A soccer ball manufacturer wants to estimate the mean circumference of soccer balls within 0.05 in. (a) Determine the minimum sample size required to construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.20 in. (b) Repeat part (a) using a population standard deviation of 0.40 in. Which standard deviation requires a larger sample size? Explain.

A credit card company claims that the mean credit card debt for individuals is greater than $ 5000. You want to test this claim. You find that a random sample of 30 cardholders has a mean credit card balance of $ 5202 and a standard deviation of $ 600. At alpha equals 0.01, can you support the claim? Complete parts (a) through (e) below. Assume the population is normally distributed.

You are given the sample mean and the population standard deviation. Use this information to construct the 90% and 95% confidence intervals for the population mean. Interpret the results and compare the widths of the confidence intervals. If convenient, use technology to construct the confidence intervals. A random sample of 60 home theater systems has a mean price of $140. Assume the population standard deviation is $15.40 Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. The 90% confidence interval is (nothing,nothing).
