Question

1) The Highway Safety Department wants to study the driving habits of individuals. A sample of 121 cars traveling on the highway revealed an average speed of 60 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 11 miles per hour. Determine Lower Limit (LL) of 98.92% confidence interval estimate for the speed of all cars.

(Please use 2 decimal places for the answer)

2) The monthly starting salaries of students who receive an MBA degree have a population standard deviation of $125. What size sample should be selected to obtain a 0.95 probability of estimating the mean monthly income within $15 or less?

Below you are given ages that were obtained by taking a random sample of 9 undergraduate students. Assume the population has a normal distribution.

What is the Lower Limit of 98% confidence interval for the average age of undergraduate students.

(Please, use 1 decimal place for the answer)

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
