Question

A
company
manufactures
a
certain
over-the-counter
drug.
The
company
samples
80
pills
and
finds
that
the
mean
amount
of
drug
in
the
pills
is
325.5
mg
with
a
standard
deviation
of
10.3
mg.
Find
the
90%
confidence
interval
for
the
mean
of
all
the
pills.
Your
Answer:
n=80
|z
=325.5|
s=10.3
The
formula
for
confidence
interval
is:

We
are
not
told
the
number
of
pills
manufactured
but
we
may
assume
it
is
a
very
large
number.
Since
the
sample
size
is
greater
than
30,
we
should
use
Case
1:
Very
large
population
and
very
large
sample
size.
We
are
given
the
sample
mean
and
sample
standard
deviation.
So,
we
have
n=80
X=3255
=103
We
will
use
these
values
in
the
equation:

For
a
90%

level,
we
look
at

and
find
that
z=

When
we
substitute
these

our
equation,
we
get:

A
total
of
200
rods
have
been
manufactured.
You
sample
50
of
the
rods
and
find
that
they
have
a
mean
length
of
15.5
inches
with
a
standard
deviation
of
1.73
inches.
Find
the
80

for
the
mean
length
for
all
of
the
rods.

Suppose
that
you
are
a
nurse
and
you
are
assigned
to
do
checkups
of
people
one
day
per
week
in
a
certain
village.
You
have
a
total
of
300
patients
in
the
village.
You
have
the
option
of
doing
the
checkups
in
the
mornings
or
in
the
afternoons.
Therefore,
you
ask
35
patients
and
find
that
62%
prefer
afternoon
appointments
while
38%
prefer
morning
appointments.
Find
the
95%
confidence
limit
for
the
proportion
of
all
patients
that
prefer
afternoon
appointments.
Your
Answer:
p=.62
n=35
z=1.96
