the true proportion of accidents that occurred
at work.

• A random sample of 49 shopper showed that
they spend an average of $23.45 per visit at
the Saturday Mornings Bookstore. The
standard deviation of the population is $2.80.
Find a point estimate of the population mean.
Find the 90% confidence interval of the true
mean.

Shopping Survey
• A researcher wishes to estimate within $25
the average cost of postage a community
college spends in one year. If she wishes to be
90% confident, how large of a sample would
be necessary if the population standard
deviation is $80.

• For a certain urban area, in a sample of 5
months, on average 28 mail carriers were
bitten by dogs each month. The standard
deviation of the sample was 3. Find the 90%
confidence interval of the true mean number
of mail carriers who are bitten by dogs each
month. Assume the variable is normally
distributed.

• A federal report stated that 88% of children
under the age of 18 were covered by health
insurance in 2000. How large a sample is
needed to estimate the true proportion of
covered children with 90% confidence with a
confidence interval 0.05 wide.
