Based on interviews with 81 SARS patients, researchers found that the mean incubation period was 4.6 days, with a standard deviation of 15.1 days. Based on this information, construd a 95% confidence interval for the mean incubation period of the SARS virus. Interpret the interval. The lower bound is 1.26 days. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) The upper bound is days. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

A study is conducted to find the mean life of a certain manufacturer's car batteries. A random sample of 34 batteries is selected and a mean of 47.5 months with a standard deviation of 7.3 months is found. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean battery life.
A random sample of 30 strawberry fields gave a mean yield of 80 bushels per acre. From previous studies, it has been determined that the population standard deviation is 4.1 bushels per acre. Based on this, construct a 90% confidence interval for the true population mean yieid. Give your answers as decimals, rounded to two places.
The length of trout caught from a certain lake has a standard deviation of 1.8 inches. How many fish would you have to catch to calculate a 95% confidence interval estimate of the average length of the fish with a margin of error of 0.76 inches?
The newest model of a car battery from a popular brand is supposed to have a lifetime of 60 months, but the lifetime varies slightly from battery to battery. It is known that the population of all lifetimes (in months) of this model of car battery is approximately normally distributed. You are a product reviewer who wants to estimate the standard deviation for this population with a random sample of 22 car batteries. Follow the steps below to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population standard deviation of all lifetimes of this model of car battery. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

An agricultural researcher plants 14 plots with a new variety of corn. The average yield for these plots is X = 155 bushels per acre. Assume that the yield per acre for new variety of corn follows a normal distribution with unknown mean and a calculated sample standard deviation s = 10 bushels. A 90% confidence interval for the unknown mean is
