17.Solution:
n=335 p=142/335 = 0.4238
H0: 0.40
H1: > 0.40
= sqrt((0.4*0.6)/335) = 0.02676
Z^ = 0.4238 0.4 /0.02676 = 0.8893 = 0.894
1. Solution:
Given Data:
m = 16, s = 0.24, n = 16, x = 16.08
s(x-bar) = s/n
= 0.24/16
= 0.06
P (x-bar>=16.08) = P( Z >= (x - m)/s(x-bar))
P (x-bar>=16.08) = 1 - P( Z <= (x - m)/s(x-bar))
= 1 P (Z<= (16.08 16.0)/0.06
= 1 P(Z<=0.08/0.06)
= 1 - P(Z<=1.33)
= 1 0.9082
= 0.0918
= 9.18 %

2. A sample of 16 items yields = 50 grams and s = 2.5 grams. Assuming a normal population
distribution, construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the population mean weight.
N = 16
S = 2.5
X = 50
sigma(x)= 2.5/sqrt(16)
=2.5/4
=0.625
MOE= tvalue * sigma(x)
df = n-1 = 16-1=15
= 2.131 * 0.625 (since t15 = 2.131)
= 1.331
MOE = 50 + 1.331
48.668 to 51.331

3. Of a random sample of 600 trucks at a bridge, 120 had bad signal lights. Construct a 99
percent confidence interval for the percentage of trucks that had bad signal lights.
ANS: P= 120/600 = 0.2
= (0.2 * 0.8/600) = 0.0163
MOE = Z0.1 * sp
MOE = 2.576 * 0.0163
= 0.04198
=0.2+ 0.04198

4.
p= 0.25
MOE = Zvalue * sigma(p)
where sigma(p) =sqrt(p(1-p))/n
(0.03)2 = (1.96)2 * (0.25*0.75)/n
n = (3.84*0.1875)/0.0009
= 0.7203/0.0009
= 7203/9
= 800

5. Test H0: m 8 versus HA: m < 8, given a=.01, n=36, =7.8 and s=.42. Assume the sample is
selected from a normally distributed population.
ANS: Ho Rejected
Ho : 8
HA : < 8
= 0.42/ 36 = 0.27
t^ = (7.8 8)/ 0.07 = 2.857
t.0135 = 2.438 > 2.857
Ho Rejected

6. Test H0: 0.22 versus HA: > 0.22 with p =.28 and n=144 at alpha=.01.
N = 144
P = 0.28
H0: <= 0.22
HA: > 0.22
sp = sqrt (0.22(1-022))/144
= sqrt(0.22(0.78))/144
= 0.034
Z = (0.28-0.22)/0.034
= 0.06/0.034
= 1.764
Z< Z0.01c Do not reject.
