An online used car company sells second-hand cars. For 30 randomly selected transactions, the mean price is 2700 dollars. Part a) Assuming a population standard deviation transaction prices of 110 dollars, obtain a 99% confidence interval for the mean price of all transactions. Confidence interval: Part b) Which of the following is the correct interpretation for your answer in part (a)? O A. We can be 99% confident that the mean price for this sample of 30 transactions lies in the interval OB. If we repeat the study many times, 99% of the calculated confidence intervals will contain the mean price of all transactions. O C. There is a 99% chance that the mean price of all transactions lies in the interval O D. None of the above

23 Oman Insurance company took a random sample of 91 insurance claims paid out during a 1-year period. The resulting 95% confidence interval for the mean claim payment was (496 Dhs, 2,166 Dhs). Find the sample mean used when computing the interval. Round your answer to one decimal place.
1a) Work Time Lost due to Accidents At a large company, the Director of Research found that the average work time lost by employees due to accidents was 97 hours per year. She used a random sample of 22 employees. The standard deviation of the sample was 5.8 hours. Estimate the population mean for the number of hours lost due to accidents for the company, using a 90% confidence interval. Assume the variable is normally distributed. Use a graphing calculator and round the answers to the nearest whole number. ___ < μ < ___ 1b) Hospital Noise Levels For a sample of 26 operating rooms taken in a hospital study, the mean noise level was 43.9 decibels, and the standard deviation was 8.9. Find the 97% confidence interval of the true mean of the noise levels in the operating rooms. Assume the variable is normally distributed.

1. A company surveyed its employees to determine what the new daily meal allotment dollar amount should be. Of the 159 employees, 94 responded. Pat’s supervisor asked what the recommended dollar amount should be. Pat could take the mean of the 94 responses or calculate a confidence interval about the mean using those 94 responses. Which action of the two (don’t go outside these choices) would give the supervisor a better idea of what the true mean is, and why?

2. University researchers claim that the average enrollment at four-year colleges is higher than two-year community colleges. Two surveys are undertaken at 35 four-year universities and 35 two-year colleges. The mean enrollment at the four-year institutions was 5,466 with a standard deviation of 8,191. The average enrollment at the two-year schools was 5,068 with a standard deviation of 4,777. Using a 95% confidence level, are the findings of the surveys consistent with the university researchers’ claim? 2. Does the null hypothesis reject H0 or fail to reject H0?
