Problem A company wanted to estimate the mean lifetime of its new model of lightbulbs. They use a method for testing bulbs that accelerates the process so the bulbs burn out relatively quickly, and the company can accurately calculate the corresponding lifetime under regular usage. They took a random sample of 555 of these new bulbs and calculated their lifetimes. Here are the data and summary statistics:

A marine biologist wanted to construct a ttt interval to estimate the mean weight of marine otters using 98%98%98, percentconfidence. They took a random sample of n=8n=8n, equals, 8 marine otters to measure their weights. These weights were roughly symmetric with a mean of xˉ=4.5 kgxˉ=4.5kgx, with, \bar, on top, equals, 4, point, 5, start text, k, g, end text and a standard deviation of sx=1.1 kgsx=1.1kgs, start subscript, x, end subscript, equals, 1, point, 1, start text, k, g, end text.

A doctor took a random sample of n=6n=6n, equals, 6 patients to see how long they each spent in the waiting room. She wants to construct a ttt interval for the mean waiting time with 99%99%99, percent confidence. The times in the sample were roughly symmetric with a mean of xˉ=8.5xˉ=8.5x, with, \bar, on top, equals, 8, point, 5 minutes and a standard deviation of sx=2.8sx=2.8s, start subscript, x, end subscript, equals, 2, point, 8 minutes.
