Suppose that a random sample of 25 mining caps was tested from a population of 3000 mining caps and 20 exploded properly. Give the lower limit of a 80% confidence interval for the proportion of mining caps that will explode properly.
If a random sample of 50 cups of soda dispensed from a machine showed the mean amount of soda dispensed was 7.9 ounces with s=0.35 ounces, find the confidence level if the margin of error is 0.11904?
the length of 5000 corn cobs produced from a local wholesaler are measured and recorded. the lengths X, are found to be normally distributed with a mean of 9cm and a variance of 0.25cm². Find the probability that a corn cob selected at random from the wholesaler has a length between 8.5cm and 9.25cm.
Experience has shown that the time taken to drive from city A to city B is normally distributed, with an average time (µ) of 65 minutes, and a standard deviation (σ) of 11 minutes. A sample of 88 driving trips between the two cities is randomly selected. Determine the standard error for this sample.

Select one:
a. do not reject the null hypothesis
b. reject the null hypothesis
c. only reject when the test statistic is negative
d. not enough information to determine
