A cheese processing company wants to estimate the mean cholesterol content of all one-ounce servings of a type of cheese. The estimate must be within 0.77 milligram of the population mean. (a) Determine the minimum sample size required to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. Assume the population standard deviation is 3.02 milligrams. (b) The sample mean is 33 milligrams. Using the minimum sample size with a 95% level of confidence, does it seem likely that the population mean could be within 3% of the sample mean? within 0.3% of the sample mean? Explain.

When planning to construct a 95% confidence interval for a population mean such that it is within one eighth (population) standard deviation from a sample mean, what is the minimum sample size required?
A company that produces bread is concerned about the distribution of the amount of sodium in its bread. The company takes a simple random sample of 100 slices of bread and computes the sample mean to be 103 milligrams of sodium per slice. Assume that the population standard deviation is 10 milligrams. a) Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean sodium level. b) Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate for the mean sodium level.
The National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities reported that students graduating from public colleges and universities have an average debt of $12,000 upon graduation (Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine, November 1998). Assume that this average or mean amount is based on a sample of 245 students and that, based on past studies, the population standard deviation for the debt upon graduation is $2200. 1. Develop a 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean. 2. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean 3. Develop a 99% confidence interval estimate of the population mean. 4. Discuss what happens to the width of the confidence interval as the confidence level is increased. Does this result seem reasonable? Explain. 5. Using a confidence interval of 90% we want our margin to be within $100, what is the minimum number of people I need to sample?
When the standard deviation used to construct a confidence interval for a population mean increases, the margin of error of the confidence interval is:
