Suppose it is known from experience that the standard deviation of the weight of 10-ounce packages of cookies is 0.20 ounces. To check whether the actual average is, on a given day, 10 ounces, employees select a random sample of 36 packages and find that their mean weight is 9.45 ounces. Provide a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean weight.

A sample size of 100 from a population having a standard deviation =8 produced a mean of 40. The 99% confidence interval for the population mean (rounded to two decimals) is:
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) includes a mathematical test for eighth-grade students. Scores on the test range from 0 to 500. Suppose that you give the NAEP test to an SRS of 2500 eighth-graders from a large population in which the scores have mean u = 282 and standard deviation o = 110. The mean x will vary if you take repeated samples. Suppose that we computed a 90% confidence interval for u. Which is true? This 90% confidence interval could have either a smaller or a larger margin of error than the 95% confidence interval. This varies from sample to sample. This 90% confidence interval would have a smaller margin of error than the 95% confidence interval. This 90% confidence interval would have a larger margin of error than the 95% confidence interval. This 90% confidence interval would have the margin of error as the 95% confidence interval.
The standard deviation, S, for the annual medical cost of 24 households was found to equal $1689 find a 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the annual medical cost for all households. Assume medical costs are normally distributed.
In a random sample of 17 people, the mean commute time to work was 30.2 minutes and the standard deviation was 7.1 minutes. Assume the population is normally distributed and use a t- distribution to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean y. What is the margin of error of y? Interpret the results.
Assume that a sample is used to estimate a population mean. Find the 90% confidence interval for a smaple of size 46 with a mean of 68.5 and a standard deviation of 6.6. Enter the answer as an open-interval (parentheses) accurate to one decimal place (because the sample statistics are reported accurate to one decimal place).
Work Time Lost due to Accidents At a large company, the Director of Research found that the average work time lost by employees due to accidents was 102 hours per year. She used a random sample of 21 employees. The standard deviation of the sample was 5.4 hours. Estimate the population mean for the number of hours lost due to accidents for the company, using a 99% confidence interval. Assume the variable is normally distributed. Use a graphing calculator and round the answers to the nearest whole number.
A professor wants to estimate how many hours per week her students study. A simple random sample of 72 students had a mean of 19 hours of studying per week. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of hours a student studies per week. Assume that the population standard deviation is known to be 2.1 hours per week. Round to two decimal places.
Do AP Statistics students have higher GPA's than non AP Statistics students? Random samples of 20 AP Statistics students and 20 non AP Statistic students were taken. AP Statistics students had a mean GPA of 3.335 with a standard deviation of 0.557. Non AP Statistics students had a mean GPA of 3.04 with a standard deviation of 0.685. Assume the distribution of all AP Statistics scores are normally distributed. Use a 95% confidence interval for the true difference in average GPAS for AP Statistics and non AP Statistics students to determine if one group has a higher GPA than the other.
Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean, μ . Assume the population has a normal distribution. A sample of 15 randomly selected students has a grade point average of 2.81 with a standard deviation of 0.63 .
A researcher collected sample data for 10 women ages 18 to 24. The sample had a mean serum cholesterol level (measured in mg/100 mL) of 188.4, with a standard deviation of 5.7. Assuming that serum cholesterol levels for women ages 18 to 24 are normally distributed, find a 99% confidence interval for the mean serum cholesterol level of all women in this age group. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 99% confidence interval.
