10. A chemist has developed a new synthetic fiber. To measure the fiber's strength, experiments are performed on ten strands of this fiber to determine the average number of pounds that can be supported by strands of this fiber before breaking. The following breaking-load results (in pounds) were obtained: 3.3 2.2 3.1 2.8 2.6 2.9 3.0 2.4 2.7 3.2 Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean breaking strength of a strand of this new fiber.

1 The results below are based on a sample of 20 employees selected to study the relationship between income (Y, in $1,000) and four variables: Age (X1, in years), work experience (X2,in years), number of years of education (X3), and number of past jobs (X4). Find the lower end point in a 90% confidence interval for the change in the mean salary in dollars, for a unit change in number of past jobs, assuming that the other predictors remain unchanged. Note that normality is assumed for the multiple regression model.

A major department store chain is interested in estimating the average amount its credit card customers spent on their first visit to the chain's new store in the mall. Fifteen credit card accounts were randomly sampled and analyzed with the following results: x = $50.50 and s2 = 400. A 95% confidence interval for the average amount the credit card customers spent on their first visit to the chain's new store in the mall is: a. $50.50 ± $11.00 b. $50.50 ± $9.09 c. $50.50 ± $11.79 d. $50.50 ± $10.12 e. $50.50 ± $11.08

A laboratory in Arizona is imerested in finding the mean chloride level for a healthy resident in the state. A random sample of 90 healthy residents has a mean chloride level of 103 mEq If it is known that the L chloride levels in healthy individuals residing in Arizona have a standard deviation of 42 mEq, find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean L' chloride level of all healthy Arizona residents. Then give its lower limit and upper limit. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

As a project site civil engineer, you will evaluate the production and process of the concrete producers. You will find that whether the concrete is too watery or not. From the data, the contract specification state that the slump for the concrete used should be 1 inch, with a 90% level of confidence(hint: this is redundant given). So, we will take 10 random samples of fresh concrete and measure the slump. Data: 0.95 1.21 1.03 1.10 1.01 0.99 0.89 0.97 1.01 0.99 Test the hypothesis that mean concrete is different from 1 inch at 10% or 0.10 level of significance. HINT: t-test: two-tailed test.
