The sugar content in a one-cup serving of a certain breakfast cereal was measured for a sample of 140 servings. The average was 11.9 g and the standard deviation was 1.1 g. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean sugar content.   Find a 99% confidence interval for the mean sugar content.   What is the confidence level of the interval (11.81, 11.99)?   How large a sample is needed so that a 95% confidence interval specifies the mean to within ±0.1?   How large a sample is needed so that a 99% confidence interval specifies the mean to within ±0.1?   Find a 95% upper confidence bound for the mean  sugar content.   The claim is made that the mean sugar content is  greater than 11.7 g. With what level of confidence can this statement be made?

In a construction factory, three production lines were used to produce bricks, the produced bricks matched the specifications as shown in the following table, calculate the following: 1- The probability of obtaining a sample that not matched the specifications when taken randomly from the production of the factory 2- If a sample is taken and it not matched the specifications, what is the probability that it was produced from the first line? 3- If a sample is taken and it matched the specifications, what is the probability that it was produced from the second line? Production Line First Third Second 80 Matching the specifications% 70 90
2) Items produced in an industrial process can be dassified as either defective or non defective. The probability that an item is defective is 0.1. An experiment is conducted in which 5 items are drawn randomly from the process. Let the random variable x be the number of defective items in this sample of five. Determine the probability mass function f(x).
Find the standard deviation of the following data: Size of items 10 11 12 13 14 Frequency 2 7 11 15 16 1 15 10 4 [Ans.: 1.342]
Measurements of the flexible strength of carbon fiber are carried out during the design of a leg prosthesis. After 15 measurements, the mean is calculated as 1725 MPa with a standard deviation of 375 MPa. Previous data on the same material shows a mean of 1740 MPa with a standard deviation of 250 MPa. Use this information to estimate mean and standard deviation of the posterior distribution of the mean. Note: round your answers to only 2 decimals. The mean value of the posterior is type your answer. MPa and the standard deviation is type your answer. MPa.

Example: A product developer is interested in reducing the drying time of a primer paint. Two formulations of the paint are tested; formulation 1 is the standard chemistry, and formulation 2 has a new drying ingredient that should reduce the drying time. From experience, it is known that the standard deviation of drying time is 8 minutes, and this inherent variability should be unaffected by the addition of the new ingredient. Ten specimens are painted with formulation 1, and another 10 specimens are painted with formulation 2; the 20 specimens are painted in random order. The two sample average drying times are 121 minutes and 112 minutes, respectively. What conclusions can the product developer draw about the effectiveness of the new ingredient, using a-0.05?
