(a) Construct a 99.9% confidence interval for the mean reduction in cholesterol level. Let a represent the cholesterol level before treatment minus the cholesterol level after. Use tables to find the critical value and round the answers to at least one decimal place.
I worked out the answers for most of this, and provided the answers in the tables that follow. But for the total cost table, I need help working out the values for 10%, 11%, and 12%.
A pharmaceutical company produces the drug NasaMist from four chemicals. Today, the company must produce 1000 pounds of the drug. The three active ingredients in NasaMist are A, B, and C. By weight, at least 8% of NasaMist must consist of A, at least 4% of B, and at least 2% of C. The cost per pound of each chemical and the amount of each active ingredient in one pound of each chemical are given in the data at the bottom. It is necessary that at least 100 pounds of chemical 2 and at least 450 pounds of chemical 3 be used.

- Suppose an experiment was conducted to compare the mileage(km) per litre obtained by competing brands of petrol I,II,III. Three new Mazda, three new Toyota and three new Nissan cars were available for experimentation. During the experiment the cars would operate under same conditions in order to eliminate the effect of external variables on the distance travelled per litre on the assigned brand of petrol. The data is given as below: Brands of Petrol Mazda Toyota Nissan I 10.6 12.0 11.0 II 9.0 15.0 12.0 III 12.0 17.4 13.0 (a) Test at the 5% level of significance whether there are signi cant differences among the brands of fuels and also among the cars.
