A cocoa packaging machine fills bags so that the bag contents have a standard deviation of 3.5 g. Weights of contents of bags are normally distributed. a) If a random sample of 20 bags gives a mean of 102.0 g, what are the 99% confidence limits for the mean weight of the population (i.e., all bags)? b) What sample size (how many bags) would have to be taken so that a person would be 95% confident that the population mean was not smaller than the sample mean minus I g?

Use the data and table below to test the indicated claim about the means of two populations. Assume that the two samples are independent simple randor samples selected from normally distributed populations. Do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Make sure you identify all values. An Exercise Science instructor at IVC was interested in comparing the resting pulse rates of students who exercise regularly and the pulse rates of those who de not exercise regularly. Independent simple random samples of 16 students who do not exercise regularly and 12 students who exercise regularly were selected and the resting pulse rates (in beats per minute) were recorded. The summary statistics are presented in the table below. Is there compelling statistical evidence that the mean resting pulse rate of people who do not exercise regularly is greater than the mean resting pulse rate of people who exercise regularly? Use a significance value of 0.05. Two-Sample T-Test Sample…
