A study was conducted for an aviation safety agency in which they surveyed thousands of passengers at airports across Europe. In this study, the "mass" for a passenger includes the weight of the passenger and all of the passenger's carry-on items, including infants without their own seats. For the 5,904 adult male passengers measured in summer, the sample mean and standard deviation for this mass were 88.8 kg and 15.9 kg, respectively. (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval (in kilograms) for the population mean mass for adult male passengers in summer. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) ___to__ kg (b) Write a sentence or two interpreting the confidence interval you found in part (a). With 95% confidence, we can estimate that the population mean mass of male passengers traveling in the summer is contained within the interval. We can estimate that 95% of the male passengers traveling in the summer in the sample have a mass that is contained within the interval.…

The mayor is interested in finding a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of pounds of trash per person per week that is generated in the city. The study included 185 residents whose mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week was 34.3 pounds and the standard deviation was 6.4 pounds. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible. a. With 90% confidence the population mean number of pounds per person per week is between and pounds. b. If many groups of 185 randomly selected members are studied, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week and about percent will not contain the true population mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week.
