Chapter 8, Section 8.3, Problem 21

An entomologist sprayed 120 adult Melon flies with a specific low concentration of malathion and observed their survival times. The mean and standard deviation were found to be 18.3 and 5.1 days, respectively. Use these data to construct a 99% confidence interval for the true mean survival time. Round endpoints to one decimal place. Confidence interval =  http://edugen.wiley.com/edugen/art2/common/pixel.gif[removed], http://edugen.wiley.com/edugen/art2/common/pixel.gif[removed]  days

Chapter 9, Section 9.2, Problem 10

Recorded here are the germination times (number of days) for seven seeds of a new strain of snap bean.

12 16 15 49 17 11 18

Determine a 95% confidence interval for the true mean germination time for this strain. Assume that measurements are normally distributed.

Round to two decimal places.

Chapter 9, Section 9.2, Problem 14

The monthly rent (dollars) for a two-bedroom apartment on the west side of town was recorded for a sample of ten apartments.

950 745 875 820 1030 920 840 1085 650 895

Obtain a 95% confidence interval for the mean monthly rent for two-bedroom apartments. Assume that measurements are normally distributed.

Round to two decimal places.
