A horticultural researcher is investigating the mean height of a certain type of plant. in making inferences about the mean height of this plant, the error of estimation, d can be no larger then 3cm. given thatit is known that sigma=16 cm, how large of a sample is necessary for the error of estimation to be no larger than 3cm if the horticulturalist requires a 92% CONFIDENCE OF MEW
At 92% confidence interval the critical value is z* = 1.75
Margin of error = 3
Or, z* *
=
3
Or, 1.75 * 16/
= 3
Or, n = (1.75 * 16/3)^2
Or, n = 88

13) A certain type of seed has always grown to a mean height of 8.5 inches. A researcher wants to find out whether a new fertilizer would improve the mean height. The claim is seeds treated with the new fertilizer will have a mean height greater than 8.5 inches. a) What is the null hypothesis? b) What is mean by making Type 1 error? c) What is mean by making a Type 2 error? d) Who suffers most when a...
A researcher wants to determine the impact of soil type on the growth of a certain type of plant. She grows three plants in each of four different types of soil and measures the growth in inches for each plant after one month resulting in the data below. A1 Use this file: Assignment 9q2 data FOR R ) What null hypothesis is the researcher testing if she runs an ANOVA with this data ( The variability in growth of the...
The height that a certain type of plant reaches a month after being planted is normally distributed with a mean of 10cm and a standard deviation of 2cm. (a) For a randomly selected plant, what is the probability that its height is (i) more than 13cm? (5 marks) (ii) less than 8cm? (5 marks) (b) A random sample of 10 plants is taken. (i) What is the expected value and standard error of Xbar , the mean height of these...
1. To determine the mean cost of groceries in a certain city with known standard deviation of $2, an identical grocery basket of food is purchased at each store in a random sample of nine stores. If the average cost is $47.52, the 95% confidence interval estimate for the cost of these groceries in the city is (assume cost of groceries is normally distributed). A) $47.52 ± $1.22 B) $47.52 ± $1.31 C) $47.52 ± $1.42 D) $47.52 ± $4.49...
. Fowle Marketing Research, Inc., bases charges to a client on the assumption that telephone surveys can be completed in a mean time of 15 minutes or less. If a longer mean survey time is necessary, a premium rate is charged. A sample of 35 surveys provided the survey times shown in the file named Fowle. Based upon past studies, the population standard deviation is assumed known with σ = 4 minutes. Is the premium rate justified?(a). Formulate the null...

11. Which of the following conditions does not allow you to use the formula Xtza to estimate u? a. b. C. d. Population is normally distributed and the population variance is known. Population is not normally distributed but n is large; population variance is known. Population has any distribution and n is any size. All of these choices allow you to use the formula 12. The larger the confidence level, the a. smaller the value of...

Suppose the mean height of women age 20 years or older in a certain country is 62.5 inches. One hundred randomly selected women in a certain city had a mean height of 61.0 inches. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean height of women in the city differs from the national mean? Assume that the population standard deviation of the heights of women in the city is 4.1 inches...
1. A research company surveyed 650 adults in the US to estimate what percent of the country were afraid of their identity being stolen. From the sample, 408 indicated that they were afraid of their identity being stolen. Find the 92% confidence interval for the proportion of all adults in the US who are afraid of their identity being stolen. Round to 4 decimal points. 2. A laboratory tested 90 chicken eggs and found that the mean amount of cholesterol...
