At one point during the 2019 baseball season, Dodgers pitcher
Hyun-Jin Ryu had thrown his 2-seam fastball 134 times. The mean
speed of those pitches was 90.02 mph with a sample standard
deviation of 1.32 mph.
Use this data to construct a 99% confidence interval for the
mean speed of Ryu's 2-seam fastball.

A sample of 15 speeds measured from the southbound traffic on
I-65 near downtown Montgomery have a sample mean of 62.5
miles/hour. The population standard deviation is known to be 4.5
miles/hour. The speed limit on this area of the road is 55
miles/hour. Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the mean
speed.

There is concern about the speed of automobiles traveling over
US 131. For a random sample of seven automobiles radar indicated
the following speeds, in miles per hour:80, 74, 69, 78, 87, 72, and
70. Assuming a normal population distribution, find the margin of
error of a 95% confidence interval for the mean speed of all
automobiles traveling over this stretch of highway.

A fast-food franchiser is considering building a restaurant at a
certain location. Based on financial analyses, a site is acceptable
only if the number of pedestrians passing the location averages
more than 100 per hour. The number of pedestrians observed for each
of 40 hours was recorded. Assuming that the population standard
deviation is known to be 16, Estimate with 95% confidence the mean
number of pedestrians passing the location. Can we conclude at the
5% significance level that the...
