Question 1
A statistics professor recently graded final exams for students in her introductory
statistics course. In a review of her grading, she found the mean score out of 100 points
was a x¯=77, with a margin of error of 10.
Construct a confidence interval for the mean score (out of 100 points) on the final exam.
That is correct!
Answer: (67, 87)
Question 2
A random sample of adults were asked whether they prefer reading an e-book over a
printed book. The survey resulted in a sample proportion of p′=0.14, with a sampling
standard deviation of σp′=0.02, who
preferred reading an e-book.
Use the empirical rule to construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of
adults who prefer e- books.
That is correct!
Answer: ( 0.10, 0.18)
Question 3
The pages per book in a library are normally distributed with an unknown population
mean. A random sample of books is taken and results in a 95% confidence interval of
(237,293) pages.
What is the correct interpretation of the 95% confidence interval?

We estimate with 95% confidence that the sample mean is between 237 and 293
pages. We estimate that 95% of the time a book is selected, there will be between
237 and
293 pages. We estimate with 95% confidence that the true population mean is
between 237 and 293 pages.
Question 4
The population standard deviation for the heights of dogs, in inches, in a city is 3.7 inches. If
we want to be 95% confident that the sample mean is within 2 inches of the true population
mean, what is the
minimum sample size that can be taken? Round up to the nearest integer.
That is correct!
Answer: 14 dog heights
Question 5
Clarence wants to estimate the percentage of students who live more than three miles
from the school. He wants to create a 98% confidence interval which has an error bound
of at most 4%. How many students should be polled to create the confidence interval?
