Fertilizer is sold in 100 pound bags labelled with the amount of nitrogen ( N), phosphoric acid ( P205), and potash ( K20) present. The mixture of these nutrients varies from one type of fertilizer to the next. For example, a 100 pound bag of Vigoro Ultra Turf fertilizer contains 29 pounds of nitrogen, 3 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 4 pounds of potash. Another type of fertilizer, Parker's Premium Starter, has 18 pounds of nitrogen, 25 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 6 pounds of potash per 100 pounds. Determine the total amount of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash in the mixture of 300 pounds of Vigoro and 200 pounds of Parker's. The mixture contains pounds of nitrogen, pounds of phosphoric acid, and pounds of potash.

A farmer wishes to determine which of two brands of baby pig pellets, Kent or Moormans, produces better weight gains. Two of his sows each give birth to litters of 10 pigs on the same day, so he decides to give the baby pigs in litter A only Kent pellets, while the pigs in litter B will get only Moormans pellets. After 4 weeks , the average weigh tgain for pigs in litter A is greater than the average weight gain for pigs in litter B. The feed they get is not the only factor affecting the rate at which pigs gain weight. Genetic differences also affect weight gain. It is likely that the pigs in litter A are genetically different from the pigs in litter B since the two litters have different mothers. What experimental design technique could the farmer use to take into account the genetic differences? A)placebo B) probability sampling C)Blocking D)observational study E)double-blinding
In comparing the average protein content µ1 and µ2 of two brands of dog food, a consumer testing service finds that fifty 5-pund packages of brand A dog food had an average protein content x̅1=11 ounces per package and a s.d of s1 = 1 ounce, while sixty-5 pound packages of brand B dog food has an average protein content x̅2=9ounces per package and a s.d of s2 = 0.5 ounce. A difference of 0.5 ounces is considered to be not sufficiently important to report as a consumer issue. Therefore, a decision was made to test the hypothesis.

A political mailing will have several pages on the economy, the military, and the environment. The total number of these pages in the booklet should not be greater than 110, including at most 20 pages on the economy. For the target group that will receive the booklet, market research suggests that there will be a positive impact proportional to 5 times the number of pages on the economy, a positive impact proportional to 3 times the number of pages on the military, and a positive impact proportional to 2 times the number of pages on the environment. The editor insists that the number of pages on the environment be at least twice as many as the number on the military. Find the number of pages that should be devoted to the economy, the military, and the environment. (Hint: Write the constraint involving environment and military pages in the form ≤0.)
