Allen's hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) has been studied by zoologist Bill Alther.† Suppose a small group of 10 Allen's hummingbirds has been under study in Arizona. The average weight for these birds is x = 3.15 grams. Based on previous studies, we can assume that the weights of Allen's hummingbirds have a normal distribution, with ? = 0.36 gram.

When finding an 80% confidence interval, what is the critical value for confidence level? (Give your answer to two decimal places.)

z_c = _______

Find the sample size necessary for an 80% confidence level with a maximal margin of error E = 0.12 for the mean weights of the hummingbirds. (Round up to the nearest whole number.)

_______ hummingbirds

Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 44 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that ? = 8.00 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma.

When finding an 99% confidence interval, what is the critical value for confidence level? (Give your answer to two decimal places.)

z_c =_________

Find the sample size necessary for a 99% confidence level with maximal margin of error E = 2.20 for the mean plasma volume in male firefighters. (Round up to the nearest whole number.)

__________ male firefighters
