A sample of 18 small bags of the same brand of candies was selected. Assume that the population distribution of bag weights is n

ki77a [65]

Answer:

a)

i. x=- - - - - -

ii. o=- - - - - -

iii. Sx=- - - - -

b) The random variable X signifies the weights of the bags of candies which are selected at random.

c) The statistics variable X is a measure on a sample that is used as an estimate of the population mean.X is the mean weight of the 16 bags of candies that were selected.

d) The distribution needed for this problem is normal distribution with parameters because the population standard deviation is known.

N(X, o/ $\sqrt{n}$ )

So, the distribution is

N(2, 0.12/ $\sqrt{16}$ )

e)

i. The 90% confidence interval for the population mean weight of the candies is 1.9589 , 2.0411

iii. The error bound is 0.0411

f)

i. The 98% confidence interval for the population mean weight of the candies is 1.9418 , 2.0582

iii. The error bound is 0.0582

g) The difference in the confidence intervals in part (f) and part (e) is of the level of confidence. The change is, the change in the area being calculated for the normal distribution. Therefore, the larger confidence level results in larger area and larger interval.

Hence the interval in part is larger than the one in part (e).

h) The interval in part (f) signifies that with 98% confidence that the population mean weight of the bag of candies lies between 1.942 ounce and 2.058 ounce.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

i. x=- - - - - -

ii. o=- - - - - -

iii. Sx=- - - - -

Jess will plant up to 27 acres on her farm with wheat and corn. More than 5 acres will be planted with wheat.

Lena [83]

The first thing we do in these cases is to define the variables.
We have then:
w = represent the number of acres of wheat
c = represent the number of acres of corn
We write now the inequalities based is:
"Jess will plant up to 27 acres on her farm with wheat and corn"
w + c <= 27
"More than 5 acres will be planted with wheat"
w> 5
Answer:
two inequalities that represent this situation are:
w + c <= 27
w> 5
