Mary wishes to estimate the mean height of women aged 18 to 24 . She picks a sample of 100 women aged between 18 and 24 and constructs a 99% confidence interval for the population mean. If she were to repeat this procedure 300 times in total, she would obtain 300 different confidence intervals. How many of these intervals would you expect to contain the population mean, mu? Explain your thinking.

The director of a hospital wishes to estimate the mean number of people who are admitted to the emergency room during a 24-hour period. The director randomly selects 64 different 24-hour periods and determines the number of admissions for each. For this sample, sample mean is 19.5 and standard deviation is 25. Estimate the mean number of admissions per 24 hours period with 90% confidence interval.

An analyst for a large national credit union wishes to estimate the mean checking account at the institution. He selected a random sample of 40 accounts and used the data to calculate the following 90% confidence interval for the mean checking account balance at the institution: $2183 < u < $3828. Interpret this confidence interval. If we took random samples of checking accounts at this credit union, about nine out of ten of them would produce this confidence interval. We...
