Q5. We would like to estimate the true mean annual salary of all workers in a large union. What sample size is required to estimate the true mean salary to within $500 with 95% confidence? Q6. A simple random sample of size 49 is drawn from a normal population with a known standard deviation $sigma$. The 98% confidence interval for the population mean $mu$ is found to be (16, 20). What is the approximate population standard deviation $sigma$?

A hospital administrator believes that the standard deviation of the number of people using outpatient surgery per day is greater than 8. A random sample of 15 days is selected and yields a sample standard deviation of 9.5. Use test statistic approach at ̑ = 0.01, to test H0: ̑ ≤ 8 against HA: ̑ > 8. Assume the data are normally distributed.
