Question

Many ground level plants in tropical rainforests have adapted to the shade of the forest canopy. These plants tend to function well as house plants since they require minimal sunlight. A botanist is interested in "domesticating" a particular plant found in the Amazon rainforest. The botanist wants to estimate the true proportion of this species of plant that will survive inside. Assuming an appropriate sample can be obtained, which confidence interval would be most appropriate for this task? One sample z-confidence interval, One sample t-confidence interval, Paired-samples t-confidence interval, Independent samples t-confidence interval, Confidence interval for one proportion, or Confidence interval for two proportions

Explanation / Answer

AS THE BOTONIST IS EXPERIMENTING WITH ONLY ONE TYPE OF PLANT FOUND IN THE AMAZON THEN THE BEST SUITABLE CONFIDENCE INTERVAL ABOUT THE GROWTH OF THE PLANT WILL BE ONE SAMPLE Z CONFIDENCE INTERVAL BECAUSE IN ALL REST 1ST WE WILL REQUIRE THE MEAN OF THE PLANT AND THEN WE WILL REQUIRE DIFFERENT SAMPLE TO COUNTER THE MEAN

WHERE AS IN Z CONFIDENCE WE JUST REQUIRE THE MEAN TAKEN OUT OF THE WHOLE EXPERIMENT.
