Chapter 13, Problem 65H
A grassroots group opposed to a proposed increase in the gas tax claimed that the increase would hurt working-class
people the most, since they commute the farthest to work. Suppose that the group randomly surveyed 24 individuals and
asked them their daily one-way commuting mileage. The results are in Table 13.22. Using a 5% significance level, test
the hypothesis that the three

(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.
