A large corporation wants to estimate the average number of days of its employees telecommute (work from home). A pilot study found that the average was 150 days per year with an SD of 14 days. If the average is to be estimated to within two days with 90% confidence, how many employees should the company include in its sample?

A multinational corporation employing several thousand workers at its campus in a large city would like to estimate the proportion of its employees who commute to work by any means other than automobile. The company hopes to use the information to develop a proposal to encourage more employees to forgo their automobiles as a part of their commute.

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.
