Title: MTH410 - Module 5 - B - Check Your Understanding
Type: Fill in the blank
Question: 1. A random sample of 100 credit sales in a department store showed an average sale of
$120.00. From past data, it is known that the standard deviation of the population is $40.00. Determine
the standard error of the mean.
Correct Answer: 4
Correct Feedback: That’s correct!
Incorrect Feedback: The correct answer is: 4
Question: 2. A random sample of 100 credit sales in a department store showed an average sale of
$120.00. From past data, it is known that the standard deviation of the population is $40.00. With a 0.95
probability, determine the margin of error.
Correct Answer: 7.84
Correct Feedback: That’s correct!
Incorrect Feedback: The correct answer is: 7.84
Question: 3. A random sample of 100 credit sales in a department store showed an average sale of
$120.00. From past data, it is known that the standard deviation of the population is $40.00. What is the
95% confidence interval of the population mean?
Correct Answer: 112.16 to 127.84
Correct Feedback: That’s correct!
Incorrect Feedback: The correct answer is: 112.16 to 127.84
Question: 4. In order to determine the average weight of carry-on luggage by passengers in airplanes, a
sample of 16 pieces of carry-on luggage was weighed. The average weight was 20 pounds. Assume that
we know the standard deviation of the population to be 8 pounds. Determine a 97% confidence interval
estimate for the mean weight of the carry-on luggage.
Correct Answer: 15.66 to 24.34
Correct Feedback: That’s correct!
Incorrect Feedback: The correct answer is: 15.66 to 24.34
Question: 5. In order to determine the average weight of carry-on luggage by passengers in airplanes, a
sample of 16 pieces of carry-on luggage was weighed. The average weight was 20 pounds. Assume that
we know the standard deviation of the population to be 8 pounds. Determine a 95% confidence interval
estimate for the mean weight of the carry-on luggage.
Correct Answer: 16.08 to 23.92
Correct Feedback: That’s correct!
Incorrect Feedback: The correct answer is: 16.08 to 23.92
