Chapter 8: Q. 115 (page 489)

Use the following information to answer the next two exercises: A quality control specialist for a restaurant chain takes a random sample of size 12to check the amount of soda served in the 16oz. serving size. The sample mean is 13.30with a sample standard deviation of 1.55. Assume the underlying population is normally distributed.

Find the 95%Confidence Interval for the true population mean for the amount of soda served.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A quality control specialist for a restaurant chain takes a random sample of size 12to check the amount of soda served in the 16oz. serving size.

The sample mean is 13.30with a sample standard deviation of 1.55.

02

Explanation

The confidence interval will be 渭+/鈭�t蟽/n

渭=13.30蟽=1.55n=12

We use a t-distribution rather than zbecause the population standard deviation isn't known and the sample size is <30

degrees of freedom =12-1=11

two tailedalpha=0.05(1-0.95)

so on a TI-842ndvars invt area=0.975

localid="1650542364085" df=11;t=2.26

you can calculate the confidence interval(12.32,14.29)

Of 1,050 randomly selected adults, 360 identified themselves as manual laborers, 280 identified themselves as non-manual wage earners, 250 identified themselves as midlevel managers, and 160 identified themselves as executives. In the survey, 82% of manual laborers preferred trucks, 62% of non-manual wage earners preferred trucks, 54% of mid-level managers preferred trucks, and 26% of executives preferred trucks

Construct a 95% confidence interval. State the confidence interval, sketch the graph, and calculate the error bound

Using the same mean, standard deviation, and sample size, how would the error bound change if the confidence level were reduced to 90%? Why?
