Solution:
Given: A sample of n = 6 tubs of 5% sour cream had the actual fat content measured and a 95% confidence interval was reported as (5.11 , 5.69).
= The true average fat content in the population.
We have a 95% confidence interval (5.11 , 5.69), both the limits are greater than 5, thus we can conclude that population mean fat content is greater than 5.
Thus correct answer is:
A: There is evidence that
> 5.

Question 5. A random sample of 50 bottles of a brand of cough syrup is selected, and the alcohol content of each bottle is measured. Let μ be the mean alcohol content for the population of all bottles of the brand under consideration. The 95% confidence interval estimated from the data is (7.8 μ 9.4). (a) would a 90% confidence interval calculated from the same sample be wider or narrower? Explain. (b) Consider the statement: there is a 95% chance...
