A sample of 45 small generators produce fumes that was observed to be 700 ppm with a standard deviation of 165.
a) Calculate and interpret 95% two-sided confidence interval for true average amount of fumes for a population of all similar generators
b) Assume the intial observations were based on an initial estimate of 170 for the value of the sample standard deviation. What is the necessary

- The quality control manager at a light bulb factory needs to estimate the mean life of a large shipment of light bulbs. The standard deviation is 108 hours. A random sample of 64 light bulbs indicated a sample mean life of 370 hours. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate for the population mean life of light bulbs in this shipment. The 99% confidence interval estimate is from a lower limit of hours to an upper limit of hours. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) b. Do you think that the manufacturer has the right to state that the lightbulbs have a mean e of 430 hours? Explain. Based on the sample data, the manufacturer V the right to state that the lightbulbs have a mean life of 430 hours. A mean of 430 hours is V standard errors V the sample mean, so it is V that the lightbulbs have a mean life of 430 hours. c. Must you assume that the population light bulb life is normally distributed? Explain. O A. No, since o is known, the…arrow_forwardThe number of eggs laid by a particular breed of hen during their laying season has a standard deviation of 17.1. Suppose a sample of 48 hens are observed for an entire laying season, and the number of eggs they each lay is counted. Calculate the margin of error for constructing a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of eggs laid, assuming normality.arrow_forwardThere was a study was conducted and two types of engines, A and B, were compared. Fifty experiments were performed using engine A and 75 using B. The average gas mileage for A was 36 mpg, and 42 mpg for B. Assume population standard deviations for A and B are respectively 6 and 8. a) What is the point estimate? b) What is the margin of error? c) Construct the 95% confidence interval for the difference of population mean gas mileages for negines A and Barrow_forward

Assume that we know that the normal with standard deviation o 5 years. A 95% confidence interval for the mean time u the population of postal service employees have spent with the postal service is:arrow_forwardFor a random sample of 50 measurements on the breaking strength of cotton threads, the mean breaking strength was found to be 210 grams and the standard deviation 18 grams. Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the true mean breaking strength of cotton threads of this type.arrow_forwardA random sample of size 64 generated a sample mean of 80.

- An SRS of 20 orangutans is selected, and 65 cc of blood is to be drawn from each orangutan using a 100 cc syringe. In the sample, the mean volume is 64 cc and the standard deviation is 12 cc. Assume that in the population of all such procedures, the amount of blood drawn follows ą Normal distribution with mean u.

Watanabe for the article “Behavior of American Alligators Monitored by Multi-Sensor Data Loggers”. The margin of error for a sample of 68 dives was 31.2 seconds. Assume the population standard deviation is 100 seconds. If for the next study, a confidence interval for μ is to have a margin of error of 25 seconds and a confidence level of 99%, determine the required sample size.
