A coin-operated coffee machine made by BIG Corporation was designed to discharge a mean of eight ounces of coffee per cup. If it dispenses more than that on average, the corporation may lose money, and if it dispenses less, the customers may complain. BIG Corporation would like to estimate the mean amount of coffee, p, dispensed per cup by this machine. BIG will choose a random sample of cup amounts dispensed by this machine and use this sample to estimate u. Assuming that the standard deviation of cup amounts dispensed by this machine is 0.40 ounces, what is the minimum sample size needed in order for BIG to be 95% confident that its estimate is within 0.07 ounces of u? Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Write your answer as a whole number (and make sure that it is the minimum whole number that satisfies the requirements). (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

From a large number of actuarial exam scores, a random sample of 275 scores is selected, and it is found that 206 of these 275 are passing scores. Based on this sample, find a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all scores that are passing. Then complete the table below. Carry the intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round the answers to two decimal places. (a) What is the lower limit of the 90% confidence interval? (b) What is the upper limit of the 90% confidence interval?
A sample of 36 students are drawn from the NUST student population, and their body weights are measured. Their results show a mean weight of 84 kg with a standard deviation of 14.8 kg. When constructing a confidence interval estimate for the single unknown population mean weight for the NUST student population, What will be the lower limit (LL) for this confidence interval estimate? a. 75.55 b. 80.40 c. 90.45 d. None of the provided Due to the sharp increase in the prices of urban properties over the last five years, only a small percentage of new city dwellers can afford to buy their own property. According to a recent survey, only 22% of these new city dwellers can afford to buy their own property. An estate agency who wanted to verify this, considered a random sample of 200 recent city dwellers, and found that only 38 of them bought their property in town. Test at the 5% significance level whether the percentage has changed. State the alternative hypothesis a. Ha :…
An apple farmer inspects a large random sample of his apples and finds that 20% contain excellent worms. He wants to charge his customers extra, and claims that the 90% confidence interval for the population pro- portion of apples that contain worms has a margin of error of at most 0.01. At least how many apples did the farmer inspect?
In random, independent samples of 225 adults and 200 teenagers who watched a certain television show, 112 adults and 138 teens indicated that they liked the show. Let p1 be the proportion of all adults watching the show who liked it, and let p2 be the proportion of all teens watching the show who liked it. Find a 95% confidence interval for −p1p2. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your responses to at least three decimal places. a.) The Lower Limit is: b.) The Upper Limit is:
From a large number of actuarial exam scores, a random sample of 250 scores is selected, and it is found that 185 of these 250 are passing scores. Based on this sample, find a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all scores that are passing. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to two decimal places.
