Given a random sample of the amount of protein (in gram) in one bag of snack food: 0.95, 0.85, 0.92, 0.95, 0.93, 0.86, 1, 0.92, 0.85, 0.81, 0.78, 0.93, 0.93, 1.05, 0.93, 1.06, 1.06, 0.96, 0.81, 0.96 Here, it is assumed that the amount of protein in the snack is normal. How would I calculate a 98% two-sided confidence interval for the average amount of protein in one bag?

Given a 95% C.I. = (34.14 mm, 36.02 mm) for a sample of Wooly Bear caterpillar lengths (preceding problem), address the following. Based upon the above information, I am _____ % confident that the 95% C.I. contains the sample mean.
A random sample of soil specimens was obtained, and the amount of organic matter (%) in the soil was determined for each specimen, resulting in the accompanying data. 1.18 5.09 0.97 1.59 4.60 0.32 0.55 1.45 0.17 4.47 1.20 3.50 5.02 4.67 5.22 2.69 3.92 3.17 3.03 2.21 0.69 4.47 3.31 1.17 0.70 1.17 1.57 2.62 1.66 2.05 The values of the sample mean, sample standard deviation, and (estimated) standard error of the mean are 2.481, 1.612, and 0.294, respectively. Does this data suggest that the true average percentage of organic matter in such soil is something other than 3%? Carry out a test of the appropriate hypotheses at significance level 0.10.

A farm grows normally distributed potatoes and is testing a new crop. After 4 months, 20 plants produce potatoes with the following weights (in kg):7, 1.4, 1.4, 1.3, 0.3, 1.4, 0.6, 1.3, 1.3, 1.1, 0.9, 1.5, 1.1, 1.5, 0.6, 1.4, 1.1, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8 a) Find out the mean and standard deviation of the sample.
A blood pressure measurement consists of two numbers: the systolic pressure, which is the maximum pressure taken when the heart is contracting, and the diastolic pressure, which is the minimum pressure taken at the beginning of the heartbeat. Blood pressures were measured, in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), for a sample of 14 adults. The following table presents the results. Assume that blood pressures follow a bivariate nomal distrībution. Systolic Diastolic 134 87 115 83 113 77 123 77 119 69 118 88 130 76 70 91 116 133 112 75 107 71 110 74 108 69 105 66 Find a 95% confidence interval for p, the correlation between systolic and diastolic blood pressure. b. Can you conclude that p> 0.5? C. Can you conclude that p> 0?

Phosphorous is a chemical that is found in many household cleaning products. Unfortunately, phosphorous also finds its way into surface water, where it can harm fish, plants, and other wildlife. Two methods of phosphorous reduction are being studied. At a random sample of 7 locations, both methods were used and the total phosphorous reduction (mg/L) was recorded. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value a small amount and thereby produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. Things that are labelled i underneath a b c, etc are all part of that part.
