The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have a standard deviation of 94 pounds. A random sample of 90 newly manufactured cables has a mean breaking strength of 1800 pounds. Based on this sample, find a 99% confidence interval for the true mean breaking strength of all cables produced by this manufacturer. Then give its lower limit and upper limit.

A researcher collected sample data for 14 women ages 18 to 24. The sample had a mean serum cholesterol level (measured in mg/100 mt) of 193, with a standard deviation of 7.5. Assuming that serum cholesterol levels for women ages 18 to 24 are normally distributed, find a 90% confidence interval for the man serum cholesterol level of all women in this age group. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decamal places. Round your answers to one deomal place.
The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have a standard deviation of 108 pounds. A random sample of 50 newly manufactured cables has a mean breaking strength of 1800 pounds. Based on this sample, find a 95 confidence interval for the true mean breaking strength of all cables produced by this manufacturer. Then give its lower limit and upper limit.

Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean test scores for all students at Airbender College. Also find the margin of error. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.
The length of a doohickey is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 8 inches. If a random sample of 16 doohickeys has an average length of 30 inches find a 96% confidence interval for the mean of the lengths of the doohickeys.
The lifetime of a certain brand of battery is known to have a standard deviation of 19.8 hours. Suppose that a random sample of 80 such batteries has a mean lifetime of 35.8 hours. Based on this sample, find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean lifetime of all batteries of this brand. Then give its lower limit and upper limit.
A city planner wants to estimate the average monthly residential water usage in the city. He selected a random sample of 42 households from the city, which gave the mean water usage to be 3409.30 gallons over a one-month period. Based on earlier data, the population standard deviation of the monthly residential water usage in this city is 387.90 gallons. Make a 97% confidence interval for the average monthly residential water usage for all households in this city.
A data set includes 106 body temperatures of healthy adult humans having a mean of 98.7°F and a standard deviation of 0.66°F. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans. What does the sample suggest about the use of 98.6°F as the mean body temperature?
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.
