Answer to Problem 17.15AYK

Margin of Error = 0.2546

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  n=11

From the part (b)

  x¯=1.07s=0.379

Formula used:

  MarginofError = tα2×sn

Calculation:

For 0.05 level of significance and

Degree of Freedom

  df=n1=111=10

  t0.052,df=10=2.228

  MarginofError = tα2×sn=2.228×0.37911=0.2546

Pam, Rob and Sam get a cake that is one-third chocolate, one-third vanilla, and one-third strawberry as shown below. They wish to fairly divide the cake using the lone chooser method.  Pam likes strawberry twice as much as chocolate or vanilla.   Rob only likes chocolate.  Sam, the chooser, likes vanilla and strawberry twice as much as chocolate.  In the first division, Pam cuts the strawberry piece off and lets Rob choose his favorite piece.  Based on that, Rob chooses the chocolate and vanilla parts. Note: All cuts made to the cake shown below are vertical.Which is a second division that Rob would make of his share of the cake?
Three players (one divider and two choosers) are going to divide a cake fairly using the lone divider method. The divider cuts the cake into three slices (s1, s2, and s3). If the choosers' declarations are Chooser 1: {s1 , s2} and Chooser 2: {s2 , s3}. Using the lone-divider method, how many different fair divisions of this cake are possible?
