b. 435 hr

c. 431 hr

d. 432 hr

4. Resolve the problem. The weights of the fish in a given lake are distributed normally with an average of 19 pounds and a standard deviation of 6. If 4 fish are selected at random, what is the probability that the average weight is between 16.6 and 22.6 pounds?

a. 0.0968

b. 0.4032

c. .6730

d. 0.3270

5. Use the information given to find the minimum sample size required to estimate an unknown population mean mu.

a. 221

b. 156

c. 153

d. 155

6. Use the confidence level and data in the example to find the margin of error E. Round your answer to the same number of decimal places as the sample mean unless otherwise indicated. Annual earnings of university students, confidence: 99%, n = 76 = $ 3016, σ = $ 872

a. $ 196

c. 0.422

d. 0.426

8. Assume that a sample is used to estimate a mu population mean. Use the confidence level and sample data to find the margin of error. Assume that the sample is a simple random sample and the population has a normal distribution. Round your answer to one decimal more than the standard deviation of the sample. 95% confidence, n = 21; sigma = 0.16

a. 0.085

b. 0.068

c. 0.063

d. 0.073
