An NRE graduate works for OFIC (Oman Food Investment Company) to test the content of vitamin C in the orange juice they are recently developing. He reported that true average content of vitamin C in the orange juice is between 11.7 to 12.3 ounces at 95% confidence level. Also, based on his sample, his report shows that the average content of vitamin C in the orange juice is 12 ounces. The report does not show the size of the sample used. Please find the sample size of the sample assuming the standard deviation of the population is 1.28.

Apple Computer believed that 36 percent of its smartphone customer own the most recent model of iPhone (Ho). To test this hypothesis, it gathered customer data using a CRM software. The results indicated that only 30 percent of the iPhone users owned iPhone 11, the most recent model. Assume that this percentage value was based on a sample of 300 users. Test its hypothesis using 95% confidence level.
A poll was conducted to determine the popularity of a 3D game creation software that was targeted to be launched in three months. Online interviews with 1200 young adults were conducted which revealed that 45% said they would purchase the new software. The margin of error was ±3 percentage points. What is the needed sample size to obtain a 96% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of the targeted young adults who will purchase the new software by allowing the same level of margin of error?
Suppose an insurance company randomly surveyed 633 drivers and found that 601 claimed they always buckled up. Construct a 94% confidence interval for the fraction of all drivers who buckle up. p' = NR dje = Margin of Error: E = We are 94% confident that the fraction of drivers who always buckle up is between and
In a random sample of 470 homeowners selected from a large suburban area, 30% indicated that they have serious problems with exessive noise from their neighbors. Estimate with 97% confidence the proportion of all homeowners in that suburban area who have this problem. (Give the confidence interval in percentages.)
Your company sources motors from two suppliers: supplier A and supplier B. Your application requiresvery high maximum torque. You wish to know if there is a significant difference in maximum torque forthe motors from supplier A vs. supplier B. You sample 10 motors from each supplier and measure themaximum torque. The sample means and sample standard deviations are shown the following table. Is there evidence to conclude that one supplier is better than the other at a 95% confidence level?
A flower shop owner wants to estimate the proportion of people who enter the store that make a purchase. They want a 95% confidence interval on the proportion of people who enter the store that make a purchase with a margin for error of 0.04 or 4%. Their partner estimates that 20% (a proportion of 0.2) of the people who enter the store make a purchase so the owner will use that value when determining the sample size. What sample size should the flower shop take?
There are many products that on their label, establish a content of the packaging. Select a brand of cleaning detergent (for example ACE or Tide). In their label, they establish a weight of the amount of detergent in each box. Choose a sample of 8 boxes from the selected company and weight the 8 samples on a scale. Collect this information and build a hypothesis test, a confidence interval, a P – value and size of sample (n) by comparing the average weight of the samples with the one on the box label. It determines, through the hypothesis test, if there is any difference in the average weight of the sample boxes with the one that appears in the box. Use an alpha for this 0.01 test. What is your conclusion?
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.
Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean of city mileage (MPG) of all cars with a manual transmission. Assume that MPG of cars with a manual transmission follows a normal distribution. Also, provide an interpretation of the confidence interval in context.

Kmart decided to inventory all of its furniture stock for a year end evaluation. At that time there were 768 items of furniture. A random sample of 40 items of furniture were selected for audit, with sample mean=$249.06 and SD=$92.58. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the total value of furniture stock for year end.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission regulates products sold for use with children. An investigator is tasked with determining whether a male child will get sick after being exposed to a certain brand of house paint than a female child. Data was collected that on 1854 children between the ages one and four, all of whom were exposed to the same brand of house paint. 985 were boys, while 869 were girls. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions of male and female children, ages one to four, who will get sick. Round to four decimal places.With % confidence, it can be concluded that the difference in proportions of between male and female children, ages one to four, who get sick after being exposed to this brand of house paint is (p1 - p2) is between BLANK and BLANK .
