1.What price do farmers get for the peach crops?
----------------------
in the third week of June, a random sample of 40 farming regions gave a sample mean of $6.88 per basket.
--------------------------
assume that the standard deviation is known to be $1.92 per basket.
--------------------------------
find a 90% confidence interval for the population mean price per basket that farmers in this region get for their peach crop.
p-hat = 6.88
std = 1.92
--------------------
ME = 1.645(1.92/sqrt(40)) = 0.4994
---
90%CI: 6.88-0.4994 < u < 6.88+0.4994
---
90%CI: 6.3806< u < 7.3794
================================
2.Using the the information from #1, calculate the margin of error. Round your answer to 2 decimal places
---
ME = 0.4994
===============
Cheers,
