A
simple random sample of electronic components will be selected to
test for the mean lifetime in hours. Assume that component
lifetimes are normally distributed with population standard
deviation of 31 hours. How many components must be sampled so that
a 99% confidence interval will have margin of error of 6 hours?
Write only an integer as your answer.

A random sample of 45 households was selected as part of a study
on electricity usage., and the number of kilowatt-hours (kWh) was
recoded for each household. The average usage was found to be 375
kWh. The population standard deviation is given as 51 KWh Assuming
the usage is normally distributed, find the margin of error for a
99% confidence interval for the mean. [3 marks] 12.5 14.9 19.6

A modification has been made to the production line which
produces a certain electronic component. Past evidence shows that
lifetimes of the components have a population standard deviation of
700 hours. It is believed that the modification will not affect the
population standard deviation, but may affect the mean lifetime.
The previous mean lifetime was 3250 hours. A random sample of 50
components made with the modification is taken and the sample mean
lifetime for these components is found to...
