QUESTION 24In a sample of 25 water specimens taken from a construction site, five contained detectable levels of lead. What is the 99% confidence interval forthe proportion of water specimens that contain detectable levels of lead?(0.0684, 0.3316)(0, 0.4061)(0.0432, 0.3568)Can't calculate the confidence interval

given data, n=25x= detectable levels of lead =5p^=xn=525=0.20CI:- 0.99α=1-0.99=0.01

Answered: In a sample of 25 water specimens taken…

The viscosity of a liquid detergent is supposed to average 800 centistokes at 25°C. A random sample of 16 batches of detergent is collected, and the average viscosity is 812. Suppose we know that the standard deviation of viscosity is σ = 25 centistokes. (a) What is the P-value for the test? (b) Find a 95 percent confidence interval on the mean.
The answer is not 8.2845704 or 1.6488
One method for measuring air pollution is to measure the concentration of carbon monoxide, or CO, in the air. Suppose Nina, an environmental scientist, wishes to estimate the CO concentration in Zagreb, Croatia. She randomly selects 45 locations throughout the city measures the CO concentration at each location. Based on her 45 samples, she computes the margin of error for a 95% t-confidence interval for the mean concentration of CO in Zagreb, in µg/m³, to be 4.28. What would happen to the margin of error if Nina decreases the confidence level to 90%? Nina increases the confidence level to 99%? Nina decreases the sample size to 33 locations? Nina increases the sample size to 65 locations? Answer Bank Increase Stay the same Decrease
Let X equal the length of life of a 60-watt light bulb marketed by a certain manufacturer. We do not know the distribution of X except that Var(X) = 1158. Let u be the mean of X. Suppose a random sample of n = 25 bulbs is tested until they burn out, yielding a sample mean of = 1368 hours. (i) Compute an approximate 95% confidence interval for u. (ii) Compute an approximate 95% one-sided confidence interval for that provides a lower bound for u, i.e. compute & such that ɛ P(X - ≤ μµ)≈ 0.95.
