate to within 10 peaches per tree?
She needs to sample n trees.
n is found when M = 10. So
Dividing both sides by 10:
Rounding up:
She needs to sample 189 trees.
