Six different national brands of chocolate chip cookies were randomly selected at the supermarket. The grams of fat per serving are as follows: 8;8;10;7;9;9. Assume the underlying distribution is approximately normal.

a. Construct a 90%confidence interval for the population mean grams of fat per serving of chocolate chip cookies

sold in supermarkets.

i. State the confidence interval.

ii. Sketch the graph.

iii. Calculate the error bound.

b. If you wanted a smaller error bound while keeping the same level of confidence, what should have been changed in the study before it was done?

c. Go to the store and record the grams of fat per serving of six brands of chocolate chip cookies.

d. Calculate the mean.

e. Is the mean within the interval you calculated in part a? Did you expect it to be? Why or why not?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The final results are:

1.CI=(5740.1,7109.9)

2. through graph we see that

3.EBM=665.0178.

(b) If you desired a lower error bound while maintaining the same degree of confidence, you should have raised the sample size.

(c) The data recorded is we see is given below,

Fats per serving =9,11,10,11,7,7

(d) Mean is x=9.1667.

(e) Yes, the above-mentioned mean falls inside the confidence interval because the sample is so tiny that it does not usually provide reliable results.

Step by step solution

01

Explanation (a)

i. Using the TI-83calculator or the TI-83,83+,84,84+calculators, state the confidence interval.

Make a list of the information.

Press STAT button and then arrow to TESTS.

Arrow to 8:TInterval.

Press ENTER button.

Arrow to and press ENTER.

Arrow and enter the name of the list where the data is stored.

Enter Freq : 1 Enter C- Level : .9

Arrow to

Calculate and hit the Enter key.

The confidence interval's output,

CI=(5740.1,7109.9)

ii. The graph is as follows:

iii. The formula is used to compute the error bound.

EBM=tn-1a2sn

EBM=t84-10.052315684

EBM=665.0178.

02

Explanation (b)

If you desired a lower error bound while maintaining the same degree of confidence, you should have raised the sample size.

03

Explanation (c)

The data recorded is we see is given below,

Fats per serving =9,11,10,11,7,7.

04

Explanation (d)

Here we calculate mean is,

x=9+11+10+11+7+76

x=9.1667.

05

Explanation (e) 

Yes, the above-mentioned mean falls inside the confidence interval because the sample is so tiny that it does not usually provide reliable results.

132. Public Policy Polling recently conducted a survey asking adults across the U.S. about music preferences. When asked, 80 of the 571 participants admitted that they have illegally downloaded music.

a. Create a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of American adults who have illegally downloaded music.

b. This survey was conducted through automated telephone interviews on May 6 and 7,2013. The error bound of the survey compensates for sampling error or natural variability among samples. List some factors that could affect the survey's outcome that is not covered by the margin of error.

c. Without performing any calculations, describe how the confidence interval would change if the confidence level changed from 99%to90%.

The U.S. Census Bureau conducts a study to determine the time needed to complete the short form. The Bureau surveys 200 people. The sample mean is 8.2 minutes. There is a known standard deviation of 2.2 minutes. The population distribution is assumed to be normal.
