The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have a standard deviation of 110 pounds. A random sample of 90 newly manufactured cables has a mean breaking strength of 1850 pounds. Based on this sample, find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean breaking strength of all cables produced by this manufacturer. Then compute the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place. (If necessary, consult...

QUESTIONS: ( 1 )(a)A government agency receives many consumer complaints that the boxes of detergents sold by a company contain less than the 20 oz. of detergents advertised. To check these consumers complaints, the agency purchases 49 boxes of the detergent and finds that the mean is 18 oz. with a standard deviation of 3 oz Conduct an appropriate statistical test of significance at the 5% level to determine if the firm could be held culpable of false advertisement. (b)Would...

A group of engineers developed a new design for a steel cable. They need to estimate the amount of weight the cable can hold. The weight limit will be reported on cable packaging. The engineers take a random sample of 45 cables and apply weights to each of them until they break. The mean breaking weight for the 45 cables is 768.2 lb. The standard deviation of the breaking weight for the sample is 15.1 lb. Using the sample information...

A group of engineers developed a new design for a steel cable. They need to estimate the amount of weight the cable can hold. The weight limit will be reported on cable packaging. The engineers take a random sample of 50 cables and apply weights to each of them until they break. The 50 cables have a mean breaking weight of 778.9 lb. The standard deviation of the breaking weight for the sample is 15.6 lb. Find the 95% confidence...

Gina wants to construct a 95% confidence interval for GMAT scores. She knows the standard deviation LaTeX: \sigma=113σ=113. She collects a simple random sample of size LaTeX: n=64n=64 and computes LaTeX: \bar{x}=526 What is the lower limit of this confidence interval? (Round to three decimal places.) What is the upper limit of this confidence interval? (Round to three decimal places.)

A musician is writing a new song and wants to know at which tempo he should write it to break onto the pop music charts. He takes a random sample of 100 pop songs and finds an average tempo of 131.9 bpm with a standard deviation of 14. Where applicable, use 3 decimals in the following answers. Please carry your intermediate calculations out to 4 decimal places. a) Find the upper limit for a 95% confidence interval for the average...

Question 4 of 4 (1 point) The average breaking strength of a certain brand of steel cable is 2000 pounds, with a standard deviation of 100 pounds. A sample of 20 cables is selected and tested. Find the sample mean that will cut off the upper 80% of all samples of size 20 taken from the population. Assume the variable is normally distributed. Round intermediatez-value calculations to 2 decimal places and round the final answer to 2 decimal places 6.3...

In a destructive test of product quality, a briefcase manufacturer places each of a simple random sample of the day’s production in a viselike device and measures how many pounds it takes to crush the case. From past experience, the standard deviation has been found to be 21.5pounds. For 35 cases randomly selected from today’s production, the average breaking strength was 341.0 pounds. The lower confidence limit of 99% confidence interval for the mean breaking strength of the briefcases produced...

Lifetimes of AAA batteries are approximately normally distributed. A manufacturer wants to estimate the standard deviation of the lifetime of the AAA batteries it produces. A random sample of 17 AAA batteries produced by this manufacturer lasted a mean of 11 hours with a standard deviation of 2.5 hours. Find a 95% confidence interval for the population standard deviation of the lifetimes of AAA batteries produced by the manufacturer. Then complete the table below.Carry your intermediate computations to at least...
