Suppose a baker claims that the average bread height is more than 15cm. Several of this customers do not believe him. To persuad

e his customers that he is right, the baker decides to do a hypothesis test. He bakes 10 loaves of bread. The mean height of the sample loaves is 17 cm with a sample standard deviation of 1.9 cm. The heights of all bread loaves are assumed to be normally distributed.The baker is now interested in obtaining a 95% confidence interval for the true mean height of his loaves. What is the lower bound to this confidence interval? What is the upper bound to this confidence interval?

Answer:

17-2.262\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{10}}=15.641    

17+2.262\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{10}}=18.359    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (15.641;18.359)    

And since the lower limit for the confidence interval is higher than 15 we can conclude that at 5% of significance the true mean is higher than 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=17 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=1.9 represent the sample standard deviation

n=10 represent the sample size  

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=10-1=9

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,9)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.262

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

17-2.262\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{10}}=15.641    

17+2.262\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{10}}=18.359    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (15.641;18.359)    

And since the lower limit for the confidence interval is higher than 15 we can conclude that at 5% of significance the true mean is higher than 15 cm

The box plots below show attendance at a local movie theater and high school basketball games:
Firdavs [7]

Assume that the data for both movies and basketball games are normally distributed.
Therefore, the median and the mean are assumed equal.
The standard deviation, σ, is related to the interquartile range by
IQR = 1.35

From the data, we can say the following:

Movies:
Range = 150 - 60 = 90 (approx)
Q1 = 62 (approx), first quartile
Q3 = 120 (approx), third quartlie
Q2 (median) = 90 (approx)
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 58
σ = IQR/1.35 = 58/1.35 = 43

Basketball:
Range = 150 - 90 = 60 approx
Q1 = 95 (approx)
Q3 = 145 (approx)
Q2 = 125 (approx)
IQR = 145 - 95 = 50
σ = 50/1.35 = 37

Test the given answers.
A. The IQRs are approximately equal, so they are not good measures of spread. This is not a good answer.
B. The std. deviation is a better measure of spread for basketball. This is not a good answer.
C. IQR is not a better measure of spread for basketball games. This is not a good answer.
D. The standard deviation is a good measure of spread for both movies and basketball. This is the best answer.
