QUESTION 5
The mean length of 84 randomly chosen upcoming engineering conferences (chosen from a list of every known upcoming engineering conference) was 3.94 days,
with a standard deviation of 1.28 days. Assume the underlying population is normal.
a) Choose the appropriate way to define random variables x and
x̄.
x is the length of an engineering conference.
x̄ is the mean length from a sample of 84 engineering conferences.
x is the mean length from a sample of 84 engineering conferences.
x̄ is the length of an engineering conference
x is 1.28 days
x̄ is the standard deviation
x is the number of conferences held in one day.
x̄ is the mean number of conferences held in one day.
QUESTION 6
A sample of 20 heads of lettuce was selected. Assume that the population distribution of head weight is normal. The weight of each head of lettuce was then
recorded. The mean weight was 2.2 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.1 pounds. The population standard deviation is known to be 0.2 pounds.
Identify the following:
a. x̄ =
b. σ =
c. n =
QUESTION 7
A sample of 20 heads of lettuce was selected. Assume that the population distribution of head weight is normal. The weight of each head of lettuce was then
recorded. The mean weight was 2.2 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.1 pounds. The population standard deviation is known to be 0.2 pounds.
Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean weight of the heads of lettuce.
(Write out to 4 decimal places and write as an interval. For example, (2,10) would be the interval from 2 to 10. )
CI: [a]
QUESTION 8

Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean weight of the heads of lettuce.
(Write out to 4 decimal places and write as an interval. For example, (2,10) would be the interval from 2 to 10. )
CI: [a]
QUESTION 9
A toy factory makes 5,000 teddy bears per day. The supervisor randomly selects 10 teddy bears from all 5,000 teddy bears and uses this sample to estimate the
mean weight of teddy bears and the sample standard deviation. How many degrees of freedom are there in the estimate of the standard deviation?
QUESTION 10
Suppose that a committee is studying whether or not there is waste of time in our judicial system.
It is interested in the mean amount of time individuals waste at the courthouse waiting to be called for jury duty.
The committee randomly surveyed 81 people who recently served as jurors.
The sample mean wait time was eight hours with a sample standard deviation of four hours.
a) Find the following:
i) x̄ =
ii) sx=
iii) n=
iv) d.f.=
b) Which distribution should we use for this problem?
-distribution
c) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean length of engineering conferences. CI: (

QUESTION 12
A college professor wants to estimate the mean age of all of her students. In a random sample of 24 students, the mean age is found to be 21.5 years. The study
was done the previous year and produced a standard deiation of 1.2 years, where the population was normally distributed.
Find the standard error E and construct a 95% confidence interval of the population mean age
