17.5 Spider webs. Exercise 17.2 gave the summary data (mean 634, standard error 30 cm2) for the web area of 15 female orb spiders. Assuming an approximately Normal distribution of web areas, and assuming that we can regard these 15 female orb spiders as an SRS of the population of all female orb spiders, give the 95* confidence interval for the mean web area u in this population.

Calcium is essential to tree growth. In 1990, the concentration of calcium in precipitation in a certain area was 0.11milligrams per liter (mg/L).A random sample of 10 precipitation dates in 2018 results in the following data table. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. (B) With 98% confidence, the mean concentration of calcium in precipitation in this area in 2018 is between
Samples of 400 printed circuit boards were selected from each of two productionlines A and B. Line A produced 40 defectives, and line B produced 80 defectives.Using an estimate for each line, do the data indicate that the two lines produce adifferent fraction of defective circuit boards, with 97% confidence.
A researcher collected sample data for 10 women ages 18 to 24. The sample had a mean serum cholesterol level (measured in mg/100 mL) of 188.4, with a standard deviation of 5.7. Assuming that serum cholesterol levels for women ages 18 to 24 are normally distributed, find a 99% confidence interval for the mean serum cholesterol level of all women in this age group. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 99% confidence interval.
