Health Care Knowledge Systems reported that an insured woman spends on average 2.3 days in the hospital for routine childbirth, while an uninsured woman spends on average 1.9 days. Assume two random samples of 16 women each were used in both samples. The population standard deviation of insured women is equal to 0.6 day, and the population standard deviation of uninsured women is 0.3 day. Find the 99% confidence interval for the differences of the means.

In a recent year, a sample of the South American Redeye Piranha was collected by fishermen on a particular river. Wildlife biologists regard this sample as a random sample of all Redeye Piranha in that river. The mean length of the 60 fish in the sample was 12.88 cm, and a 99% confidence level for the true mean length of all Redeye Piranha in that river is 12.09 cm to 13.67 cm. Explain what would happen to the length of the interval if the confidence level were decreased to 95%.
According to a study of 90 truckers, a trucker drives, on average, 560 miles per day. If the standard deviation of the miles driven per day for the population of truckers is 40, find the 95% confidence interval of the mean number of miles driven per day by all truckers.
The gas mileage for a certain model of car is known to have a standard deviation of 6 mi/gallon. A simple random sample of 36 cars of this model is chosen and found to have a mean gas mileage of 28.4 mi/gallon. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean gas mileage for this car model.
The ages of registered voters in Smith County are normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 3 years and an unknown population mean. A random sample of 18 voters is taken and results in a sample mean of 55 years.

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.
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
Researchers from a certain country were interested in how characteristics of the spleen of residents in their tropical environment compare to those found elsewhere in the world. The researchers randomly sampled 91 males and 109 females in their country. The mean and standard deviation of the spleen lengths for the males were 10.9 cm and 0.9 cm, respectively, and those for the females were 9.8 cm and 1.1 cm, respectively. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the difference between mean spleen lengths of males and females in this country. Click here to view page 1 of the table of critical values of t. Click here to view page 2 of the table of critical values of t. Let population 1 be all males in the country and let population 2 be all females in the country. The 95% confidence interval for µ1 - 4½ is ( | D (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.)
A study of 22 goats reveals that the average length of a goat’s tail is 6.3 inches. If the standarddeviation is known to be 1.2 inches find a 95% confidence interval for the mean tail length.
A researcher collected data on a sample of 40 stores of a large retail chain, and for each store translate data to a conventional performance rating. The average performance rating among sample values is calculated to be 275. calculate an approxiate 95% confidence interval for the mean performance rating of all stories of the chain. Assume the standard deviation of performance ratings among all store in the chain is 90.
