A researcher wanted to know if the mean corn yield in Illinois had changed from 130. She took a simple random sample of 31 farmers from Illinois and surveyed their corn yield. The sample mean was 136.25 bushels per acre, and the standard deviation was 13.25 bushels per acre. What is the value of the appropriate test statistic?
Homework Answers
Test statistics
t = (
- 
) / ( S / sqrt(n) )
= ( 136.25 - 130) / ( 13.25 / sqrt(31) )
= 2.63

A random sample of 9 fields of corn has a mean yield of 38.2 bushels per acre and standard deviation of 9.66 bushels per acre. Determine the 80% confidence interval for the true mean yield. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

In an agricultural study, the average amount of corn yield is normally distributed with a mean of 185.2 bushels of corn per acre, with a standard deviation of 23.5 bushels of corn. If a study included 1200 acres, about how many would be expected to yield more than 206 bushels of corn per acre?

Use the following scenario to answer Questions 1-6. You work for an agricultural company that develops a range of products to help famers maximize crop production. You are given the task of evaluating the effectiveness of a new pesticide your company developed. A competing company advertises that their pesticide increased average corn yield by 9 bushels per acre compared to the previous year. Your employer asks you if they can safely claim that their pesticide increased average corn yield by...

An agricultural researcher plants 40 plots with a new variety of yellow corn. Suppose that the yield per acre for the new variety of yellow corn follows a Normal distribution with an unknown mean of μ and a standard deviation of σ = 12 bushels per acre. Which of the following would produce a confidence interval with a smaller width (or length) than the 95% confidence interval? Plant only 10 plots rather than 40, because 10 are easier to manage...

A random sample of 101 fields of rye has a mean yield of 36.9 bushels per acre and standard deviation of 3.32 bushels per acre. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the true mean yield. Assume the population is normally distributed. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.
The average yield of the standard variety off soybeans per acre on a farm in a...
The average yield of the standard variety off soybeans per acre on a farm in a region is 48.8 bushels per acre, with a standard deviation of 12.0 bushels per acre. We have developed a new variety of soybean that we believe will have a higher mean yield per acre. To test this, we draw a random sample of 36 one-acre plots from the region, plant the new variety of soybean, and compute the sample mean yield per acre. The...
