. A new rocket-launching system is being considered for deployment of small, short-range rockets. The existing system has p = 0.8 as the probability of a successful launch. A sample of 40 experimental launches is made with the new system, and 34 are successful. Using 95% confidence, the confidence interval is 0.85 + 0.111. What is the sample size required @ 90% level of confidence

The average height of all male students in ENG2015 in section A is 5 feet and 9 inches (or 175.26 centimeters). A sample of 18 male is selected, and their heights (in centimeters) are in the table below. Develop a 95% confidence interval to estimate the population mean.
A sample of 49 sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) cases had a mean birth weight of 2998 g. Based on other births in the county, we will assume σ = 800 g. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the mean birth weight of SIDS cases in the county. Interpret your results.
A sample of 1200 females and 1000 males found that 78.3% of females and 35.1% males supported increased funding of arts. Construct a 90% confidence interval around the difference in proportions.
Suppose you are planning an experiment and a sample has yet been selected. For this experiment you plan on taking a SRS of 50 mice with pancreatic cancer measuring a particular hormone level. What would be the impact on a 95% confidence interval calculated from the experiment on these mice if instead of a SRS of 50 mice, a SRS of 200 mice were taken?

A car manufacture produces a new car that advertises an average of 30 MPG. The distribution of MPG of cars is normally distributed. The manufacturer will test 30 cars off the assembly line to find a confidence interval of the average MPG of their new vehicle to determine if it is close to 30. The average MPG of the 30 cars is 31.2 gallons with a standard deviation of 2 gallons. Find a 95% confidence interval for the average MPG of the new vehicle.

Bilirubin is a yellowish substance in your blood that forms after red blood cells break down and it travels through your liver, gallbladder, and digestive tract before being excreted. Elevated levels may indicate liver damage as your liver isn’t clearing bilirubin properly. A researcher is interested in estimating the mean Bilirubin level for a population of patients with liver disease along with its 90% confidence interval. The researcher collected data from a sample of 24 patients and found the average Bilirubin level is 86.08 with standard deviation 106. However, due to the skewness in the data, a natural logarithm of the data was performed to satisfy normality assumption required for calculating the confidence interval. The resulted 90% confidence interval for the mean Bilirubin level under the natural log transformation is (3.69,4.3). Which one of the following options best helps the researcher in making inference about the true population mean Bilirubin level? a. Based…
Researchers want to test a new hand exercise plan for arthritis patients to see if they have improved flexibility. They recruited 110 patients with arthritis in their hands and randomly assigned them to one of two treatment groups: group i took their regular medicine and did the new hand exercises; and group 2 only took medicine. After one month, 42 of the 55 in group 1 improved in their flexibility, and 37 of the 55 in group 2 improved their flexibility. Based on the 95% confidence interval (-0.076, 0.258), is there convincing evidence of a difference in the proportion of patients like these who would show improvement in flexibility if they did the new hand exercises along with taking the medicine versus just taking the medicine? v to believe there va difference in the proportion of patients like these who would show improvement in flexibility if they did the new hand exercises along with taking the medicine versus just taking the medicine. Because v contained in the interval, there…
