The data below are yields for two different types of com seed that were used on adjacent plots of land. Assume that the data are simple random samples and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between type 1 and type 2 yields. What does the confidence interval suggest about farmer Joe's claim that type 1 seed is better than type 2 seed?

Your company produces cell phones and you need to determine the typical time for your phones to recharge. The research department takes a random sample of 50 phones and calculates the sample average time to recharge the phones to be 97 minutes and the sample standard deviations to be 20 minutes. a. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for u, the mean time for a phone to recharge, and interpret it in words. The z-critical value for this interval is za = Zo.os = Zo025 = 1.96. 2 b. Intrepret the confidence interval in words. c. The vice president of research asserts that the mean time to recharge a phone is 90 minutes. Do you agree with this? Explain how you know. d. Suppose your company needs a narrower confidence interval, so it can target marketing strategies more precisely. Calculate the sample size necessary to obtain a confidence interval with width 2 minutes.
The burning rates of two different solid-fuel propellants used in aircrew escape systems are being studied. It is known that both propellants have approximately the same standard deviation of burning rate; that is, a₁ = ₂ =3 cm/s. From a random sample of size n₁ = 20 and n₂ = 20, we obtain₁ = 18.02 cm/s and ₂ = 24.31 cm/s. Construct a 95% confidence interval on the difference in means μ₁ - 1₂. Round your answers to 3 decimal places (e.g. 98.765). What is the upper bound of the two-sided confidence interval?

Your company sources motors from two suppliers: supplier A and supplier B. Your application requiresvery high maximum torque. You wish to know if there is a significant difference in maximum torque forthe motors from supplier A vs. supplier B. You sample 10 motors from each supplier and measure themaximum torque. The sample means and sample standard deviations are shown the following table. Is there evidence to conclude that one supplier is better than the other at a 95% confidence level?
Two population means are being compared. A sample from population 1 yields data: {105.1, 123.7, 112.5, 107.9, 132.1}. A sample from the population 2 yields data: {125.1, 131.2, 138.9}. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in means, mean of population 2 minus mean of population 1: -Hi• Assume each population is normally distributed. Use the Welch-Saterthwaite t-distribution degrees of freedom. Enter the upper (right) endpoint for the confidence interval.
The ages of registered voters in Smith County are normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 3 years and an unknown population mean.

You work for a company that produces electronics with integrated circuits. One of your products is called a "shift register." This product is designed to automatically shut down if its operating temperature exceeds 175 degrees Celsius. The manufacturing process has been designed to have a standard deviation of o = 0.4 degrees Celsius. You test a random sample 16 shift registers, and you record the following shut- down temperatures. Construct a 80% confidence interval for the overall mean shutdown-temperature. 174.99 174.76 174.99 174.61 174.86 174.41 175.54 174.13 174.96 174.78 174.84 174.67 174.87 175.52 174.88 175.35 (Checksum: 2798.16) a) Find the critical value and ₂.

An important problem in industry is shipment damage. A windshield factory ships its product by truck and determines that it cannot meet its profit expectations if, on average, the number of damaged items per truckload is greater than 12. A random sample of 12 departing truckloads is selected at the delivery point and the average number of damaged items per truckload is calculated to be 11.3 with a calculated sample of variance of 0.49. Select a 99% confidence interval for the true mean of damaged items.
