  Suppose the amount of propane used per customer in a month is normally distributed with . Find a 95 confidence interval for if a randomly chosen sample of 30 customers has a mean propane usage of 110 gallons a month.
 

  a.(78.6, 141.4)
  b.(105.2, 114.8)
  c.(103.2, 116.8)
  d.(104.3, 115.7)

Question 2


  Which of the following is not a correct statement with regards to estimating a mean using a known ?
 

  a.If the sampling distribution for sample means has a mean equal to and a standard error equal to and the randomly sampled population is normally distributed, then the sampling distribution of has a normal distribution.
  b.The sampling distribution of is normally distributed only if the sampled population is normally distributed.
  c.A necessary assumption for estimating a mean using a known is that the sampling distribution of is normally distributed.
  d.If the sampling distribution for sample means has a mean equal to and a standard error equal to and the randomly sampled population is not normally distributed, then the sampling distribution of is approximately normally distributed only for sufficiently large sample sizes.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
