Chapter 11.6, Problem 39E
Refer to Exercise 11.16. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean potency of a 1-ounce portion of antibiotic stored at 65°F.
11.16 An experiment was conducted to observe the effect of an increase in temperature on the potency of an antibiotic. Three 1-ounce portions of the antibiotic were stored for equal lengths of time at each of the following Fahrenheit temperatures: 30°, 50°, 70°, and 90°. The potency readings observed at the end of the experimental period were as shown in the following table.
- a Find the least-squares line appropriate for this data.

A study of runoff water from a manufacturing plant was made. Included in the study were pH measurements for six water specimens: 5.9, 5.0, 6.5, 5.6, 5.9, 6.5. Assume that these are a random sample of water specimens from a normal population. A 98% prediction interval for a pH of a single specimen is closest to

The odor threshold for dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in trained wine tasters is about 25 micrograms per liter of wine (µg/L). The untrained noses of consumers may be less sensitive, however. A set of DMS odor threshold data for 10 untrained students was analyzed. How sensitive are the untrained noses of students? You want to estimate the mean DMS odor threshold among all students, and you would be satisfied to estimate the mean to within ±0.25 with 95% confidence. The standard deviation of the odor threshold for untrained noses is known to be o = 8 micrograms per liter of wine. How large an SRS of untrained students do you need?
