1. According to Dietary Goals for the US (1977), high sodium intake may be related to ulcers, stomach cancer, and migraine headaches. The human requirement for salt is less than 220 milligrams per day, which is surpassed in most single servings of ready- to-eat noodles. If a random sample of 9 similar servings of noodles has a mean sodium content of 203 milligrams and a standard deviation of 6.2. What is the margin of error of the 95% confidence interval of the mean sodium content of the noodles being investigated? 2. According to Dietary Goals for the US (1977), high sodium intake may be related to ulcers, stomach cancer, and migraine headaches. The human requirement for salt is less than 220 milligrams per day, which is surpassed in most single servings of ready- to-eat noodles. If a random sample of 9 similar servings of noodles has a mean sodium content of 226 milligrams and a standard deviation of 8.2. What is the upper bound of the 95% confidence interval of the mean sodium content of the noodles being investigated? Note: Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
