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
From a simple random sample of 400 of the 1,395 colleges in our population, it was found that business statistics was a two-semester course in 141 of the sampled colleges. Estimate the proportion of all colleges for which the course is two semesters long, and find a 90% confidence interval.
In a study of parasite–host relationships, 242 larvaeof the moth Ephestia were exposed to parasitization by the Ichneumon fly. The following table shows the number of Ichneumon eggs found in each of the Ephestia larva. For these data, yQ = 2.368 and s = 1.950. Student’s tmethod yields the following 95% confidence interval form, the population mean number of eggs per larva: 2.12 < μ < 2.61 (a) Does it appear reasonable to assume that thepopulation distribution of Y is approximately normal?Explain.(b) In view of your answer to part (a), on what groundscan you defend the application of Student’s t methodto these data?
A department store finds that in a random sample of 200 customers, 60% of the sampled customers had browsed its website prior to visiting the store. Based on this data, a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of customers that browse the store’s website prior to visiting the store will be between _________________. 0.6588 and 0.6312 0.4528 and 0.5250 0.5960 and 6040 0.5978 and 0.6022 0.5430 and 0.6570
A U.S. Food Survey showed that Americans routinely eat beef in their diet. Suppose that in a study of 49 consumers in Illinois and 64 consumers in Texas the following results were obtained from two samples regarding average yearly beef consumption: Illinois Texas = 49 = 64 = 54.1lb = 60.4lb S1 = 7.0 S2 = 8.0 Develop a 95% confidence Interval Estimate for the difference between the two population means.
A farmer wants to test the effectiveness of a pest control method in allowing strawberry blooms to yield marketable strawberries. Of a random sample of 100 blooms,77 yield marketable strawberries. Is this evidence that two thirds or more of all blooms grown with this pest control method end up as marketable strawberries? The 95%large-sample confidence interval for the proportion of blooms that yield marketable strawberries is: A. 0.77± 0.042 B. 0.77±0.082 C. 0.77±0.0034 D. 0.77±0.0017G5
A soft-drink manufacturer purchases aluminum cans from an outside vendor. A random sample of 70 cans is selected from a large shipment, and each is tested for strength by applying an increasing load to the side of the can until it punctures. Of the 70 cans, 59 meet the specification for puncture resistance. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of cans in the shipment that meet the specification. (b) How to interpret the confidence interval in part (a)? (c) Find the sample size needed for a 90% confidence interval to specify the proportion to within ±0.06. (d) If a 90% confidence interval is computed each day for 300 days, what is the probability that more than 280 of the confidence intervals cover the true proportions?
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.
Suppose an All Greens store in Sonoma, California, wants to estimate a range of advertising costs appropriate to its store. If it spends too little on advertising, it will not reach enough customers. However, it does not want to overspend on advertising for this type and size of store. At this store, x1 = 163, x2 = 2.4, x3 = 188, x5 = 6.6, and x6 = 10. Use these data to predict x4 (advertising costs) and find an 80% confidence interval for your prediction. (Use 2 decimal places.) prediction lower limit upper limit At the 80% confidence level, what range of advertising costs do you think is appropriate for this store?

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
The production manager in an automobile plant is concerned with the number of cars that do not pass the final quality control inspection. In the last two hours he noted that in a sample of 120 cars only 92 were acceptable.
