Chapter 8: Q 7. (page 507)

10Bottling cola A particular type of diet cola advertises that each can contains 12 ounces of the beverage. Each hour, a supervisor selects cans at random, measures their contents, and computes a 95%confidence interval for the true mean volume. For one particular hour, the 95%confidence interval is 11.97ounces to 12.05ounces.

a. Does the confidence interval provide convincing evidence that the true mean volume is different than 12ounces? Explain your answer.

b. Does the confidence interval provide convincing evidence that the true mean volume is 12ounces? Explain your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The confidence interval does not provide convincing evidence that the true mean volume is different than 12ounces.

b. The confidence interval does not provide convincing evidence that the true mean volume is12ounces.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that for 95%, the true mean volume is(11.97 ounces,12.05ounces)

02

a. Determination if the confidence interval provide convincing evidence that the true mean volume is different than given.

It means that volume 12ounces true mean volume is likely.

It implies that there is no evidence that true mean is different than12ounces.

03

b. Determination if the confidence interval provide convincing evidence that the true mean volume is 12 ounces.

12is coming in interval (11.97 ounces,12.05ounces)/ It means that there is likely that 12ounces in the volume.

All volume in between is also equally likely to be right mean volume. Hence, there is no assurance that 12ounces is the true mean volume.

Hence, prediction is not true.

Blood pressure A medical study finds that x炉=114.9and sx=9.3

for the seated systolic blood pressure of the 27randomly selected adults. What is the standard error of the mean? Interpret this value in context.

How confident? The figure shows the result of taking 25SRSs from a Normal population and constructing a confidence interval for the population mean using each sample. Which confidence level鈥�80%,90%,95%,or99%鈥攄o you think was used? Explain your reasoning.

In preparing to construct a one-sample t interval for a population mean, suppose we are not sure if the population distribution is Normal. In which of the following circumstances would we not be safe constructing the interval based on an SRS of size14from the population?

a. A stemplot of the data is roughly bell-shaped.

b. A histogram of the data shows slight skewness.

c. A boxplot shows that the values above the median are much more variable than the values below the median.

d. The sample standard deviation is large.

e. The sample standard deviation is small.

Suppose we want a 90% confidence interval for the average amount spent on books by freshmen in their first year at a major university. The interval is to have a margin of error of \(2. Based on last year鈥檚 book sales, we estimate that the standard deviation of the amount spent will be close to \)30. The number of observations required is closest to

(a) 25. (b) 30. (c) 608. (d) 609. (e) 865.
