Will Byers wants to buy a new computer to spy on Russians with, but needs a very good one. There is a computer company that claims that one of their models will get a 3DMark performance test score of 20000 (or greater). He buys a sample of 8 computers and got the following scores: 19883, 19825, 19938, 20008, 19984, 20044, 19807, 19869. Assume that the scores are normally distributed. Will is suspicious that the company’s claim is false. He manages to convince the company to allow him to test a larger sample of 150 computers at their warehouse for free. He found that only 60 of them scored 20000 or higher.
(a) Construct an 96% Confidence Interval Upper Bound for the overall proportion of performance test scores that are at least 20000.
(b) Construct an 96% 2-sided Confidence Interval for the overall proportion of performance test scores that are at least 20000.

Exercise 3 Hannibal wants to estimate the true average brain mass, u, but he is locked in a cell with no internet and only has a scale. He collects a small random sample of size n = 5 from nearby prison guards. He find that these brains have the following weights: 1320g, 1400g, 1300g, 1460g, 1350g Suppose that human brains follow a normal distribution, and that Hannibal's sample is representative of the entire population. a.

The university data center has two main computers. The center wants to examine whether computer 1 is receiving tasks that require processing times comparable to those of computer 2. A random sample of 9 processing times from computer I showed a mean of 52 seconds with a standard deviation of 19 seconds, while a random sample of 14 processing times from computer 2 (chosen independently of those for computer 1) showed a mean of 56 seconds with a standard deviation...

Kindergarten places in New York City are very competitive; the acceptance rate at several public schools is lower than that of Columbia University. For one particular school, children are required to do a test with a school-appointed psychologist, and following is a random sample of 10 test scores: 101 107 117 120 115 107 112 109 101 111. (c) Assuming the test scores have a normal distribution, construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. (d) Interpret the confidence...

00 Pilots who cannot maintain regular sleep hours due to their work schedule often suffer from insomnia. A recent study on sleeping patterns of pilots focused on quantifying deviations from regular sleep hours. A random sample of 15 commercial airline pilots was interviewed, and the pilots in the sample reported the time at which they went to sleep on their most recent working day. The study gave the sample mean and standard deviation of the times reported by plots, with...

A survey asked, "How many tattoos do you currently have on your body?" Of the 1211 males surveyed, 193 responded that they had at least one tattoo. Of the 1089 females surveyed, 147 responded that they had at least one tattoo. Construct a 99% confidence interval to judge whether the proportion of males that have at least one tattoo differs significantly from the proportion of females that have at least one tattoo. Interpret the interval. Let P, represent the...

The owner of a golf course wants to determine if his golf course is more difficult than the one his friend owns. He has 11 golfers play a round of 18 holes on his golf course and records their scores. Later that week, he has the same 11 golfers play a round of golf on his friend's course and records their scores again. The average difference in the scores (treated as the scores on his course - the scores on...
