A taxi company is interested in the amount of time its vehicles are out of operation for repair. Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of days in a month that all taxis are out of operation for repair. A random sample of nine taxis had the following number of days that each was in repair (Note that we are using sample data and must estimate the sample standard deviation using the sample formula.): 10 16 19 14...

Spend some time looking at the vehicles on the road. Look at the first 40 vehicles that drive by. Take note of the number of vehicles that are cars (sedans). Use the data you collect to construct confidence interval estimates of the proportion of vehicles that are cars (rather than trucks, vans, etc.). Report your confidence interval to the group. Why might people get different results? Is your sample likely a good representation of the total population of all vehicles?...

3. value: 10.00 points The manufacturer of the ColorSmart-5000 television set claims 95 percent of its sets last at least five years without needing a single repair. In order to test this claim, a consumer group randomly selects 352 consumers who have owned a ColorSmart-5000 television set for five years. Of these 352 consumers, 310 say their ColorSmart-5000 television sets did not need a repair, whereas 42 say their ColorSmart-5000 television sets did need at least one repair. (a) Find...

Option 1 or 2
Option 1: Think about a population mean that you may be interested in and propose a confidence interval problem for this parameter. Your data values should be approximately normal. For example, you may want to estimate the population mean number of times that adults go out for dinner each week. Your data could be that you spoke with seven people you know and found that they went out 2, 0, 1, 5, 0, 2, and 3...

Part A An automotive manufacturer wants to know the proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic. Step 2 of 2: Suppose a sample of 1269 new car buyers is drawn. Of those sampled, 914 preferred domestic rather than foreign cars. Using the data, construct the 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic cars. Round your answers to three decimal places. Part B The mean number of...

The Traveler Rent-A-Car Company is interested in estimating the mean number of miles its cars are driven on a particular holiday. It has 23,000 cars nationwide and samples 200 cars on the holiday in question. The mileage for each car was recorded. The following data were computed from the sample data: x bar = 54.5 s = 14.0 a. Produce a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean number of miles driven by each car. (8 pts) b. Traveler’s vice-president...

A laboratory in California is interested in finding the mean chloride level for a healthy resident in the state. A random sample of 100 healthy residents has a mean chloride level of 100 mEq/L If it is known that the chloride levels in healthy individuals residing in California have a standard deviation of 38 mEq/L, find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean chloride level of all healthy California residents. Then complete the table below. Carry your intermediate computations...

A laboratory in Washington is interested in finding the mean chloride level for a healthy resident in the state. A random sample of 100 healthy residents has a mean chloride level of 103 mEq/L. If it is known that the chloride levels in healthy individuals residing in Washington have a standard deviation of 39 mEq/, find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean chloride level of all healthy Washington residents. Then complete the table below. Carry your intermediate computations...
