Practice Problems

\(\textbf{1)}\) We measure the lengths of 40 randomly chosen pieces of lumber, and get a mean length of 96 inches. The standard deviation of the length of lumber is .4 inches. Find the 95% confidence interval for the true mean length of the lumber.


\(\textbf{2)}\) We measure the weights of 36 randomly chosen statues, and get a mean weight of 15 lbs. The standard deviation of the weight of a statue is .6 lbs. Find the 90% confidence interval for the true mean weight of the statues.


\(\textbf{3)}\) We measure the weights of 55 randomly chosen oranges, and get a mean weight of 2 lbs. The standard deviation of the weight of an orange is .2 lbs. Find the 99% confidence interval for the true mean weight of the oranges.
