Peter, a eacher in a college, randomly his class to complete an assigned task, the sample mean completion time is found. Using this x, Peter found that the 95% confidence interval for the true average time in completing the task is (17.278, 28.722) minutes. Peter thinks that this interval is too wide, that means the speed of students doing an in-class exercise has to be improved. Therefore, he thinks a confidence interval of total width 5 minutes will be more desirable. (Hints: width of C.I. = upper limit minus lower limit) (a) Using the same value of x, find the new confidence interval in this case. (b) Find the confidence level for the interval in part (a).

A 90% confidence interval for the mean of airline reservations being canceled on the day of the flight is between 2.68 and 9.42 reservations. What is the point estimate of the mean of reservations that are canceled on the day of the flight?
A laboratory tested twelve chicken eggs and found that the mean amount of cholesterol was 246 milligrams with s = 11.7 milligrams. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean cholesterol content of all such eggs. (238.6, 258.5) (235.5, 258.5) (238.6, 253.4) (238.5, 251.1) (239.9, 252.1)
A random sample of prices of petrol per litre (in p per litre) from UK filling stations was taken during November 2021. Based on these data, a 95% confidence interval for the mean price of petrol per litre (in p per litre) was found to be (131.42, 142.22). Given that 1 litre is equivalent to 0.22 gallons calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean price of petrol from UK filling stations in p per gallon. Explain your reasoning.

A child psychologist wanted to determine if the babies responded to their mothers voice when they could not see them. She measured the total time the babies actively sucked their pacifiers while listening to their mothers' voices without seeing them for 10 minutes. She ran this test on 12 babies and found the average time was 4.8 minutes with a standard deviation of 1.1 minutes. What one is the correct 90% confidence interval for the average amount of time the babies sucked their pacifiers that can be obtained from this data? (Assume that the times are approximately Normally distributed)A. (4.230, 5.370)B. (4.178, 5.422)C. (4.278, 5.322)D. (4.101, 5.499)

The mileage a car got on 5 trips from Greenwood to Greenville was used to create a 90% confidence interval for the true mean mileage of such trips. The 90% confidence interval is (32.32, 38.32). Explain in a sentence what this confidence interval says about the car's gas mileage (in miles per gallon).
