Mrs. Gallas wanted to estimate the average weight of an Oreo cookie to determine if theaverage weight was less than advertised. She selected a random sample of 30 cookies andfound the weight of each cookie (in grams). The mean weight was = 11.1921 grams with astandard deviation of sx = 0.0817 grams. Make a 95% confidence interval to estimate the truemean weight of an Oreo. 1. What is the formula for calculating the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x? 2.What condition must be met to use this formula? Has it been met?
You have taken 12 observations from normally distributed data that is known to have a population standard deviation of 1. The sample mean is 31. Calculate the lower endpoint of a 95% confidence interval for the population mean to two decimal places. Question 4 Number
4. A medical statistician wants to estimate the average weight loss of people who are on a new diet plan. In a preliminary study, he guesses that the standard deviation of weight loss is about 10 pounds. How large a sample should he take to estimate the mean weight loss to within 2 pounds, with a 90% confidence.
A researcher is interested in studying the use of hypnosis to relieve pain. She took a random sample of 16 subjects and measured their sensory ratings. The mean of the sensory ratings was found to be 7.5 and standard deviation to be 2.3. It is known that the sensory ratings are normally distributed. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean sensory ratings of the population. a) (5.81, 9.19) b) (6.27, 8.73) c) (6.36, 8.64) d) (6.02, 8.98)
Tina catches a 14-pound bass. She does not know the population mean or standard deviation. So she takes a sample of five friends and they say the last bass they caught was 9, 12, 13, 10, and 10 pounds. Find the t and calculate a 95% (α = .05) confidence interval.
A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 613 grams and a standard deviation of 19 grams.If you pick 20 fruits at random, then 11% of the time, their mean weight will be greater than how many grams?Give your answer to the nearest gram.
A statistics class is estimating the mean height of all female students at their college. They collect a random sample of 42 female students and measure their heights. The mean of the sample is 65.3 inches and the sample standard deviation is 5.4 inches. Find the 90% confidence interval for the mean height of all female students in their school? Assume that the distribution of individual female heights at this school is approximately normal. 1. The t value is 1.3025 2. The standard error has a value of -- 3. The margin of error has a value of 4. Find the 90% confidence interval for the mean height of all female students in their school

This question applies to the next 3 MCQs. Wire wound resistors are being custom made for a Design House with a maximum specification of 305.70 ohms and a minimum specification of 304.55 ohms. If the resistance is higher it can be reworked, if lower they must be scrapped. The resistors manufactured follow a normal distribution with a mean of 305.2 ohms and a standard deviation of 0.25 ohms. What percentage of the resistors are scrap (approximately)? 5% 2% 0.1% 0.5% 1%
