Velvetleaf is a particularly annoying weed in cornfields. It produces lots of seeds, and the seeds wait in the soil for years until conditions are right. How many seeds do velvetleaf plants produce? (Use 96% confidence).

Here are counts from 28 plants that came up in a cornfield when no herbicide was used:

2450 2504 2114 1110 2137 8015 1623 1531 2008 1716
721 863 1136 2819 1911 2101 1051 218 1711 164

Velvetleaf is a particularly annoying weed in corn fields. It produces lots of seeds, and the seeds wait in the soil for years until conditions are right. The velvetleaf seed beetle feeds on the seeds and might be a natural weed control. Here are the total seeds, seeds infected by the beetle, and percent of seeds infected for 28 velvetleaf plants: Seeds Infected Percent 2450 135 5.7 2504 101 3.9 2114 76 3.7 1110 24 2.4 2137 121 5.8 8015...

A company produces plastic powder in lots of 2000 pounds at the beginning of each week. The company uses the powder in an injection moulding process at the steady rate of 50 pounds per hour for an eight-hour day, five days a week. The manager has indicated that the cost of placing an order is $100, but “we really have not determined what the holding cost is”. (1) What weekly holding cost rate does the lot size imply, assuming the...

A manufacturer of computer memory chips produces chips in lots of 1000. If nothing has gone wrong in the manufacturing process, at most 5 chips each lot would be defective, but if something does go wrong, there could be far more defective chips. If something goes wrong with a given lot, they discard the entire lot. It would be prohibitively expensive to test every chip in every lot, so they want to make the decision of whether or not to...
