2. A sample of 43 randomly selected months shows that the mean number of days per month for which Los Angeles, CA fails to meet air-quality standards is 5.42 with a population standard deviation of .93 days per month. a) Find a 99% confidence interval for the mean number of days per month for which Los Angeles, CA fails to meet air-quality standards. Explain the meaning in the context of the problem. b) Find the minimum sample size needed to be 99% confident that the sample mean is within .07 days of the true mean number of days per month for which Los Angeles, CA fails to meet air-quality standards.

The health of employees is monitored by periodically weighing them. Asample of 54 employees has a mean weight of 184.1 lb. Assuming that thepopulation standard deviation is 122.3 lb, use a 0.10 significance level to test theclaim that the mean of all such employees weights is less than 200 lbs.
7) A tire manufacturer has been producing tires with an average life expectancy of 26,000 miles. Now the company is advertising that their new tires' life expectancy has increased. In order to test the legitimacy of their advertising campaign, an independent testing agency tested a sample of 85 of their tires. The agency found the mean of the 85 tires to be 27,000 miles and the standard deviation to be 3,970 miles. Use a 0.01 level of significance and test to determine whether the company is using legitimate advertising. (Show all seven steps.)
6. An automatic Coffee dispenser is advertised to pour u=16 oz of coffee with a standard deviation of o-0.1 oz. An unsatisfied customer wants to know if the automatic Coffee dispenser pours less than 16 oz on average. A random sample of n=49 cups of coffee is taken and is found to have a sample mean x = 15.96 oz. Use a a-5% level of significance to test if the population mean u is less than 16 oz. a) State the null and alternate hypothesis. b) Find the test statistic (either z or t). c) Find the p-value or sketch the critical region. d) State whether you will reject or fail to reject the null
27. In a random sample of six mobile devices, the mean repair cost was $65.00 and the standard deviation was $14.00. Assume the population is normally distributed and use a t-distribution to find the margin of error and construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. Interpret the results.
1- A researcher makes a research about the life time of batteries which have a normal distribution. In order to understand the life time of batteries s/he randomly selected 49 batteries and calculate the sample mean as 48 hours and standard deviation of 5 hours. Construct 90 % confidence interval for the true population mean of life time of batteries.
9) Steel rods are manufactured with a mean length of 25 centimeters (cm). Because of variability in the manufacturing process, the lengths of the rods are approximately normally distributed, with a standard deviation of 0.07 cm. What proportion of rods has a length less than 24.9 cm? b. C. d. 25 Any rods that are shorter than 24.85 cm or longer than 25.15 cm are discarded. What proportion of rods will be discarded? Using the results of part (b), if 5,000 rods are manufactured in a day, how many should the plant manager expect to discard? If an order comes in for 10,000 steel rods, how many rods should the plant manager manufacture if the order states that all rods must be between 24.9 cm and 25.1 cm?
