Students have asked these similar questions
1. The yield of a chemical process is being studied. From previous experience, yield is known to be normally
distributed and σ = 3. The past 5 days of plant operation have
resulted in the following percent yields: 91.6, 88.75, 90.8, 89.95,
and 91.3. Find a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the true
mean yield.
2. A research engineer for a tire manufacturer is investigating
tire life for a new rubber compound and has built 16 tires and
tested them to end-of-life in a road test. The sample mean and
standard deviation are 60,139.7 and 3645.94 kilometers. Find a
95% confidence interval on mean tire life
The following two questions appear on an employee survey questionnaire. Each answer is chosen from the five-point scale

Cloud seeding, a process in which chemicals such as silver iodide and frozen carbon dioxide are introduced by aircraft
into clouds to promote rainfall, was widely used in the 20th
century. Recent research has questioned its effectiveness [“Reassessment of Rain Enhancement Experiments and Operations
in Israel Including Synoptic Considerations,” Journal of Atmospheric Research (2010, Vol. 97(4), pp. 513–525)]. An experiment was performed by randomly assigning 52 clouds to be
seeded or not. The amount of rain generated was then measured
in acre-feet. Here are the data for the unseeded and seeded clouds:
Unseeded:
81.2 26.1 95.0 41.1 28.6 21.7 11.5 68.5 345.5 321.2
