The operations manager at a compact fluorescent light blub (CFL) factory needs to stimate the mean life of a large shopment of CFLs. The manufacturer's specifications are that the standard deviation is 1,000 hours. A random sample of 64 CFLs indicated a sample mean life of 7,500 hours. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean life of compact fluorescent light bulbs in this shipment. Please walk me through how to solve this problem.
You want to estimate the mean number of friends for all Facebook users. How many users must be in the sample if you want to be 95% confident that the sample mean is within seven friends of the population mean? Assume the standard deviation is 53. Also, explain the impact of sample size on confidence intervals and explain the connection between the margin of error and size of the confidence interval.
The manager of Cheesecake Factory in Boston finds the number of customers served on a sample of 5 weekdays was: 210, 169, 274, 190, and 300. It is also known that the number of customers served on weekdays follows a normal distribution. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average number of customers served on weekdays and explain what it means.
