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 random sample of 75 eighth grade students’ scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 278. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state’s eighth graders on this exam is more than 275. Assume that the population standard deviation is 36. At alphaequals0.12, is there enough evidence to support the administrator’s claim? Complete parts (a) through (e).

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.
