A random sample of 100 4-oz packs of roasted peanuts yields an average weight of 3.91 oz. Assume that the s.d. of this brand of 4-oz packs of roasted peanuts is 0.35 oz. Does this sampling result suggest that the overall average weight of this brand of 4-oz packs of roasted peanuts is below 4 oz? Use an appropriate p-value to draw and explain your conclusions

(3-B is needed to answer it I am only asking for question 4.) 3) You go out and collect the following estimates of earthworms / acre:54,276 57,378 51,108 66,190 66,232 59,018 57,159These data yield the following: ̄y = 59,765.86, and s = 5,689.606a) Construct a 90% CI for these data.b) Construct a 99% CI for these data.c) Darwin once estimated that an acre of soil had about 50,000 worms in it. Is his estimateconsistent with the data above? (Historical note: His estimate was considered way too high inhis day). 4) Consider the results of 3(b). Notice that all the data fit within the 99% confidence interval. Is thisusually the case (in other words, will a 99% CI contain most of the observations)?Caution: a lot of people get this wrong! Here's a hint: suppose you had measured the worms in6000 acres (instead of just 7). What happens to the confidence interval? If you're not sure,substitute 6,000 for 7 in your calculation for (b) to see what happens.
A survey of the opinions of property owners about a street widening project was taken to determine whether the resulting opinion was related to the distance of front footage.

Please help me in answering the following practice question:Given a random sample of the amount of protein (in gram) in one bag of snack food: 0.95, 0.85, 0.92, 0.95, 0.93, 0.86, 1, 0.92, 0.85, 0.81, 0.78, 0.93, 0.93, 1.05, 0.93, 1.06, 1.06, 0.96, 0.81, 0.96 Here, it is assumed that the amount of protein in the snack is normal. How would I calculate a 98% two-sided confidence interval for the average amount of protein in one bag?Thank you for your help in advance!

It costs more to produce defective items—since they must be scrapped or reworked—than it does to produce non-defective items. This simple fact suggests that manufacturers should ensure the quality of their products by perfecting their production processes instead of depending on inspection of finished products (Deming, 1986). In order to better understand a particular metal stamping process, a manufacturer wishes to estimate the mean length of items produced by the process during the past 24 hours. a. How many parts should be sampled in order to estimate the population mean to within .2 millimeter (mm) with 95% confidence? Previous studies of this machine have indicated that the standard deviation of lengths produced by the stamping operation is about 2 mm. b. Time permits the use of a sample size no larger than 225. If a 95% confidence interval for m is constructed with n = 225, will it be wider or narrower than would have been obtained using the sample size determined in part a?…
