- The time required to process a shipment of oysters varies directly with the number of pounds in the shipment and inversely with the number of workers assigned. If 5000 lb can be processed by 8 workers in 10 hours then how long would it take five workers to process 5000 lb?arrow_forwardA scientist investigated the effect of cross-fertilization on the heights of plants. In one study, the scientist planted 15pairs of a species of plant. Each pair consisted of one cross-fertilized plant and one self-fertilized plant grown in the same pot. The table available below gives the height differences, in eighths of an inch, for the 15 pairs. Each difference is obtained by subtracting the height of the self-fertilized plant from that of the cross-fertilized plant. Use the paired t-interval procedure to determine a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the mean heights of cross-fertilized and self-fertilized plants. Interpret the result. (Note: d=19.00 and sd=35.50.) The 99%confidence interval is from ____ eighths of an inch to_____ eighths of an inch. (Round to two decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) Which statement below best interprets the confidence interval? A. There is 99%confidence that the difference between the…arrow_forwardAmy folded a total of 516 paper cranes and stars for a charity fair on the 1st day. After selling 5/6 of the number of cranes and 2/3 of the number of stars, she folded another 72 cranes and 84 stars for sale on the 2nd day.
