Problem 6

Suppose a simple random sample of 150 students is drawn from a population of 3000
college students. Among sampled students, the average IQ score is 115 with a standard
deviation of 10. What is the 99% confidence interval for the students' IQ score?

Problem 7

The Acme Company has developed a new battery. The engineer in charge claims that the
new battery will operate continuously for at least 7 minutes longer than the old battery.

To test the claim, the company selects a simple random sample of 100 new batteries and
100 old batteries. The old batteries run continuously for 190 minutes with a standard
deviation of 20 minutes; the new batteries, 200 minutes with a standard deviation of 40
minutes.

Test the engineer's claim that the new batteries run at least 7 minutes longer than the old.
Use a 0.05 level of significance. (Assume that there are no outliers in either sample.)
