1. A sample of the weights of 35 babies is taken from the local hospital maternity ward. The point estimate for the mean weight of the babies is 110.2 ounces with a sample standard deviation of 23.4 ounces. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean baby weight at this hospital. Interpret this interval. 2. The personnel department of a large corporation wants to estimate the family dental expenses of its employees to determine the feasibility of providing a dental insurance plan. A random sample of six employees reveals the following family dental expenses: $180, $260, $60, $40, $100, and $80. It is known that dental expenses follow a normal distribution. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the average family dental expenses for all employees of this corporation. 3. A large university is interested in the outcome of a course standardization process. They have taken a random sample of 100 student grades, across all instructors. The grades represent the proportion of problems answered correctly on a midterm exam. The sample proportion correct was calculated as 0.78: a. Construct a 90% confidence interval on the population proportion of correctly answered problems b. Construct a 95% confidence interval on the population proportion of correctly answered problems. 4. A large university is interested in the outcome of a course standardization process. They have learned that 150 students of the total 1,500 students failed to pass the course in the current semester. Construct a 99% confidence interval on the population proportion of students who failed to pass the course. Was the normality condition met for the validity of the confidence interval formula? 5. Pure-bred dogs competing in shows must often meet specific height criteria to be considered to be within the breed standard. A new breed of dog, the pug-cock-a-poo, has been approved by a kennel club. The variance of pug-cock-a-poo height is known to be 2.25 inches squared. You would like to estimate the mean height of all pug-cock-a-poo breeds of dogs. a. Find the appropriate sample size to achieve a margin of error of 0.3 when maintaining a 90% level of confidence. b. Find the appropriate sample size to achieve a margin of error of 0.3 when maintaining a 95% level of confidence. 6. A sample of holiday shoppers is taken randomly from a local mall to determine the average daily spending on gifts. From a preselected sample, the standard deviation was determined to be $26. You would like to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean daily spending on all holiday spending. a. Find the appropriate sample size necessary to achieve a margin of error of $5. b. Find the appropriate sample size necessary to achieve a margin of error of $8.
