Question
Concerns about climate change and CO2 reduction have initiated the commercial production of blends of biodiesel (e.g., from renewable sources) and petrodiesel (from fossil fuel). Random samples of 41 blended fuels are tested in a lab to ascertain the bio/total carbon ratio. If the true mean is .9220 with a standard deviation of .0060, within what interval will 90 percent of the sample means fall? (Round your answers to 4 decimal places

Actually, vitamin needs vary drastically from person to person, but the needs are closely approximated by a normal curve. To calculate the recommended daily allowance, the government first finds the standard deviation and the average need for vitamins among people in the population. The recommended daily allowance is then defined as the mean plus 2.7 times the standard deviation. What fraction of the population will receive adequate amounts of vitamins under this plan?
