    1. A consumer watchdog organization estimates the mean weight of 1-ounce "Fun-Size" candy
    bars to see if customers are getting full value for their money. A random sample of 25 bars is
    8.1

    selected and weighed, and the organization reports that a 90% confidence interval for the true
    mean weight of the candy bars is 0.992 to 0.998 ounces.

    getting in the first few months of school. She asks a simple random sample of 20 students^
    how much sleep they got the previous night and constructs a 95% confidence interval for the
    mean amount of sleep in hours.

    I (a)lDiscuss whether this study meets the necessary conditions for constructing a confidence
    ••—^interval. If you think one of the conditions has not been met, what additional information
    would be required or what change in the study would you recommend?

    1. Suppose you know that the distribution of finishing times for a certain crossword puzzle has
    a mean of 25 minutes, a standard deviation of 8 minutes, and is moderately skewed left. You
    take an SRS of 4_5_finish times from this distribution and calculate the mean finish time, x.

    aquatic larvae of the Phantom Midge Chaoborus albatus to be 6.9 to 8.5 mm, based on a
