The operator of a nuclear power plant requires fuel rods to have a mean percentage of enrichment of 2.95. A fuel rod manufacturer takes a random sample of 12 specimens and reports their percentage of enrichment. The reported measurements were as follows. 2.94 2.90 3.00 2.75 2.90 | 2.75 2.82 3.00 2.95 3.05 2.95 2.81 What is the upper limit of a 99% two-sided confidence interval on the mean percentage of enrichment?

Choose the appropriate statistical test. When computing, be sure to round each answer as indicated. A dentist wonders if depression affects ratings of tooth pain. In the general population, using a scale of 1-10 with higher values indicating more pain, the average pain rating for patients with toothaches is 6.8. A sample of 30 patients that show high levels of depression have an average pain rating of 7.1 (variance 0.8). What should the dentist determine? 1. Calculate the estimated standard error. (round to 3 decimals). [st.error] 2. What is thet-obtained? (round to 3 decimals). 3. What is the t-cv? (exact value) 4. What is your conclusion? Only type "Reject" or Retain"
