A survey of 30 emergency room patients found that the average waiting time for treatment was
174.3 minutes. Assuming that the population standard deviation is 46.5 minutes, find the 99%
confidence of the population mean.

2. A researcher wishes to estimate, with 95% confidence, the proportion of people who own a
home computer. A previous study shows that 40% of those interviewed had a computer at home.
The researcher wishes to be accurate within 2% of the true proportion. Find the minimum
sample size necessary.

3. A cigarette manufacturer wishes to test the claim that the variance of the nicotine content of its
cigarettes is 0.644. Nicotine content is measured in milligrams, and assume that it is normally
distributed. A sample of 20 cigarettes has a standard deviation of 1.00 milligram. At a 0.05, is
there enough evidence to reject the manufacturer’s cl

4. The Edison Electric Institute has published figures on the number of kilowatt hours used
annually by various home appliances. It is claimed that a vacuum cleaner uses an average of 46
kilowatt hours per year. If a random sample of 12 homes included in a planned study indicates
that vacuum cleaners use an average of 42 kilowatt hours per year with a standard deviation of
11.9 kilowatt hours, does this suggest at the 0.05 level of significance that vacuum cleaners use,
on average, less than 46 kilowatt hours annually? Assume the population of kilowatt hours to
be normal.

5. A builder claims that heat pumps are installed in 70% of all homes being constructed today in
the city of Richmond, Virginia. Would you agree with this claim if a random survey of new
homes in this city showed that 8 out of 15 had heat pumps installed? Use a 0.10 level of
significance.

of cigarettes manufactured if a sample of 20 cigarettes has a standard deviation of 1.6
milligrams.
