4. A sociologist discovered that an average of 7.2 jobs was held by 50 retired men during
the course of their lives. The standard deviation of the population is 2.1. Calculate the
95% confidence interval for the average number of jobs.
5. The average cell phone lifespan, according to a new research, is 24.3 months. It takes
2.6 months to reach the standard deviation. Calculate the likelihood that a company's
33 employees will have a mobile phone with a lifespan of less than 23.8 months.
Assume that the length of time spent on a mobile phone is a regularly distributed
variable.
