Chapter 8: Q.17 (page 478)

Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean weight of the heads of lettuce. State the confidence interval, sketch the graph and calculate the error bound.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The class intervalCI:(2.1264,2.2736).

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

A 90%confidence interval for the population mean weight of the heads of lettuce.

02

Explanation

Let's find the confidence interval by using the given formula:

Confidence Interval=X炉卤Z伪2脳蟽n=2.2卤Z0.102脳0.220=2.2卤1.6449脳0.220=[2.1264,2.2735]

Therefore,CI:(2.1264,2.2736).

The graph:

Error bound: EBM=0.07.

The mean age for all Foothill College students for a recent Fall term was 33.2. The population standard deviation has been pretty consistent at 15. Suppose that twenty-five Winter students were randomly selected. The mean age for the sample was 30.4. We are interested in the true mean age for Winter Foothill College students. Let X=the age of a Winter Foothill College student.

___=15.

You do a study of hypnotherapy to determine how effective it is in increasing the number of hours of sleep subjects get each night. You measure hours of sleep for 12subjects with the following results. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of hours slept for the population (assumed normal) from which you took the data. 8.2; 9.1; 7.7; 8.6; 6.9; 11.2; 10.1; 9.9; 8.9; 9.2; 7.5; 10.5

Using the same mean, standard deviation, and level of confidence, suppose that n were 69 instead of 25. Would the error bound become larger or smaller? How do you know?
