1. The diameter of holes for a cable harness is known to have a normal

distribution with σ = 0.01 inch. A random sample of size 10 yields an
average diameter of 1.5045 inch. Find a 99% two-sided confidence
interval on the mean hole diameter!
2. A manufacturer produces piston rings for an automobile engine. It is
known that ring diameter is normally distributed with σ = 0.001
millimeters. A random sample of 15 rings has a mean diameter of x = .
74 036 millimeters.
(a) Construct a 99% two-sided confidence interval on the mean piston
ring diameter.
(b) Construct a 99% lower-confidence bound on the mean piston ring
diameter. Compare the lower bound of this confidence interval with
the one in part (a).
3. An article in the Journal of Composite Materials (December 1989, Vol.
23, p. 1200) describes the effect of delamination on the natural
frequency of beams made from composite laminates. Five such
delaminated beams were subjected to loads, and the resulting
frequencies (in hertz) were as follows:
230.66, 233.05, 232.58, 229.48, 232.58
Check the assumption of normality in the population. Calculate a 90%
two-sided confidence interval on mean natural frequency.
4. The compressive strength of concrete is being tested by a civil
engineer who tests 12 specimens and obtains the following data:
2216 2237 2249 2204
2225 2301 2281 2263
2318 2255 2275 2295
(a) Construct a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the mean
strength.
(b) Construct a 95% lower conidence bound on the mean strength.
Compare this bound with the lower bound of the two-sided
confidence interval and discuss why they are different.
5. An article in Cancer Research [“Analyses of Litter-Matched
Time-to-Response Data, with Modii cations for Recovery of Interlitter
Information” (1977, Vol. 37, pp. 3863– 3868)] tested the tumorigenesis
of a drug. Rats were randomly selected from litters and given the drug.
The times of tumor appearance were recorded as follows:
101, 104, 104, 77, 89, 88, 104, 96, 82, 70, 89, 91, 39, 103, 93, 85, 104, 104,
81, 67, 104, 104, 104, 87, 104, 89, 78, 104, 86, 76, 103, 102, 80, 45, 94,
104, 104, 76, 80, 72, 73
Calculate a 95% confidence interval on the standard deviation of time
until a tumor appearance.
6. A rivet is to be inserted into a hole. A random sample of n = 15 parts is
selected, and the hole diameter is measured. The sample standard
deviation of the hole diameter measurements is s = 0.008 millimeters.
Construct a 99% lower coni - dence bound for σ2 .
7. The 2004 presidential election exit polls from the critical state of Ohio
provided the following results. The exit polls had 2020 respondents,
768 of whom were college graduates. Of the college graduates, 412
voted for George Bush.
a) Calculate a 95% conidence interval for the proportion of college
graduates in Ohio who voted for George Bush.
b) Calculate a 95% lower conidence bound for the proportion of
college graduates in Ohio who voted for George Bush.
8. The Arizona Department of Transportation wishes to survey state
residents to determine what proportion of the population would like to
increase statewide highway speed limits from 65 mph to 75 mph. How
many residents does the department need to survey if it wants to be at
least 99% confident that the sample proportion is within 0.05 of the true
proportion?
