9. Suppose that a milk producer wishes to estimate the mean shelf life (in days) of one-gallon cartons of milk. The population standard deviation is known from past studies. If the manufacturer wishes to be 95% confident of getting an estimate within 2 days of the true mean shelf life, what was the standard deviation (0) if the required sample size is 138.3 before rounding up?

A university dean wishes to estimate the average number of hours that freshmen study each week. The standard deviation from a previous study is a good indication that you can use 2.6 hours as the population standard deviation. How large a sample must be selected if the dean wants to be 96% confident of finding whether the true mean is within 45 minutes of the population mean?

A university dean wishes to estimate the average number of hours that freshmen study each week. The standard deviation from a previous study is a good indication that you can use 2.6 hours as the population standard deviation. How large a sample must be selected if the dean wants to be 93% confident of finding whether the true mean is within 45 minutes of the population mean? (6 points)
