The owner of Britten's Egg Farm wants to estimate the mean number of eggs produced per chicken. A sample of 17 chickens shows they produced an average of 23 eggs per month with a standard deviation of 5 eggs per month. For a 99% confidence interval, what is the value of t? What is the margin of error?

The owner of a poultry farm is interested in estimating the total weight gain, in a period of one month, for N=1500 chicks kept on a new feed. For this purpose, a simple random WOR sample of nl=25 chicks is observed for weight gain. The sample data yielded s^2=45 gm^2. Determine the sample size required to estimate total weight gain with two kg (=2000 gm) as the margin of error.
A farmer is interested in knowing the mean weight of his chickens when they leave the farm. Suppose that the standard deviation of the chickens' weight is 500 grams. (a) What is the minimum number of chickens needed to ensure the a standard deviation of the mean is no more than 100 grams with a confidence level of 0.95 ? (b) If the farm has three coops and the mean chicken weight in each coop is 1.8, 1.9, and $2 \mathrm{~kg}$, respectively, calculate the probability that a random sample of 50 chickens with an average weight larger than $1.975 \mathrm{~kg}$ comes from the first coop. Assume the weight of the chickens follows a normal distribution.
