1. Sampling error is the difference between a sample statistic and a population parameter. 2. The confidence interval for the mean is symmetrical around the sample mean 3. Let X be the number of customers waiting in line to enter Trader Joe's on a given time frame. If we take a sample of 100 time frames, the sample mean of these samples (x) will follow approximate normal distribution.

12. (Two Samples) According to a survey, the mean price of gasoline in the United States was $1.20 per gallon in 1995 and $1.10 per gallon in 1994. (U.S. News & World Report, June 12, 1995). Suppose these means were based on random samples of 100 gasoline stations for 1995 and 120 gasoline stations for 1994. Also, assume that the sample standard deviations were $0.11 for 1995 and $0.10 for 1994. a. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the mean gasoline prices for 1995 & 1994. b. Test at the 1% significance level if the mean gasoline price was higher in 1995 than in 1994.
