Suppose it is desired to estimate the variance of the tensile strength of a particular type of thread. For 21 pieces of this type of thread, E (X; – Xave)² = 2000. Suppose also it is desired to build a two-sided 95% confidence level estimate for the true variance tensile strength. What tabled Chi-Square value should be used in arriving at its upper confidence limit?

It is known that the average yield per plant is 180 g and the variance is 250 g for a type of strawberry. 10 of this plant seed was grown in soils cultivated with a special method and average yield was observed to be 200 gr. Soil cultivation Test whether the method raises the yield average. (a = 0.05)
You wish to determine the average VO2max (maximum rate of oxygen consumption, often associated with athletic performance) of a sample of 100 Olympic athletes, and to use a quantitative metric to assess your confidence in the average (mean) value. You calculate a mean of 71 ml/kg/min and a variance of 26.06 from your sample. Question: What are the standard error of the mean (SEM) and the approximate 95% CI of the mean?
what do the mean deviation, variance and standard deviation all have in common? How is this helpful with the calculations of these variabvariables.

The electric cooperative needs to know the mean household usage of electricity by its non-commercial customers in kWh per day. They would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.14 kWh. A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 4.84 kWh and the mean is 19.1 kWh per day. If they are using a 80% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of electricity? Question 8 options: 45 households 1959 households 949 housholds 405 households
We want to estimate the mean distance travelled to work by employees of a large manufacturing firm. Past studies indicate that the variance of these distances is 4.0 km2and that the distances follow a normal distribution. How many employees should be chosen at random and polled if the estimated mean distance is to be within 0.1 km ofthe true mean with a confidence level of 95%?
Albumin is a liver protein that helps circulate vitamins throughout the body. Reduced Albumin has been associated with severe illness with Covid-19 patients. Suppose we wanted to conduct a study to compare the mean Albumin concentration (g/L) between a sample of adult patients hospitalized for Covid 19 (Sample Mean= 32.8, s=6.0) to the mean albumin concentration (g/L) of healthy adults (u=34.1, o=7.13).
