11 Rakti makes open-topped cylindrical planters out of thin sheets of galvanised steel. box

She bends a rectangle of steel to make an open cylinder and welds the joint. She
then welds this cylinder to the circumference of a circular base.

The planter must have a capacity of 8000 cm3

Welding is time consuming, so Rakti wants the total length of weld to be a minimum.

Calculate the radius, r, and height, h, of a planter which requires the minimum total
length of weld.

Fully justify your answers, giving them to an appropriate degree of accuracy.

germinate than other brands of seeds.

Martin sows 20 of this new brand of seed and 18 successfully germinate.

Carry out a hypothesis test at the 5% level of significance to investigate the

producer’s claim.
