 Soalan 2
The manager of a paint supply store wants to estimate the actual amount of
paint contained in 1-gallon cans purchased from a nationally known
manufacturer. It is known from the manufacturer’s specifications that the
standard deviation of the amount of paint is equal to 0.02 gallon. A random
sample of 50 cans is selected, and the sample mean amount of paint per 1-
gallon can is 0.995 gallon.

a) Set up a 99% confidence interval estimate of the true population mean

amount of paint included in a 1-gallon can.
b) On the basic of your results, do you think that the manager has a right to
complaint to the manufacturer? Why?
c) Does the population amount of paint per can have to be normally
distributed here? Explain.

manager has a right to complaint to the manufacturer?
Why?

Sudah tahu bertanya pula.

• Semestinya tidak. keyakinan sebanyak 99% telah diletakkan

bahawa min sampel yang diberi iaitu 0.995 gallon berada di

Answers (For Q2.c)
•  Does the population amount of paint per can have
to be normally distributed here? Explain.

Jawapan:
Ini lagilah tidak,
Selagi saiz sampel adalah besar , taburan sampel akan
menghampiri normal.
 Question 3
The owner of Britten’s egg Farm wants to estimate the mean number of
eggs laid per chicken. A sample of 20 chickens shows they laid an
average of 20 eggs per month with a standard deviation of 2 eggs per
month.

a. What is the value of the population mean? What is the best estimate of
this value?
b. Explain why we need to use the t distribution. What assumption do you
need to make?
c. For a 95% confidence interval, what is the value of t?
d. Develop the 95% confidence interval for the population mean.
e. Would it be reasonable to conclude that the population mean is 21
eggs?
What about 25 eggs?
Answers(For Q3)
a. What is the value of the population mean? What is the
best estimate of this value?
• Benda yang sah-sah tak tahu. Jangan ditanya, buang masa.
• Min tidak dapat diketahui.
• Tapi takpe, anggaran terbaik bagi min populasi ialah 20 biji telur setiap
bulan, sama dengan min sampel.

b. Explain why we need to use the t distribution. What

assumption do you need to make?
• Nilai sisihan piawai tidak diketahui. Saiz sampel adalah kecil n<30.
Jadi, taburan t lebih sesuai digunakan.
• Anggapan yang boleh dibuat ialah sampel diambil secara rawak dan
bilangan telur adalah bertabur secara normal.

Answers(Q3.e)
Would it be reasonable to conclude that the
population mean is 21 eggs? What about 25 eggs?
Jawapan:
Dah sah-sah 21, buat apa nak kaitkan dengan 25 pulak.
Min populasi 21 telur adalah lebih munasabah kerana anggaran min
hanya dalam lingkungan 19 hingga 21.
25 telur tidak munasabah kerana nilai terlalu jauh.
Question 4
Based on its 1999 survey, Students Monitor reports that 20% of
U.S. college students used the Internet for job hunting during
month preceding the survey. Assuming this finding to be based
on a simple random sample of 1600 college students, construct
and interpret the 90% confidence interval for the population
proportion of college students who used the internet for job
hunting during this period
