16. The following are interest rates (annual percentage rates) for a 30-year-fixed-rate mortgage from a sample of lenders in a certain city. It is reasonable to assume that the population is approximately normal. 4.327, 4.461, 4.547, 4.813, 4.365, 4.772, 4.842. Find the upper bound of the 99% confidence interval for the mean rate. Round three decimal places.
4. A survey of high school students revealed that the number of soft drinks consumed per month was normally distributed with mean 25 and standard deviation 15. A sample of 36 students was selected. What is the probability that the average number of soft drinks consumed per month for the sampling was between 26.0 and 30 soft drinks (Round 4 decimal places ex. 0.0048)
6. According to one pollster, 59% of children are afraid of the dark. Suppose that a sample size of 30 is drawn. Find the value of p^, the standard deviation of the distribution of sample proportions. Round to two decimal places.

Since μ = 25 and σ = 15 we have:
P ( 26 < X < 30 ) =
= P ( (26 − 25) / (15/sqrt(36)) < (X−μ) / (σ/sqrt(n)) < (30−25) /(15/sqrt(36))
= P ( (26 − 25) / (15/6) < (X−μ) / (σ/sqrt(n)) < (30−25) /(6)
Since Z = (x−μ) / (σ/sqrt(n))
P ( 28.9 < X < 30 ) = P ( 1.56 < Z < 2 )
Use the standard normal table to conclude that:
P ( 1.56 < Z < 2 ) = P ( Z < 2 ) − P (Z < 0.4 )
= 0.9772 - 0.6554
= 0.3218
# probabilty thataverage number of soft drinks consumed per month for the sampling was between 26.0 and 30 soft drinks is 0.3218

Be sure to carefully follow the instructions about entering your answer. In most open-answer problems, only a number is required (i.e., no units, no percentage sign, etc...). Pay close attention to the number of decimal places requested. You should use a TI-84 PLUS calculator for all procedures where appropriate.

What are you drinking? Environmental Protection Agency standards require that the amount of lead in drinking water be less than 1 micrograms per liter. Eleven samples of water from a particular source have the following concentrations, in units of micrograms per liter. Assume the population standard deviation is . If appropriate, perform a hypothesis test to determine whether you can conclude that the mean concentration of lead meets the EPA standards. Use the 0.03...
