The head of the Philippine University (PU) observes a decline on the alcoholic expenditures of leamers from a monthly expenditure of Php 350 pesos in the previous year. To check on this, he randomly selected 10 PU learners who drink alcoholic beverages and asked the amount, in pesos, that they usually spend on alcoholic beverages in a month. It is known that the usual amount spent on alcoholic beverages by learners who drink alcoholic beverages follows the normal distribution with standard deviation of Php 10. The data collected are: 400, 235, 200, 250, 200, 300, 500, 430, 420, and 220. 1. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the true mean amount spent by the learners on alcoholic beverages. 2. Find a 90% confidence interval for the true mean amount spent by the learners on alcoholic beverages. 3. Calculate the widths of the confidence intervals in (a) and (b). How was the width of the confidence interval affected by the decrease in the confidence coefficient holding the other factors constant? 4. How many leamers must be sampled in order to be 99% confident that the estimated mean amount spent on alcoholic beverages will be within Php 2.00 of the true mean?

Suppose that the quarterly sales levels among health care information systems companies are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 12 million dollars and a standard deviation of 1.3 million dollars. One health care information systems company considers a quarter a "failure" if its sales level that quarter is in the bottom 20% of all quarterly sales levels. Determine the sales level (in millions of dollars) that is the cutoff between quarters that are considered "failures" by that company and quarters that are not. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to one decimal place. million dollars X S
A nationwide job recruiting firm wants to compare the annual incomes for childcare workers in Utah and Oregon. Due to recent trends in the childcare industry, the firm suspects that the mean annual income of childcare workers in Utah is less than the mean annual income of childcare workers in Oregon. To see if this is true, the firm selected a random sample of 20 childcare workers from Utah and an independent random sample of 20 childcare workers from Oregon and asked them to report their mean annual income. The data obtained were as follows. Annual income in dollars 27060 , 42320 , 36445 , 37895, 44564 , 35325 , 30313 , 28698, 33706 , 48365 , 26946 , 25063 , 28339 , 29265 , 40051 , 37026 , 40150 , 42753 , 27820, 39471 Utah 29769 , 48859 , 32480 , 36288,45102 , 46219 ,51098 , 45516 , 38834 , 44659 , 40755 , 38006 , 39947 , 29801 , 32200, 38731 , 41370 , 28059 , 33753 , 35271 Oregon Send data to calc... v Send data to Excel The population standard deviation for the annual incomes of…
