Question 1 of 20 1.0 Points

 

 

 

Accepted characters: numbers, decimal point markers (period or comma), sign indicators (-), spaces (e.g., as thousands separator, 5 000), “E” or “e” (used in scientific notation). NOTE: For scientific notation, a period MUST be used as the decimal point marker. Complex numbers should be in the form (a + bi) where “a” and “b” need to have explicitly stated values. For example: {1+1i} is valid whereas {1+i} is not. {0+9i} is valid whereas {9i} is not. You are trying to estimate the average amount a family spends on food during a year. In the past, the standard deviation of the amount a family has spent on food during a year has been f$sigma =f$  $1200. If you want to be 99% sure that you have estimated average family food expenditures within $60, how many families do you need to survey?  Place your answer, a whole number, in the blank . For example, 1234 would be a legitimate entry.

A marketing research consultant hired by Coca-Cola is interested in determining the proportion of customers who favor Coke over other soft drinks. A random sample of 400 consumers was selected from the market under investigation and showed that 53% favored Coca-Cola over other brands. Compute a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of people who favor Coke. Place your LOWER limit, rounded to 3 decimal places, in the first blank . For example, .345 would be a legitimate entry. Place your UPPER limit in the second blank . For example, .456 would be a legitimate entry.

Assume 50 random samples of the same sample size are taken from a population, and a 90% confidence interval is constructed from each sample. How many of the intervals would you expect to contain the true population mean? Answer: Round your answer to a whole number value as necessary.  For example, 37 would be a legitimate entry.

Senior management of a consulting services firm is concerned about a growing decline in the firm’s weekly number of billable hours. The firm expects each professional employee to spend at least 40 hours per week on work. In an effort to understand this problem better, management would like to estimate the standard deviation of the number of hours their employees spend on work-related activities in a typical week. Rather than reviewing the records of all the firm’s full-time employees, the management randomly selected a sample of size 51 from the available frame. The sample mean and sample standard deviations were 48.5 and 7.5 hours, respectively. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the number of hours this firm’s employees spend on work-related activities in a typical week. Place your LOWER limit, in hours, rounded to 1 decimal place, in the first blank. For example, 6.7 would be a legitimate entry. Place your UPPER limit, in hours, rounded to 1 decimal place, in the second blank. For example, 12.3 would be a legitimate entry.

A sample of 9 production managers with over 15 years of experience has an average salary of $71,000 and a sample standard deviation of $18,000. Assuming that the salaries of production managers with over 15 years experience are normally distributed, you can be 95% confident that the mean salary for all production managers with at least 15 years of experience is between what two numbers. Place your LOWER limit, rounded to a whole number, in the first blank. Do not use a dollar sign, a comma, or any other stray mark. For example, 54321 would be a legitimate entry. . Place your UPPER limit, rounded to a whole number, in the second blank. Do not use a dollar sign, a comma, or any other stray mark. For example, 65432 would be a legitimate entry.

A lawyer researched the average number of years served by 45 different justices on the Supreme Court. The average number of years served was 13.8 years with a standard deviation of 7.3 years. What is the 95% confidence interval estimate for the average number of years served by all Supreme Court justices? Place your limits, rounded to 1 decimal place, in the blanks. Place you lower limit in the first blank.  Place your upper limit in the second blank.  When entering your answer do not use any labels or symbols. Simply provide the numerical value. For example, 12.3 would be a legitimate entry.

The manufacturer of a new compact car claims the miles per gallon (mpg) for the gasoline consumption is mound-shaped and symmetric with a mean of 24.6 mpg and a standard deviation of 11.2 mpg.  If 30 such cars are tested, what is the probability the average mpg achieved by these 30 cars will be greater than 27? Answer:    Round your answer to 4 decimal places as necessary.  For example, 0.1357 would be a legitimate entry.
