3. The quality control officer of Paumbong Food Industry, in milliliters (mL)randomly select 16 identical
bottles of Sukang Paumbong and measures their contents in ML. The measurements are as follows: 350, 357,
352, 360, 348, 355, 349, 363, 361, 355, 352, 357, 355, 350, 356 and 346. Assuming the contents is normally
distributed, determine the following:
a. The 95% CI for the mean contents of all the bottles of Sukang Paumbong. 5 points
Mean 354.13
Standard Error 1.22
Median 355.00
Mode 355.00
Standard Deviation 4.87
Sample Variance 23.72

b. The length of the 95% CI Interval for the mean contents of all the bottles of Sukang Paumbong. 5
points
Upperinterval 356.72
LowerInterval 351.53
Length 5.19005

4. A group of consumers conducted a research entitled, “Expenditures of Households in Class C

Municipalities”. The group asked 360 randomly selected households and found out that the average grocery
expenses per week is Php 3,755.00 with a standard deviation Php 1,112.00. Assuming a normal distribution.
a. Construct a 99% CI for the average grocery expenses per week of all households. 5 point
Therefore, we can be 99% confident that the true mean will be within (3604.03, 3905.97).

b. How large a sample is needed so that we can be 98% confident that true average grocery expenses per
week of all households will not be off by Php 100.00. 5 points
Therefore, we can be 98% confident that the true mean will be within (3618.68, 3891.32).

5. A study aims to determine the incidence of malnutrition among grade-1 students in Cavite. Of the 10 randomly
selected elementary schools in Cavite, 240 out of the 3660 grade-1 students are underweight.
a. Find the 96% CI on the true proportion of all underweight grade-1 students in Cavite.5 points
0.057<p<0.074

b. What is the length of the interval. 5 points
