A. Find the length of the confidence interval (s = standard deviation)
1. s = 3
n = 250
Confidence level = 95%
2. s = 6
n = 400
Confidence level = 99%
B. Determine the sample size, given the following data.
1. s = 5
E = 2.42
Confidence level = 95%
2. You want to estimate the mean gasoline price within your town to the margin of error of 6 centavos. Local newspaper reports the standard deviation for gas price in the area is 30 centavos. What sample size is needed to estimate the mean gas prices at 99% confidence level?
3. Carlos wants to replicate a study where the highest observed value is 14.8 while the lowest is 14.2. He wants to estimate the population mean µ to the margin of error of 0.025 of its true value. Using 95% confidence level, find the sample size n that he need.
A consumer advocacy group suspects that a local supermarket’s 500 grams of sugar actually weigh less than 50 grams. The group look a random sample of 20 such packages, weigh each one, and found the mean weight for the sample to be 496 grams with standard deviation of 8 grams. Using 1% significance level, would you conclude that the mean weight is less than 500 grams? Also, find the 99% confidence interval of the true mean.
It was found that 90% of cucumber seeds sown in the soil germinate. Determine the most likely
number of germinated grains if there are 70 grains in the package.
