9.13) The breaking strength of threads has a standard deviation of 18 grams. How many measures of breaking strength should be used in the next experiment if the estimate of the mean breaking strength is to be within 4 grams of the true mean breaking strength, with a confidence coefficient of 0.90?
A random sample of 16 adult male wolves from the Canadian Northwest Territories gave an average weight x1 = 97 lb with estimated sample standard deviation s1 = 6.3 lb. Another sample of 22 adult male wolves from Alaska gave an average weight x2 = 88 lb with estimated sample standard deviation s2 = 7.1 lb. (a) Let ?1 represent the population mean weight of adult male wolves from the Northwest Territories, and let ?2 represent the population mean weight of adult male wolves from Alaska. Find a 75% confidence interval for ?1 – ?2. (Round your answers to one decimal place.) lower limit upper limit (b) Examine the confidence interval and explain what it means in the context of this problem. Does the interval consist of numbers that are all positive? all negative? of different signs? At the 75% level of confidence, does it appear that the average weight of adult male wolves from the Northwest Territories is greater than that of the Alaska wolves? Because the interval…
An article reported that for a sample of 44 kitchens with gas cooking appliances monitored during a one-week period, the sample mean CO2 level (ppm) was 654.16, and the sample standard deviation was 163.02. (b) Suppose the investigators had made a rough guess of 182 for the value of s before collecting data. What sample size would be necessary to obtain an interval width of 60 ppm for a confidence level of 95%? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)
What price do farmers get for their seedless watermelon crops? In a recent month, a simple random sample of 31 farming regions gave a sample mean of $12.15 per 100 pounds of seedless watermelon. Assumer that σ=$1.46 per 100 pounds. Find the sample size necessary for a 90% confidence level with a margin of error E=0.61 for the mean price per 100 pounds of seedless watermelon.

Suppose the heights of a population of male giraffes are normally distributed with an unknown population mean and a population standard deviation of 3.4 feet. A random sample of male giraffes from the population produces a sample mean height of x¯=15.2 feet.

Consider the following questions about CIs (Confidence intervals). A researcher tests emotional intelligence (EI) for a random sample of children selected from a population of all students who are enrolled in a school for gifted children. The researcher wants to estimate the mean emotional intelligence EI for the entire school. The population standard deviation, , for EI is not known. Let’s suppose that a researcher wants to set up a 95% (Confidence intervals) CI for IQ scores using the following information: The sample mean M = 130. The sample standard deviation s = 15. The sample size N =120. The (degree of freedom) df = N – 1 = 119. pg 87 df = 120 – 1 = 119 df = 119 For the values given above, the limits of the 95% CI are as follows: Lower limit = 130 – 1.96 x 1.37 = 127.31; Upper limit = 130 + 1.96 x 1.37 = 132.69. The following exercises ask you to experiment to see how changing some of the values involved in computing the CI influences the width of the CI. Recalculate the CI…

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: A. 2.09302 B. 1.724718 C. 2.08596 D. 1.729133 E. none of the preceding

Given a sample mean of xbar=27 and a population standard deviation of σ=3.5 from a previous study where n=16 values, find the z value and p value. The data indicates that the population mean for the speed of a Belgian Malinois is µ=30 mph, but we think it may be higher based on our data. Test the claim that µ<30 with alpha value of a=0.05.
