A particular brand of trans-fat butter was analyzed to determine the level of polyunsaturated fatty acid (in percentages). A sample of six packages resulted in the following data: 16.8, 17.2, 17.4, 16.9, 16.5, 17.1 Compute a 99% tolerance interval on the polyunsaturated fatty acid in this particular type of margarine that has a confidence interval of 95%. a. The 99% tolerance interval is much wider than the 99% confidence interval on u O b. Insufficient Data O c. The 99% tolerance interval is much narrower than the 99% confidence interval on µ O d. None of the above

A random sample of 62 suspension helmets used by motorcycle riders and automobile race-car drivers was subjected to an impact test, and on 37 of these helmets some damage was observed.

During a routine check of the fluoride content of Gotham City's water supply, the given results were obtained from replicate analyses of a single sample: 0.513 mg/L0.513 mg/L , 0.487 mg/L0.487 mg/L , 0.511 mg/L0.511 mg/L , 0.489 mg/L0.489 mg/L , and 0.519 mg/L0.519 mg/L . Determine the mean and 90% confidence interval for the average fluoride concentration in this sample. Report the mean and the confidence interval with three significant figures.

In a sample of seven cars, each car was tested for nitrogen-oxide emissions (in grams per mile) and the following results were obtained: 0.06, 0.11, 0.16, 0.15, 0.14, 0.08, 0.15 (based on data from the Environmental Protection Agency). Assuming that this sample is representative of the cars in use, construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean amount of nitrogen-oxide emission for all cars.
In a study of contamination at landfills containing construction and demolition waste, 42 leachate specimens were tested for the presence of several contaminants. Of the 42 specimens, 26 contained detectable levels of lead, and 32 contained detectable levels of chromium. Is it possible, using the methods of this section, to find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the probability that a specimen will contain a detectable amount of lead and the probability that it will contain a detectable amount of chromium? If so, find the confidence interval. If not, explain why not.
In a population where the proportion of people who have the ability to taste umami is unknown, a random sample of 100 people were tested and 74 could clearly distinguish umami from saltiness. Calculate the 95% and 99% population proportion confidence intervals for this finding.
The management of a large national chain of 20 motels, each with 100 rooms, decided to estimate the mean cost per room of repairing damages made by its customers . A random sample of 31 vacated rooms was inspected by the management and indicated a mean repair cost Of tilde x =\$28.10 and a sample standard deviation of s=\$12.40 . Construct a 95\% confidence interval for the mean repair cost u for the 2000 motel rooms .
In a study of maternal cigarette smoking and bone density in newborns, 77 infants of mothers who smoked had a mean bone mineral content of 0.098 g/cm3 (s1 = 0.026 g/cm3). The 161 infants whose mothers did not smoke had a mean bone mineral content of 0.095 g/cm3 (s2 = 0.025 g/cm3). Calculate the 95% confidence interval for µ1 - µ2
In a sample of seven cars, each car was tested for nitrogen-oxide emissions (in grams per mile) and the following results were obtained: 0.090.09, 0.190.19, 0.120.12, 0.160.16, 0.190.19, 0.170.17, 0.15 .0.15. Assuming that this sample is representative of the cars in use, construct a 9898% confidence interval estimate of the mean amount of nitrogen-oxide emissions for all cars. If the EPA requires that nitrogen-oxide emissions be less than 0.165 g divided by mig/mi, can we safely conclude that this requirement is being met?
A plant that manufactures a special filament for incandescent lamps works two eight-hour shifts (morning and evening) with the production levels in meters listed in the table. The quality control management is interested in knowing if there is a difference in production between shifts, so it proposes to carry out a simple comparative study with a confidence level of 90%.
