5.) Suppose a researcher collected data on the mean height of tomato plants grown in organic soil, and in computing the confidence interval for the population mean, and the margin of error was computed to be 4.86 inches.
Use that to answer the following questions:
a. What is the length of the confidence interval (i.e. from the first number to the second how long is the interval) if the margin of error is 4.86 inches? (2pts)
b. If the data collected came from 25 tomato plants and the mean for the sample was 13.8 inches what is the confidence interval that was found? (2pts)
c. Suppose the sample size was increased from 25 plants to 100 plants, how would the margin of error change? Be specific. (2pts)

A 95% confidence interval for the mean height in millimeters of hydroponic tomato plants 14 days after germination is (56.1, 66.9). What is the correct interpretation of the confident interval? We can be 95% confident that the true mean height of hydroponic tomato plants 14 days after germination is between 56.1 and 66.9 millimeters. We can be 95% confident that the sample mean height of hydroponic tomato plants 14 days after germination is between 56.1 and 66.9 millimeters. 95% of...

In a study on infants, one of the characteristics measured was head circumference. The mean head circumference of 14 infants was 34.6 cm. Assuming that head circumferences for infants are normally distributed with standard deviation 2.1 cm, determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean head circumference of all infants. Step 1: Determine ??/2. Step 2: Determine the CI. Step 3: Interpret the CI. Obtain the margin of error, ?, for the CI you found in part (a). Determine the...
