researcher plans to use a 90% level of confidence.
The sample size should be at least_
16. The mean life of a particular brand of light
bulb is 1200 hours. If you know that at about 95%
of this brand of bulbs will last between 1100 and
1300 hours, then what is the standard
deviation of
the light bulbs' life?

22. Lucy Baker is analyzing demographic
characteristics of two television programs,
Americandol (population 1) and 60 Minutes
(population 2). Previous studies indicate no
difference in the ages of the two audiences (The
mean age of each audience is the same.) Lucy plans

staff randomly selected 200 orders from the West
Coast Warehouse (population 1) and 400 orders
from the East Coast Warehouse (population 2),
and reports that 190 of the West Coast Orders
