The quality control manager of a tire company wishes to estimate the tensile strength of a standard size of rubber used to make a class of radial tires. A random sample of 50 pieces of rubber from different production batches is subjected to a stress test. The test measures the force needed to break the rubber in pounds. According to the sample results, the average pressure is 173 pounds. The podulation variance Is known to be 1225 pounds2. Construct a...

9. Suppose that a milk producer wishes to estimate the mean shelf life (in days) of one-gallon cartons of milk. The population standard deviation is known from past studies. If the manufacturer wishes to be 95% confident of getting an estimate within 2 days of the true mean shelf life, what was the standard deviation (0) if the required sample size is 138.3 before rounding up?

A soccer ball manufacturer wants to estimate the mean circumference of soccer balls within 0.13 inch. (a) Determine the minimum sample size required to construct a 99%confidence interval for the population mean. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.6 inch. (b) The sample mean is 28.2 inches. With a sample size of 152, a 99% level of confidence, and a population standard deviation of 0.60 inch, does it seem possible that the population mean could be less than 28.3 inches?...

Part 1). A pension analyst wishes to estimate the mean age at which federal employees retire. What sample size is needed if the analyst desires that the width of the confidence interval for a 95% CI for the true mean age is not greater than 1 year? (Based on previous studies, she assumes the population standard deviation is 3.5.) Part 2). After completing this calculation, the analyst wishes to understand how different factors influence the sample size calculation for this...
