- Suppose we have data from a sample. The sample mean is 15, and the error bound for the mean is 3.2. What is the confidence interval estimate for the population mean?
- Suppose average pizza delivery times are normally distributed with an unknown population mean and a population standard deviation of six minutes. A random sample of 28 pizza delivery restaurants is taken and has a sample mean delivery time of 36 minutes.
Find a 90% confidence interval estimate for the population mean delivery time. Write an interpretation.
- How many adults must be randomly selected to estimate the mean FICO (credit rating) score of working adults in the United States? We want 95% confidence that the sample mean is within 3 points of the population mean, and the population standard deviation is 68.

- The table below shows a different random sampling of 20 cell phone models. Use this data to calculate a 93% confidence interval for the true mean SAR for cell phones certified for use in the United States. As previously, assume that the population standard deviation is σ= 0.337. And write an interpretation.
