Problem 1. A random sample of 60 male honey badgers
weights has a sample mean of 27 lbs. The sample sd is
6lbs. Find a 92% confidence interval for the mean badgers
weight. Oh you can't. Assume that honey badger weights
and normally distributed. (No, I didn't go to Africa and
weight honey badgers. I made it all up.)
Problem 2. A set of 20 groundwater samples has a sample
mean temperature of 21 degrees C. The standard deviation is
known to be 3 degrees C. Find a 90% confidence interval for
the mean.
Problem 3. A random sample of 50 cars in Okay OK gets a
mean gas mileage of 25.5 mpg per vehicle. Assume the population
standard deviation is 7.6 mpg. Find a 90, 95 and 99% confidence
interval for the mean.
