Question

:    Researchers    studies    the    effect    of    a    fertilizer    on    radish    sprout    growth.        They    randomly    
selected     some     radish     seeds     to     serve     as     controls,    while     others    were     planted    in     aluminum     planters     to    
which    fertilizer    sticks    were    added.    Other    conditions    were    held    constant    between    the    two    groups.    The    
following    table    shows    a    summary    of    the    heights    of    plants    (in    cm)    2    weeks    after    germination

Compute a    95%    confidence    interval     for    the    difference    in    mean    heights    between     fertilized    and    
unfertilized    plants

Which    confidence    interval    has    the    largest    margin    of    error    [Circle    One]:
(a)    95%    CI    for    the    mean    difference with    sample    size    n1=n2=20
(b)    99%    CI    for    the    mean    difference    with    sample    size    n1=n2=20
(c)    90%    CI    for    the    mean    difference with    sample    size    n1=n2=50

Compute    the    required    sample    size    for    each of    the    two    groups    to    obtain    a    margin    of    error    of    a    
95%    confidence    interval    in    (iii)    of    length    0.1
