In 1992, the FAA conducted 86,991 pre-employment drug tests on job applicants who were to be

engaged in safety and security-related jobs, and found that 1,143 were positive. (a) Construct a

A random sample of 10 miniature Tootsie Rolls was taken from a bag. Each piece was weighed ona very accurate scale. The results in grams were

3.087 3.131 3.241 3.241 3.270 3.353 3.400 3.411 3.437 3.477

(a) Construct a 90 percent confidence interval for the true mean weight.

(b) What sample size would be necessary to estimate the true weight with an error of ・}0.03 grams with 90 percent confidence?

(c) Discuss the factors which might cause variation in the weight of Tootsie Rolls during manufacture. (Data are from a project by MBA student Henry Scussel.)
