At the beginning of a study on the effect of calcium in the diet on blood pressure, researchers measured the seated systolic blood pressure of 27 healthy white males. The paper reporting the study gives š = 114.9 and s = 9.3. (a) Construct a 98% confidence interval: (i) Draw the density curve of x and mark the middle area. (ii) Draw the density curve of t and mark the middle area. (iii) We are % confident that the population mean is between to

The quality control manager of a car antifreeze manufacturer wants to find the fluctuations in the amount of antifreeze solution that a container can hold. She selects a sample of 18 such container and arrives at an average of 3787 lb., and a s. d. of 55.4 lb. Using this sample data construct a 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the car antifreeze.
A large multi-branch bank is affiliated with both the MasterCard and Visa credit cards. For a random sample of 100 MasterCard cardholders, it is observed that the average month-end account balance is R682.58 with a sample standard deviation of R307.05. For a random sample of 100 Visa cardholders, the average month-end account balance is R550.55 with a sample standard deviation of R265.29. The 90% confidence interval for the mean difference between the month-end account balances for the two types of credit card holders (rounded to three decimals) is:
Find the critical value, t c, used for a 95% confidence interval for the mean with a sample size of 28. Round to three decimal places.
A 30 month study is conducted to determine the difference in rates of accidents per month between two departments in an assembly plant. If a sample of 12 from the first department averaged 12.3 accidents per month with a standard deviation of 3.5, and a sample of 9 from the second department averaged 7.6 accidents per month with standard deviation of 3.4, find: The t-value for a 95% confidence interval is:
Based on a large sample of capacitors of a certain type, a 95% confidence interval for the mean capacitance, in μF, was computed to be (0.213, 0.241). Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean capacitance of this type of capacitor.
To study the effect of curing temperature on shear strength of a certain rubber compound, 80 specimens were cured at 150°C and 95 were cured at 130°C. The specimens cured at 150°C had an average shear strength of 620 psi, with a standard deviation of 20 psi. Those cured at 130°C had an average shear strength of 750 psi, with a standard deviation of 30 psi. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean shear strengths of specimens cured at the two temperatures.
In order to estimate the average GPA of all students at SCC, we selected a random sample of 36 students and found that their average GPA is 2.1 with a s. d. of 0.8.Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average GPA of all students at SCC.
A popular weight loss program claims that with its recommended healthy diet regimen, users lose significant weight within a month. In order to estimate the mean weight loss of all customers, a nutritionist takes a sample of 18 dieters and records their weight loss one month after joining the program. He computes the sample mean of weight loss as 12.5 pounds and the sample standard deviation of weight loss as 9.2 pounds. Compute the 90% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round to two decimal places.)
Do crows remember the faces of people who bother them? A volunteer wearing a caveman mask was scolded by 158 out of 444 crows he encountered, and the crows scolded a person in the neutral mask in 109 out of 922 encounters. Load the data above into StatKey, and use the percentile method to find a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of crow scoldings between volunteers wearing the caveman mask and those wearing the neutral mask. What is the left endpoint and right endpoint?
