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 pts

b. The length of the 95% CI Interval for the mean contents of all the bottles of Sukang Paumbong. 5 pts

INTERPRETATION
Therefore, we can be 95% confident that the mean content of all the bottles of Sukang
Paumbong will be within (333.4741 , 362.2759)

2. 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

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

3. 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

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

a. Find the 96% CI on the true proportion of all underweight grade-1 students in Cavite.5 points
