Thirteen tons of cheese, including "22-pound" wheels (label weight), is stored in some old gypsum mines. A random sample of n = 9 of these wheels yielded the following weights in pounds. 21.50, 18.95, 18.55, 19.40, 19.15, 22.35, 22.90, 22.20, 23.10 Assuming the distributions of the weights of the wheels of cheese is N(mean(mu),standard deviation), find 95% confidence interval for mu.

D A small amount of the trace element selenium, 50-200 micrograms (ug) per day, is considered essential to good health. Suppose that random samples of 50 adults were selected from two regions of the United States and that each person's daily selenium intake was recorded. The means and standard deviations of the selenium daily intakes for the two groups are shown in the table. Sample Mean (ug) Sample Standard Deviation (ug) Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference (₁-₂) in the mean selenium intakes for the two regions.

light examined data on employment and answered questions regarding why workers separate from their employes. According to the article, the standard deviation of the length of time that women with one job are employed during the first 8 years of their career is 92 weeks. Length of time employed during the first 8 years of career is a left skewed variable. For that variable, do the following tasks. A. determine the sampling distribution of the sample mean for simple random samples of 50 women with one job. Explain your reasoning B. Obtain the probability that the sampling error made in estimating the mean length of time employed by all women with one job by that of a random sample of 50 such women will be at most 20 weeks
