One-sample t-interval for the mean When the conditions are met, we are ready to find the confidence interval for the population mean, μ. The confidence interval is y t n 1 SE y where the standard error of the mean is s SE y n * The critical value tn 1 depends on the particular confidence level, C, that you specify and on the number of degrees of freedom, n – 1, which we get from the sample size. HW 11 - PROBLEM 7 Students investigating the packaging potato chips purchased 6 bags of chips from Kroger marked with a net weight of 28.1 grams. They weighed the contents of each bag, recording the weight as follows: 29.2, 28.2, 29.1, 28.5, 28.8, 28.6 Slide 1- 4 DATA: 29.2, 28.2, 29.1, 28.5, 28.8, 28.6 Find the Sample mean Sample standard deviation Create 95% confidence interval for the mean weight Slide 1- 5 THIS DATA IS ON THE WEIGHT OF A BAG OF POTATO CHIPS. INTERPRET THE 95% CI 95% of all bags of chips will have a mean weight that falls within the interval 2. 95% of the chips will be contained in the 0% interval 3. The interval contains the true mean weight of 0% the contents of a bag of chips 95% of the time 4. We are 95% confident that the interval contains 100% the true mean weight of the contents of a bag of chips. 0%1. Slide 1- 6 COMMENT ON THE COMPANY’S STATE NET WEIGHT OF 28.1G Since the interval is ABOVE the stated weight of 28.1 grams, there is evidence that the company is filling 92% the bags to MORE than the stated weight, ON AVERGAGE. 2. Since the interval is BELOW the stated weight of 28.1 grams, there is evidence that the company is 8% filling the bags to LESS than the stated weight, ON AVERGAGE. 3. Since the interval CONTAINS the stated weight of 28.1 grams, there is evidence that the company is 0% filling the bags to the stated weight, ON AVERGAGE. 1. Slide 1- 7 HW11- PROBLEM 10 A company announced a ‘1000 Chips Trial’ claiming that every 18-ounce bag of its cookies contained at least 1,000 chocolate chips. Students purchased random bags of cookies from different stores and counted the number of chips in each bag. Data were recorded to test the claim.

Insurance companies are interested in knowing the average weight of cars currently licensed. They believe it is 3,000 lbs. (i.e. hypothesize). To test this belief, they checked a random sample of 91 cars and found: Mean weight 2,855lbs. SD 531.5lbs Is this strong evidence that the mean weight of all cars is NOT 3,000lbs.? Slide 1- 12 IS THIS STRONG EVIDENCE THAT THE MEAN WEIGHT OF ALL CARS IS NOT 3000LBS? Yes, there is sufficient evidence the mean is different from 3000 0%2. No, there is sufficient evidence the mean is different from 3000 3. Yes, there is NOT sufficient evidence the mean 0% is different from 3000 4. No, there is NOT sufficient evidence the mean 100% is different from 3000 0%1.

Reject null, there is sufficient evidence to suggest the mean time is NOT 60 sec. Reject null, there is NOT sufficient evidence to suggest the mean time is NOT 60 sec. Fail to reject null, there is sufficient evidence to suggest the mean time is NOT 60 sec. Fail to reject null, there is NOT sufficient evidence to suggest the mean time is NOT 60 sec.

Slide 1- 16 DO YOU THINK THIS MAZE MEETS THE “ONE-MINUTE AVERAGE” REQUIREMENT? There is NOT evidence that the mean time required for rats to complete the maze is different from 60s. The maze 0% meets the requirements. 2. There is evidence that the mean time required for rats to complete the maze is different from 60s. The maze meets 10%the requirements. 3. There is evidence that the mean time required for rats to complete the maze is different from 60s. The maze DOES 90%NOT meet the requirements. 4. There is NOT evidence that the mean time required for rats to complete the maze is different from 60s. The maze 0% DOES NOT meet the requirements.
