9.12 A random sample of 10 chocolate energy bars of a certain brand has, on average, 230 calories per bar, with a standard deviation of 15 calories. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the true mean calorie con- tent of this brand of energy bar. Assume that the dis- tribution of the calorie content is approximately nor- mal.

A random sample of 10 chocolate energy bars of a certain brand has, on average, 225 calories per bar, with a standard deviation of 25 calories. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the true mean calories content of this energy bar. Assume that the distribution of the calorie content is approximately normal.
Suppose the mean height in inches of all 9th grade students at one high school is estimated. The population standard deviation is 4 inches. The heights of 6 randomly selected students are 69, 62, 68, 64, 61 and 68. x¯ = Margin of error at 99% confidence level = 99% confidence interval = [ , ]

In a random sample of 750 toner cartridges, the mean number of a toner cartridge can print is 4302 and the standard deviation is 340. Assume the distribution of data is normally distributed The company that makes the toner cartridges guarantees to replace any cartridge that prints fewer than 3282. Approximately how many of the cartridges in the sample would you expect to be replaced under the guarantee policy?
The salaries of professional baseball players are heavily skewed right with a mean of $3.2 million and a standard deviation of $2 million. The salaries of professional football players are also heavily skewed right with a mean of $1.9 million and a standard deviation of $1.5 million. A random sample of 40 baseball players' salaries and 35 football players' salaries is selected. The mean salary is determined for both samples. Let -, represent the difference in the mean salaries for baseball and football players. Which of the following represents the shape of the sampling distribution for ,-7,? skewed right since the populations are both right skewed skewed right since the differences in salaries cannot be negative approximately Normal since both sample sizes are greater than 30 approximately Normal since the sum of the sample sizes is greater than 30
In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 45 subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before−after)in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 4.6 and a standard deviation of 16.3. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment. What does the confidence interval suggest about the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL cholesterol? What is the confidence interval estimate of the population mean μ? ______ mg/dL<μ<_____ mg/dL (Round to two decimal places as needed.) What does the confidence interval suggest about the effectiveness of the treatment? A. The confidence interval limits contain 0, suggesting that the garlic treatment did not affect the LDL cholesterol levels. B. The confidence interval limits contain 0, suggesting that the garlic treatment…
