QUIZ 1
LARGE SAMPLE CONFIDENCE INTERVAL FOR THE POPULATION MEAN
DIRECTIONS: Read and analyze each question carefully. Write your answer on the space provided. WRITE THE
CONFIDENCE LEVEL IN DECIMALS. Round off your answer to the nearest hundredths (two decimal places).
A. In order to estimate the mean amount of damage sustained by vehicles when a deer is struck, an insurance
company examined the records of 50 such occurrences, and obtained a sample mean of $2,785 with sample
standard deviation $221. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of damage in all such
accidents.

5 – 7. Solution:
B. A corporation that owns apartment complexes wishes to estimate the average length of time residents remain in
the same apartment before moving out. A sample of 150 rental contracts gave a mean length of occupancy
of 3.7 years with standard deviation 1.2 years. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean length of
occupancy of apartments owned by this corporation.

CONFIDENCE LEVEL IN DECIMALS. Round off your answer to the nearest hundredths (two decimal places).
A. To estimate the number of calories in a cup of diced chicken breast meat, the number of calories in a sample of
four separate cups of meat is measured. The sample mean is 211.8 calories with sample standard deviation 0.9
calorie. Assuming the caloric content of all such chicken meat is normally distributed, construct a 95% confidence
interval for the mean number of calories in one cup of meat.

each number.
PROBLEM SOLVING #1. Information about a random sample is given. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the
population proportion. (5 pts)
a. n = 200, ^p = 0.85
PROBLEM SOLVING #2. In a random sample of 250 employed people, 61 said that they bring work home with them at
