these results‚ the producer of the new‚ improved trash bag feels sure that its 30-gallon bag will be the strongest such bag on the market if the new trash bag’s mean breaking strength can be shown to be at least 50 pounds. The mean of the sample of 40 trash bag breaking strengths in Table 1.9 is x=50.575. If we let u denote the mean of the breaking strengths of all trash bags of the new type and assume that o equals 1.65: a. Calculate 95 percent and 99 percent confidence intervals for u. b.

Hypothesis: Ho: P = .10 (Mr. Plex and consortium will seriously consider settlement) H1: P < .10 (Mr. Plex and consortium will rigorously defend any lawsuit by Tommy) Analysis： For this case‚ we use 0.01 as the significance level. In a hypothesis test‚ a Type I Error occurs when the null hypothesis is rejected when it is in fact true. That means if the consortium decides to consider a settlement when greater than 10% of the patrons resented ads/commercials is true and we reject the null hypothesis

Chapter 8 29. The travel-to-work time for residents of the 15 largest cities in the United States is reported in the 2003 Information Please Almanac. Suppose that a preliminary simple random sample of residents of San Francisco is used to develop a planning value of 6.25 minutes for the population standard deviation. If we want to estimate the population mean travel-to-work time for San Francisco residents with a margin of error of 2 minutes‚ what sample size should be used? Assume 95% confidence
