(a) Find a 90% confidence interval for the population mean price (per 100 pounds) that farmers in this region get for their watermelon crop (in dollars). What is the margin of error (in dollars)? (For each answer, enter a number. Round your answers to two decimal places.)


lower limit ____________    $ 
upper limit ____________    $ 
margin of error____________     $ 


(b) Find the sample size necessary for a 90% confidence level with maximal error of estimate E = 0.33 for the mean price per 100 pounds of watermelon. (Enter a number. Round up to the nearest whole number.)
 


______________ farming regions






(c) A farm brings 15 tons of watermelon to market. Find a 90% confidence interval for the population mean cash value of this crop (in dollars). What is the margin of error (in dollars)? Hint: 1 ton is 2000 pounds. (For each answer, enter a number. Round your answers to two decimal places.)
