Step 1
Confidence interval:
Confidence interval is the interval estimate of the population parameter. It is the range where the population parameter value will lie in between.
When the population standard deviation is known:
The confidence interval for μ1 – μ2 when the population standard deviation is known is given below:

- Before every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The aircraft can carry 40 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,250 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6,250 lb / 40 = 163 lb. What is the possiblity that the aircraft is overloaded? Should the pilot take any action to correct an overloaded aircraft? Assume that the weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 177.3 lb and a standard deviation of 39.3 The probability is approximatelyarrow_forwardOverproduction of uric acid in the body can be an indication of cell breakdown. This may be an advance indication of illness such as gout, leukemia, or lymphoma.+ Over a period months, an adult male patient has taken five blood tests for uric acid. The mean concentration was x = 5.34 mg/dl. The distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be normal, with σ = 1.83 mg/dl. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in this patient's blood. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit upper limit margin of error (b) What conditions are necessary for your calculations? (Select all that apply.) Oo is unknown O uniform distribution of uric acid F σ is known O normal distribution of uric acid On is large (c) Interpret your results in the context of this problem.

- It takes an average of 14.5 minutes for blood to begin clotting after an injury. An EMT wants to see if the average will increase if the patient is immediately told the truth about the injury. The EMT randomly selected 70 injured patients to immediately tell the truth about the injury and noticed that they averaged 16.3 minutes for their blood to begin clotting after their injury. Their standard deviation was 4.75 minutes. What can be concluded at the the α = 0.10 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use [Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: ? Select an answer H₁: ? Select an answer ✓ c. The test statistic ? = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) d.
