A random sample of 100 recorded deaths in the United States during the past year showed an average life span of 71.8 years, with a standard deviation of 8.9 years. Does this seem to indicate that the average life span today is greater than 70 years? Use a 0.05 level of significance. The computed value is

1) How many joules are required to raise the temperature of 450 mL of water from 30°C to 100°C?
2) The specific heat of copper metal is 0.385 J/g °K. How many kJ of heat are needed to raise the temperature of 1.1 kg block of copper from 27.5°C to 50°C?
A biology class was performing an experiment in the lab. The students had obtained a DNA strand with radioactive thymine. Later as they left the strand in a medium for multiplication, they realized that the radioactivity was observed only in part of the DNA and not all DNA molecules.The process was explained by the teacher as:
A. Find the length of the confidence interval (s = standard deviation)
1. s = 3
n = 250
Confidence level = 95%
2. s = 6
n = 400
Confidence level = 99%
B. Determine the sample size, given the following data.
1. s = 5
E = 2.42
Confidence level = 95%
2. You want to estimate the mean gasoline price within your town to the margin of error of 6 centavos. Local newspaper reports the standard deviation for gas price in the area is 30 centavos. What sample size is needed to estimate the mean gas prices at 99% confidence level?
3. Carlos wants to replicate a study where the highest observed value is 14.8 while the lowest is 14.2. He wants to estimate the population mean µ to the margin of error of 0.025 of its true value. Using 95% confidence level, find the sample size n that he need.
A. Find the length of the following confidence interval.
1. Upper limit = 0.995
Lower Limit = 0.437
2. Upper limit = 394.14
Lower Limit = 354.74
3. Upper limit = 0.02946
Lower Limit = 0.02244
4. 0.475 < p < 0.735
5. 0.355 < p < 0.570
