A researcher testing seed varieties for tulips got a confidence interval of (14.2%,17.4%) for the percent of seeds that can grow 16 inches tall. Find the sample proportion.

The sample proportion is 0.158.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a confidence interval of proportions, we have the lower bound and the upper bound of the interval. The sample proportion is the halfway points between these bounds, that is, the sum of these bounds divided by 2.

In this problem, we have that:

Lower bound: 0.142

Upper bound: 0.174

Sample proportion: (0.142+0.174)/2 = 0.158

The sample proportion is 0.158.

step-by-step explanation:

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
