Step 1
The sample weights are normally distributed. We want to find the upper bound of a confidence interval, which is given by $\bar{x} + E$, where E is the margin of error. Show more…

The sample mean, x̄, is 25 g. The estimated standard deviation, s, is 4.5 g. The sample size is 15 and the weights are normally-distributed. Calculate a 90% two-sided confidence interval for a future random weight from this population, rounded to two decimal places. 1. Upper confidence interval limit = 4.5 2. Lower confidence interval limit = 25

To estimate the mean weight of the adult females in a certain region, a simple random of 40 women are selected and the mean of the weights in the sample is 146.2 lb. and the standard deviation of the weights in the sample is 37.6 lb. Write the upper-end* of a 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean of all adult females in this region based on this sample. round your answer to two digits after the decimal sign. *: Example: upper end of the interval (5.87, 8.91) is 8.91

Assume the weight of a bag of peanut M&Ms is normally distributed with a mean of 115.75 grams and a standard deviation of 16.8 grams. What would be the lowest weight, on average, of 52 randomly sampled M&M bags in order for that weight to be in the 84th percentile of all possible 52-bag averages? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
