A farmer has produced 1000 apples and wants to sell them. He can sell the apples at two different markets:

- At market 1, if the farmer sells x apples, he can sell them for 2/square root of x dollars each

- At market 2, if the farmer sells y apples, he can sell them for 4/square root of y dollars each.

Find out how the farmer should split his 1000 apples between both markets in order to maximize profit. (Use Optimization)

An apple orchard farmer wants to know the true population proportion of all apples harvested at their farm which have the less valuable condition of being blemished, or in other words, are cider apples. This true population proportion is a parameter value represented by the symbol p. As a population parameter, this value can never be known with certainty. It can however, be estimated with varying levels of confidence. To estimate this parameter p, the farmer draws a simple random...

A farmer has four different varieties of maize, and wants to compare their efficacy. He recognises however that output produced depends not only on the variety of maize, but also on the plot of land used for growing. He arranges an experiment in which quantity of each variety is planted on each of the five one acre plots. This means that the sample size n is 5 while the number of treatments K is 4. The yield is counted and...
