Suppose that it is known that the population standard deviation of recovery time from the flu is 1.8 days when treated with multivitamins and that the population standard deviation of recovery time from the flu is 1.5 days when treated with vitamin C tablets. Suppose also that both populations are approximately normally distributed. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference u, -u, between the mean recovery time when treated with multivitamins (u,) and the mean recovery time when treated with vitamin C only (u,). Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interv

Modern laser equipment has been used to measure the distance between two points. Each measurement value can be seen as an observation of a normally distributed variable X, with the real distance UX as expected value and standard deviation OX=2.87. After collecting n=18 independent measurements have calculated that the average value is X = 3016 A student finds the upper and lower bounds of a 90% confidence interval for the real distance UX. Upper = 3017.1 Lower = 3014.9 How many observations do we need to get the length of the confidence interval down to 1.0 meters?
A researcher collected sample data for 10 middle-aged women.

To monitor complex chemical processes, chemical engineers will consider key process indicators, which may be just yield but most often depend on several quantities. Before trying to improve a process, 9 measurements were made on a key performance indicator. 123, 106, 114, 128, 113, 109, 120, 102, 111. Assume that the key performance indicator has a normal distribution. (a) Find the sample variance s? of the sample. (b) Find a 95% confidence interval for o?. (c) Find a 98% confidence interval for o.

A laundry detergent company manufactures detergent bars is particularly concerned that the mean weight of the detergent bar not exceed 6.03 ounces. Past experience allows the researcher to assume that the standard deviation is 0.02 ounce. A sample of 50 laundry detergent bars is selected and the sample mean is 6.034 ounces. Using the α = 0.01 level of significance, is there evidence that the population mean weight of the laundry detergent bars is greater than 6.03 ounces? 1. What are the hypotheses?2. What is the critical value of the test statistic?3. What is the standardized test statistic?4. What is the decision rule of the hypothesis test?
The average heights of a random sample of 400 people from a city is 1.75 m. It is known that the heights of the population are random variables that follow a normal distribution with a variance of 0.16. Determine the interval of 95% confidence for the average heights of the population. With a confidence level of 90%, what would the minimum sample size need to be in order for the true mean of the heights to be less than 2 cm from the sample mean?
