A quality control expert at a pretzel factory took a random sample of 10 bags from a production run of over 500 bags and measured the amount of pretzels in each bag in the sample. The sample data were roughly symmetric with a mean of 450 g and a standard deviation of 15 g. Based on this sample, which of the following is a 90% confidence interval for the mean amount of pretzels per bag (in grams) in this production run?

To compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 40 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.9 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 44 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.6 feet. At a = 0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles?

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%
We want to test whether the mean fluoride levels in water fountains is worse in A or B. In order to test, a sample of 49 different water samples was taken from A and a sample was taken from 36 samples in B. A has a sample average of 2.3 micrograms of fluroide per deciliter of water and B has a sample average of 1.4 micrograms per deciliter of water. Further, A has a known standard deviation A=1.5 and B has a known standard deviation B=1.7. Find the p-value for the following hypothesis test: H0: uA-uB=0 vs Ha: uA-uB>0.
