| Question 923326:  The owner of Britten's Egg Farm wants to estimate the mean number of eggs laid per chicken. A sample of 20 chickens shows they laid an average of 22 eggs per month with a standard deviation of 2.79 eggs per month.
 
 
 
 
 (a-2) What is the best estimate of this value?
 
 
 
 (c)
 For a 95 percent confidence interval, the value of t  is . (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
 
 
 (d)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The manufacturer of a new line of ink-jet printers would like to include as part of its advertising the number of pages a user can expect from a print cartridge. A sample of 10 cartridges revealed the following number of pages printed. 3,250 ;  2,450  2,550 ; 2,500 ; 2,400 ; 2,610 ; 2,990 ; 3,320 ; 3,170 ; 2,730
 sum = 27970
 mean = 27970/10 = 2797
 -------------------------------
 (a)
 What is the point estimate of the population mean? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
 u = 2797
 --------------------
 Estimated population mean = 2797
 (b)
 Develop a 95 percent confidence interval for the population mean. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
 95%CI:: 2797 - 1.96*353/sqrt(10) < u < 2797 + 1.96*353/sqrt(10)
