Braking test A tire manufacturer tested the braking per-formance of one of its tire models on a test track. The company tried the tires on 10 different cars, recording the stopping distance for each car on both wet and dry pave-ment. Results are shown in the table.a) Write a 95% confidence interval for the mean drypavement stopping distance. Be sure to check theappropriate assumptions and conditions, and explainwhat your interval means.b) Write a 95% confidence interval for the mean increasein stopping distance on wet pavement. Be sure tocheck the appropriate assumptions and conditions, andexplain what your interval means.

Sleep apnea is a disorder in which there are pauses in breathing during sleep. People with this condition must wake up frequently to breathe. The article “Postoperative Complications in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome Undergoing Hip or Knee Replacement: A Case-Control Study” (R. Gupta, J. Parvizi, et al., Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2001:897–905) reported that in a sample of 427 people 65 and over, 104 of them had sleep apnea. a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of those 65 and over who have sleep apnea. b) Find a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of those 65 and over who have sleep apnea. c) Find the sample size needed for a 95% confidence interval to specify the proportion to within ±0.03. d) Find the sample size needed for a 99% confidence interval to specify the proportion to within ±0.03.
A prosecuting attorney in a criminal case presented as principal evidence small fragments of glass found imbedded in the coat of the accused. The attorney claimed that the fragments were identical in composition to a rare Belgian stained glass window broken during the crime. The average of triplicate analyses for five elements in the glass are in the table. On the basis of these data, does the defendant have grounds for claiming reasonable doubt as to guilt? Use the 99% confidence level as a criterion for doubt.
Accuracy of Fast Food Drive-Through Orders In a study of Burger King drive-through orders, it was found that 264 orders were accurate and 54 were not accurate. For McDonald’s, 329 orders were found to be accurate while 33 orders were not accurate (based on data from QSR magazine). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that Burger King and McDonald’s have the same accuracy rates. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval. c. Relative to accuracy of orders, does either restaurant chain appear to be better?
A professor at a large university believes that students take an average of 16 credit hours per term. A random sample of 24 students in her class of 250 students reported the following number of credit hours that they were taking. Does this sample indicate that students are taking more credit hours than the professor believes? What is the test statistic? 2 decimal places Find a 95% confidence interval for the number of credit hours taken by the students in the professor’s class.
