A survey of a simple random sample of 140 dieters revealed that the numbers of times they “cheated” on their diets had a mean of 7.0 times per week. Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the mean number of times dieters “cheat” on their diets each week. Assume that the population standard deviation is 1.5 times per week.

4. A survey asked a random sample of 363 first-year students how many hours they studied during a particular week. The mean was 15.3 hours. Suppose we know that the population standard deviation is 8.5 hours. Construct a 90%, 95% and 99% confidence interval for the mean study time of all first year students at this university. Interpret the 90% confidence interval.
A. A random sample of 32 different juice drinks has a mean of 98 calories per serving and a standard deviation of 31.5 calories. Construct a 99% confidence interval of the population mean number of calories per serving, and interpret the 99% confidence interval in 1 sentence: B.
