A factory in Louisville, Kentucky, produces baseball bats. The diameter of the bat should be 9 cm. Out of 371 samples, the sample mean is 8.85 cm with a sample standard deviation of 0.55 cm. Give a 85% confidence interval for the mean diameter (i.e., the lower and upper bound of the confidence interval). number (rtol=0.01, atol=0.0001) Lyb number (rtol=0.01, atol=0.0001) The manager wants to know the 99% confidence interval to be within at most +/- 0.05 cm. How many samples would you (as the junior engineer) need to take to satisfy the manager's desire for precision? number (rtol=0.01, atol=0.0001)

A patient with suspected high blood pressure measures his bloodpressure using an automated test at a pharmacy every day for 30 days.The results of the blood pressure samples reveal a sample meansystolic blood pressure of 128.3mmHg.If it is known that the standard deviation between systolic bloodpressure measurements for the average person is 15.2mmHg, calculatethe margin of error and construct the 95% confidence interval for thepopulation mean systolic blood pressure for this patient.
A city planner wants to estimate the average monthly residential water usage in the city. He selected a random sample of 42 households from the city, which gave the mean water usage to be 3409.30 gallons over a one-month period. Based on earlier data, the population standard deviation of the monthly residential water usage in this city is 387.90 gallons. Make a 97% confidence interval for the average monthly residential water usage for all households in this city.

The level of lead in the blood was determined for a sample of 152 male hazardous-waste workers age 20-30 and also for a sample of 86 female workers, resulting in a mean + standard error of 5.3 ± 0.3 for the men and 3.6 t 0.2 for the women. Calculate an estimate of the difference between true average blood lead levels for male and female workers in a way that provides information about reliability and precision. (Use a 95% confidence interval. Round your answers to two decimal places.) Interpret the interval. O we are 95% confident that the true average blood lead level for male workers is less than that of female workers by an amount within the confidence interval. O we are 95% confident that the true average blood lead level for male workers is greater than that of female workers by an amount outside the confidence interval. O we cannot draw a conclusion from the given information. O we are 95% confident that the true average blood lead level for male workers is greater than that of…
A researcher collected sample data for 15 middle-aged women. The sample had a mean serum cholesterol level (measured in milligrams per one hundred milliliters) of 192.7, with a standard deviation of 6. Assuming that serum cholesterol levels for middle-aged women are normally distributed, find a 99% confidence interval for the mean serum cholesterol level of all women in this age group. Give the lower limit and upper limit of the 99% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) Lower limit: Upper limit: X Ś
