Chapter 7, Problem 3(choose chapter or problem)
Suppose that a random sample of 50 bottles of a particularbrand of cough syrup is selected and the alcohol content of eachbottle is determined. Let m denote the average alcohol contentfor the population of all bottles of the brand under study.Suppose that the resulting 95% confidence interval is (7.8, 9.4).a. Would a 90% confidence interval calculated from thissame sample have been narrower or wider than the giveninterval? Explain your reasoning.b. Consider the following statement: There is a 95% chancethat m is between 7.8 and 9.4. Is this statement correct?Why or why not?c. Consider the following statement: We can be highly confidentthat 95% of all bottles of this type of cough syruphave an alcohol content that is between 7.8 and 9.4. Is thisstatement correct? Why or why not?d. Consider the following statement: If the process of selectinga sample of size 50 and then computing the corresponding95% interval is repeated 100 times, 95 of theresulting intervals will include m. Is this statement correct?Why or why not?
