Gas Price Intervals Use the data from exercise 11.8 and find Bonferroni-corrected intervals for all three comparisons assuming an overall confidence level of 95%, using an individual confidence level of 98.33%. Then state whether the means are significantly different based on whether the intervals capture 0 or not. Compare your conclusions with the conclusions in exercise 11.8.

For each scenario below, decide if it would be appropriate to use (1) Critical z-values or (2) Critical t-values to find the confidence interval.
A certain test preparation course is designed to help students improve their scores on the LSAT exam. A mock exam is given at the beginning and end of the course to determine the effectiveness of the course. The following measurements are the net change in 5 students' scores on the exam after completing the course:
13, 19, 22, 15, 29
Using these data, construct a 90% confidence interval for the average net change in a student's score after completing the course. Assume the population is approximately normal.
A manager records the repair cost for 6 randomly selected TVs. A sample mean of $67.87 and standard deviation of $28.03 are subsequently computed. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the TVs. Assume the population is approximately normal.

High-power experimental engines are being developed by the Stevens Motor Company for use in its new sports coupe. The engineers have calculated
the maximum horsepower for the engine to be 800 HP. Twenty five engines are randomly selected for horsepower testing. The sample has an
average maximum HP of 870 with a standard deviation of 80 HP. Assume the population is normally distributed.
Step 1 of 2: Calculate a confidence interval for the average maximum HP for the experimental engine. Use a significance level of a = 0.01. Round
your answers to two decimal places.
Levels of insoluble ash (gm/kg) were measured ina sample of small (0.3 gm) aliquots of dried and groundalfalfa. Below are three confidence intervals for the mean: One is a 95% confidence interval, one is a 90% confidence interval, and the other is an 85% confidence interval. Without doing any calculations, match the inter-vals with the confidence levels and explain how you determined which interval goes with which level.
