Chapter 2, Problem 7P

The gold content of an ore is being measured. The results of these analyses are:  Content (ppt) 20.065 19.999 21.054 20.533 20.088 20.112 What is the average value, standard deviation and confidence interval for this set of data?Show each step of the calculation. Using your results calculate the %accuracy and %precision (relative standard deviation) if the true value is 20.045%.

You measure 35 turtles' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 72 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 3.1 ounces. Based on this, construct a 99% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight. Give your answers as decimals, to two places ounces

Suppose a normally distributed set of data with 8900 observations has a mean of 123 and a standard deviation of 16. Use the 68-95-99.7 Rule to determine the number of observations in the data set expected to be above a value of 107. Round your answer to the nearest whole value. Hint: This problem is asking for how many observations not the percent. Answer Tip: Don't round any probabilities or percentages in your calculations. Keep all decimal places and round at the END of the problem.
