5. Major League Baseball rules require that the balls used in baseball games must have circumferences between 9 and 9.25 inches. Suppose the balls produced by the factory that supplies balls to MLB have circumferences normally distributed with a mean of 9.125 inches and a standard deviation of 0.06 inches. What percentage of baseballs fail to meet the circumference requirement?

According to the Official Rules of Baseball, a baseball must have a circumference not more than 9.25 in or less than 9.00 in and a mass not more than 5.25 oz or less than 5.00 oz. What range of densities can a baseball be expected to have? Express this range as a single number with an accompanying uncertainty limit.

The standard deviation of the diameter of 18 baseballs was found to be 0.29 cm. Find the 95% confidence interval of the true variance of baseball diameters.

NCAA rules require the circumference of a softball to be $12 \pm 0.125$ inches. A softball manufacturer bidding on an NCAA contract is shown to meet the requirements for mean circumference. Suppose that the NCAA also requires that the standard deviation of the softball circumferences not exceed 0.05 inch. A representative from the NCAA believes the manufacturer does not meet this requirement. She collects a random sample of 20 softballs from the production line and finds that $s=0.09$ inch. Is there enough evidence to support the representative's belief at the $\alpha=0.05$ level of significance?
