Estimation

A company is planning a large telephone survey and is


interested in assessing how long it will take. In a short
pilot study, 40 people are contacted by telephone and
asked the specified set of questions. The times of these
telephone surveys have a sample mean of 9.39 minutes
with standard deviation of 1.041 minutes. Construct a 95
% confidence interval.
Estimation
An article in the journal of material engineering
describes the loads of specimens as following
information 15.4, 11.4, 19.5, 10.1, 18.5, 14.1, 8.8, 14.9,
7.9, and 11.4. If population standard deviation is 4 find
the 99% confidence interval for the mean.
Estimation
In order to ensure efficient usage of a server, it is
necessary to estimate the mean number of concurrent
users. According to records, the average number of
concurrent users at 100 randomly selected times is 37.7,
with standard deviation 9.2. Construct a 92 %
confidence interval.
Estimation
A random Sample of 10 boys had the followings I.Q’s
70, 120, 110, 101, 88, 83, 95, 107, 100, and 98.
Find the 95% confidence interval for the population
mean. Assume that IQ’s are normally distributed and the
variance is not known.
Testing Of Hypothesis
A process is in control when the average amount of
instant coffee that is packed in a jar, is 6 oz. The
standard deviation is 0.2 oz. A sample of 100 jars is
selected at random and the sample average is found to
be 6.1 oz. Is the process out of control?
Estimation and Testing of Hypothesis
In order to ensure efficient usage of a server, it is necessary to
estimate the mean number of concurrent users. According to
records, the average number of concurrent users at 100
randomly selected times is 37.7, with standard deviation 9.2.
 Construct a 90 % one sided confidence interval that
provides an upper limit on average number of concurrent
users.[tabulated value=1.282]
 At the 1% significance level, do these data provide
significance evidence that the mean number of concurrent
users is greater than 35? [tabulated value=2.326]
Estimation and Testing of Hypothesis

study, 40 people are contacted by telephone and asked the
specified set of questions. The times of these telephone
surveys have a sample mean of 9.39 minutes with standard
deviation of 1.041 minutes.
 Can the company safely conclude that the telephone
surveys will last on average no more than 10 minutes
each?[𝛼 = 3%]
 Construct a 95 % one sided confidence interval that
provides an upper limit on average time of each telephone
call.
Testing of Hypothesis
Trying to encourage people to stop driving to campus,
the university claims that on average it takes people 30
minutes to find a parking space on campus. I don’t think
it takes so long to find a spot. In fact I have a sample of
the last five times I drove to campus, and I calculated
mean 20. Assuming that the time it takes to find a
parking spot is normal, and that 𝜎= 6 minutes, then
perform a hypothesis test with level α=4% to see if my
claim is correct.
