You are the head of an international granting agency that assists farmers with soil conservation and sustainable agriculture. You have $10 million to disburse. Your agency’s staff has decided that the funding should go to (1) farmers in an arid area of Africa that is prone to salinization, (2) farmers in a fast-growing area of Indonesia where swidden agriculture is practiced, (3) farmers in Argentina practicing no-till agriculture, and (4) farmers in a dryland area of Mongolia undergoing desertification. What types of projects would you recommend funding in each of these areas, how would you apportion your funding among them, and why?

In a recent telephone survey, 5,000 randomly selected teenagers were asked to cite their primary social network site. six of 10 teenagers said they use mybook as their primary social network site. a 95% confidence interval to estimate the true proportion of teenagers who use mybook as their primary social network site is found to be (0.2964, 0.9036). which of the following is a correct interpretation of the confidence level? ninety-five percent of all samples of this size would yield a confidence interval of (0.2964, 0.9036). there is a 95% chance that the true proportion of teenagers who use mybook as their primary social network site is in the interval (0.2964, 0.9036). ninety-five percent of the time, the procedure used to generate this interval will capture the true proportion of teenagers who use mybook as their primary social network site. ninety-five percent of all the samples of size 5,000 lie in the confidence interval (0.2964, 0.9036).
