Question No. 01
Road and racing bicycles have an average wheel diameter
of 622mm. From a sample of 15 bicycles it was found
that the wheel diameters have a variance of 10mm. With
a 90% confidence level give a range where the variance
of all road and racing bicycle wheels lie.

Question No. 02
A Soda-pop company "Jim's Old Fashion Soda" is
designing their bottling machine. After making 41 bottles
they find that their bottles have an average of 335mL of
liquid with a standard deviation of 3mL. With a 99%
confidence level that this machine will output per bottle?

test. If the sample has a standard deviation of 12.23
points, find a 90% confidence interval for the population
variance.

Question No. 04
In performance measurement of investments, standard deviation
is a measure of volatility or risk. Twenty monthly returns from a
mutual fund show an average monthly return of 1 percent and a
sample standard deviation of 5 percent. Find a 95% confidence
interval for the monthly standard deviation of the mutual fund.

Question No. 05

Imagine that you have a part-time job making cookies at a


bakery. The bakery owner tells you that their cookies usually
vary in size with a standard deviation of only 0.2 inches in
diameter.
You pride yourself on making every cookie the same size, so
you decide to randomly sample 25 of your cookies to see if
their standard deviation is less than 0.2 inches.

Question No. 05
A large candy manufacturer produces, packages and sells packs of
candy targeted to weigh 52 grams. A quality control manager working
for the company was concerned that the variation in the actual
weights of the targeted 52-gram packs was larger than acceptable.
That is, he was concerned that some packs weighed significantly less
than 52-grams and some weighed significantly more than 52 grams.
In an attempt to estimate 𝝈, the standard deviation of the weights of
all of the 52-gram packs the manufacturer makes, he took a random
sample of n = 10 packs off of the factory line. The random sample
yielded a sample variance of 4.2 grams. Use the random sample to
derive a 95% confidence interval for 𝝈 .
