Achievement test scores of all high school seniors in a state have a mean of 60 and a variance of 64. A random sample of n = 100 students from one large high school had a mean score of 58. Is there evidence to suggest that this high school is inferior? (Calculate the probability that the sample mean is at most 58 when n = 100.) Show the appropriate graph of the sample mean.
2. A brand of refrigerators, denoted A, is guaranteed for 1 year. In a random sample of 50 refrigerators of brand A, 12 were observed to fail before the guarantee period ended. Estimate the true proportion of failures during the guarantee period with a 98% confidence interval. State the conclusion sentence and find the point estimator for the population proportion.
3. A state wildlife service wants to estimate the mean number of days that each licensed hunter actually hunts during a given season, with a margin of error for estimation equal to 2 hunting days. If data collected in earlier surveys have shown Ļ to be approximately equal to 10, how many hunters must be included in the survey with a 90% confidence interval?
