An article reported that for a sample of 44 kitchens with gas cooking appliances monitored during a one-week period, the sample mean CO2 level (ppm) was 654.16, and the sample standard deviation was 163.02. (b) Suppose the investigators had made a rough guess of 182 for the value of s before collecting data. What sample size would be necessary to obtain an interval width of 60 ppm for a confidence level of 95%? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)

Based on the following information, provide the appropriate answer. Assume alpha = 0.05. The yield of a chemical process is being studied. From previous experience with this process the standard deviation of yield is known to be 4%. The past 5 days of plant operation have resulted in the following yields: 92.1, 87.8, 91.3, 89.6, and 93.3%.a) Create a two-sided confidence interval for the true mean yield.b) Is there sufficient evidence to conclude the mean yield is not 90%?c) What sample size would be required to detect a true mean yield of 92% with probability 0.95?

The average gold content from an ore sample in 36 different locations is found to be 2.6 grams per ton. a. Find the 95% and 99% confidence intervals for the mean gold content in that area. Assume that the population variance is 0.09. b. How large a sample is required if we want to be 95% confident that our estimate of sample mean is off by less than 0.057? c. Compute a 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the gold content.
Zappos is an online retailer based in Nevada and employs 1,300 employees. One of their competitors, Amazon.com, would like to test the hypothesis that the average age of a Zappos employee is less than 36 years old. A random sample of 22 Zappos employees was found to have an average age of 33.9 years. The standard deviation for this sample was 4.1 years. Amazon would like to set α = 0.025. The correct hypothesis statement for this hypothesis test would be A) H0: μ = 33.9; H1: μ ≠ 33.9. B) H0: μ = 36; H1: μ ≠ 36. C) H0: μ ≤ 36; H1: μ > 36. D) H0: μ ≥ 36; H1: μ < 36.
Question 6 Karen wants to advertise how many chocolate chips are in each Big Chip cookie at her bakery. She randomly selects a sample of 41 cookies and finds that the number of chocolate chips per cookie in the sample has a mean of 14.3 and a standard deviation of 2.2. What is the 90% confidence interval for the number of chocolate chips per cookie for Big Chip cookies? Enter your answers accurate to one decimal place (because the sample statistics are reported accurate to one decimal place). Submit Question
Consider a small scale example, comparing how temperatures have changed in the US from 1968 to 2008. The daily high temperature reading on January 1 was collected in 1968 and 2008 for 51 randomly selected locations in the continental US. The locations are the same for both years. The difference between the two readings (temperature in 2008 - temperature in 1968) was calculated for each of the 51 different locations. The average of these 51 values was 1.24 degrees with a standard deviation of 4.25 degrees. We are interested in determining whether this provides strong evidence of temperature warming in the continental US. (Does the data provide evidence that the true mean temperature is greater in 2008 than in 1968?) Justify by using a confidence interval or a hypothesis test with α = 0.05. What type of error are you in danger of making?
Suppose the heights of a population of men are normally distributed with an unknown population mean and a population standard deviation of 2.4 inches. A random sample of men from the population produces a sample mean height of x ¯ =68.2 inches. What value of z should be used to calculate a confidence interval with a 90% confidence level? z 0.10 z 0.05 z 0.025 z 0.01 z 0.005 1.282 1.645 1.960 2.326 2.576

Hunter is writing a report on the backgrounds of American presidents. He finds that the mean age of the 45 presidents is 55 years with the standard deviation of 6.59 years. Because Hunter took a statistics course, he calculates a 95% confidence interval for the mean age of all men who have been president to be 55 ± 1.98. Comment on this result. Question 8 options: Hunter can be 95% confident that the mean age of all presidents is 55 years. 95% of all the ages of the presidents lie between 55 ± 1.98. Hunter should have taken a larger sample to reduce the margin of error. Hunter is 95% confident that the mean age of all presidents lies between 53.02 and 56.98 years. The confidence interval makes no sense since Hunter has the entire population of ages.
