3. Example No.1.
The comparison of two methods for
training managers to be more assertive,
suppose that 10 pairs of managerial
assertiveness test scores were as shown
in the table find a 95% confidence
interval for the difference in mean levels
of assertiveness, d .
7. Example No.2
A manufacturer wants to assess the
proportion of defective items in a large batch
produced by a particular machine. He tests
60 random sample of 300 items and find
that 45 items are defective. Calculate 95%
confidence interval for that of defective items
in the batch.
9. Example No.3
What size sample would have to be taken
order to estimate the percentage to within
12% with 90% confidence, in a random
sample of 400 carpet shops, it was
discovered that 136 of them sold carpets at
below the list prices.

12. Example No.4
A poll is taken among the residents of a city
and the surrounding county to determine the
feasibility of proposal to construct a civic
center. If 2400 of 5000 city residents favor
the proposal and 1200 of 2000 county
residents favor it, find a 90% confidence
interval for the true difference in the
fractions favoring the proposal to construct
the civic center.
16. Example No.5
A random sample of 8 cigarettes of a
certain brand has an average nicotine
content of 3.6 milligrams and standard
deviation of 0.9 milligrams. Construct 99%
confidence interval for variance.
