Example: Discount Sounds
Discount Sounds has 260 retail outlets throughout the United States. The firm is evaluating a potential location for a new outlet, based in part, on the mean annual income of the individuals in the marketing area of the new location.
A sample of size of 36 was taken; the sample mean income is $31,100. The population is not believed to be highly skewed. The population standard deviation is estimated to be $4,500, and the confidence coefficient to be used in the interval estimate is .95.

Political Science, Inc. (PSI) specializes in voter polls andsurveys designed to keep political office seekers informedof their position in a race. Using telephone surveys, PSI interviewers ask registered voters who they would vote for if the election were held that day.
Example: Political Science, Inc.
In a current election campaign, PSI has just found that 220 registered voters, out of 500 contacted, favor McSame. PSI wants to develop a 95% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of the population of registered voters that favor McSame.

A reporter for a student newspaper is writing an article on the cost of off-campus housing. A sample of 16 efficiency apartments within a half-mile of campus resulted in a sample mean of $650 per month and a sample standard deviation of $55.

Compute a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean rent per month for the population of efficiency apartments within a half-mile of campus. We will assume this population to be normally distributed.
