How many work cycles should be timed to estimate the average cycle time to within 2 percent of the sample mean with a confidence of 98.0 percent if a pilot study yielded these times (minutes): 4.1,4.6,5.1, 4.9, 5.9, and 4.4? The standard deviation is .631 minutes per cycle. (Use the "mean time" value to 2 decimal places and other values to 3 decimal places for intermediate calculations. Round up your final answer to the next whole number.) Number of work...
How large a sample should be selected so that the maximum error of estimate for a 99% confidence interval for the population mean is 2.1 Assume the population standard deviation is σ = 10.5
A sample of 15 workers reveals the following number of minutes spent traveling to work: 28 35 32 45 33 25 41 29 37 26 33 24 46 27 30 Develop a 99% confidence interval for the population mean.
24. Find the minimum sample size required to estimate a population proportion with a margin of error = 0.05 a confidence level of 90%, and from a prior study, p is estimated to be .25 (a) 203 (b) 329 (c) 247 (d) 396 (e) 289 25. In a survey of 385 students at Broward College, North Campus, results revealed that 154 students were born outside of the USA. Construct a 96% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of students who...
7. You want to estimate the mean weight loss of people one year after using a popular weight-loss (1 point) program being advertised on TV. How many people on that program must be surveyed if we want to be 95% confident that the sample mean weight loss is within 0.25 ib of the true population mean? Assume that the population standard deviation is known to be 10.6 lb. 6907 0 4865 O 84 O6906 3. Given the standard deviation of...
Records from a random sample of 40 couples applying for a marriage license in Denver yielded the following ages for the 40 women in years: 19 20 20 20 21 21 22 22 23 23 24 24 24 25 25 25 25 25 26 28 29 29 29 29 30 30 30 31 31 31 31 32 33 35 35 36 38 40 43 46. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean of the age of women getting married...
The New York City school board wants to estimate the mean size μ of AP statistics classes in New York City high schools. The board obtained the following random sample of AP statistics class sizes: 24 29 29 23 25 24 33 26 24 29 27 26 22 32 24 21 19 29 31 26 29 31 16 Question 1. Use the data above to construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean class size μ. (calculate y and s...
At Rachel's 11hirthday party, & girls were timed to see how long (in seconds) they could hold their breath in a relaxed position. After a two-minute rest, they timed themselves while jumping. The girls thought that the mean difference between their jumping and relaxed times would be zero. Test their hypothesis at the 5% level. Relaxed time (seconds) 25 46 Jumping time (seconds) 20 41 26 30 22 21 23 25 45 43 37 .75 29 32 NOTE: If you...
4) Now that Continental can detect more defects before the Silver Box is shipped, I decided process Improvements in its circuit board fabrication department would further improve quality. So, for one process they collected the following data this morning to set up a mean control chart. Since the process mean is unknown, estimate the mean and find the UCL and LCL for a 3-sigma mean control chart using this morning's samples. Sample 1 - 24, 24, 25, 22, 21 Sample...
you need to estimate the mean number of travel days per year for outside salespeople. The mean of a small pilot study was 150 days, with a standard deviation of 36 days. If you must estimate the population mean within 10 days, how many outside salespeople should you sample? Use the 95 percent confidence level. (Round up your answer to the next higher whole number.) Number of outside salespeople
