Assignment 5 (Estimation) A clinical trial (N = 30 patients) has been performed in which the mean of a new anti-diabetes drug has

been calculated as 10.2L. Calculate the 95% and 99% confidence limits of the mean value assuming that the data originated from a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 1.9L. 2. A healthcare company that specialises in the sterile packaging of disposable gloves has decided to perform a quality audit of the resistance of a batch of packaged disposable gloves to the ingress of unsterile air. Out of a batch of 2500 packages, 200 were removed and their sterility examined using the standard sterility tests. The results showed that 35 packages failed the sterility tests. Calculate the following on the basis of these observations: (a) Calculate the standard error of the proportion of defective gloves in the batch (population) (b) Calculate the 95% confidence limits for the proportion of defective gloves in the batch (population). 3. A restaurant owner wishes to find the 99% confidence interval of the true mean cost of a dry martini. How large should the sample be if she wishes to be accurate within $0.10? A previous study showed that the standard deviation of the price was $0.12. 4. The numbers in the excel sheet follow a normal distribution. Select a sample of five values and calculate the sample mean and sample standard deviation. Use the sample statistics to generate a 90% confidence interval. (a) The actual population mean, , is 70. Does the value of 70 fall within the interval you calculated? (b) If the actual value does not fall within an individual interval, does that mean you incorrectly calculated your confidence interval? (c) What confidence did you have that would fall within the interval? (d) Why doesn't your sample mean exactly equal ? (e) Why doesn't your sample variance exactly equal the population variance? The actual population variance is 15. (f) What would happen to the range of the interval if you used a sample of 25 instead of 5? 1.
