A soft drink machine is regulated so that the amount of drink dispensed is approximately normally distributed with standard deviation equal to 1.3 deciliters. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean of all drinks dispensed by this machine if a random sample of 36 drinks had an average content of 24.5 deciliters.

A local health center noted that in a sample of 400 patients, the average sample age is 30 years with a population standard deviation of 4.4. Calculate the standard deviation of the sample mean of patients in the study. Provide a 95% confidence interval for the average age of all the patients who are referred to the health center by the hospital.
The manager of a warehouse store wants to estimate the average number of laser printer toner cartridges sold each day. A random sample of 37 days is selected and the sample mean is 115. The population standard deviation is estimated to be 9.8. Test the claim, using a 95% confidence interval for the mean, that the average number of laser printer toner cartridges sold each day is 110.
A random of 15 freshmen takers obtained a mean score of 74 and a variance of 9 on a SASE. Assuming the scores to be normally distributed, construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the variance of scores of the whole freshmen population.

Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of women
A car manufacture produces a new car that advertises an average of 30 MPG. The distribution of MPG of cars is normally distributed. The manufacturer will test 30 cars off the assembly line to find a confidence interval of the average MPG of their new vehicle to determine if it is close to 30. The average MPG of the 30 cars is 31.2 gallons with a standard deviation of 2 gallons. Find a 95% confidence interval for the average MPG of the new vehicle. (30.45, 31.95) (30.48, 31.92) O (31.18, 31.22) O The sample size is too small to compute a confidence interval.
Scores on a standarized exam are known to follow a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 5. A researcher finds a random sample of 25 exam scores has a mean score of 72. Use this to find a 88% confidence interval for the mean exam score of all students taking the exam.
A recent study of 28 randomly selected employees of a company showed that the mean ofdistance they traveled to work was 14.3 miles. The standard deviation of the sample was 2.0miles. Find the 95% confidence interval of the true mean.
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.
For a random sample of 64 overweight men, the mean of the number of pounds that they were overweight was 30. The standard deviation of the population is 4.2 pounds. (a) Find the best point estimate for the average number of excess pounds for all overweight men. (b) Construct a 95% confidence interval of the mean of these pounds.
A researcher collected sample data for 10 women ages 18 to 24. The sample had a mean serum cholesterol level (measured in mg/100 mL) of 188.4, with a standard deviation of 5.7. Assuming that serum cholesterol levels for women ages 18 to 24 are normally distributed, find a 99% confidence interval for the mean serum cholesterol level of all women in this age group. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 99% confidence interval.
A researcher collected data on a sample of 40 stores of a large retail chain, and for each store translate data to a conventional performance rating. The average performance rating among sample values is calculated to be 275. calculate an approxiate 95% confidence interval for the mean performance rating of all stories of the chain. Assume the standard deviation of performance ratings among all store in the chain is 90.
