(05.05 MC)  Your body loses sodium when you sweat. Researchers sampled 38 random tennis players. The average sodium loss was 500 milligrams per pound and the standard deviation was 62 milligrams per pound. Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval to estimate the mean loss in sodium in the population. (5 points)

You are considering a beam design that has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 22 in., and d = 19.5 in. The beam is singly reinforced with all of the reinforcement in a single row. The concrete strength is 4,300 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. What cross-sectional area of reinforcement is needed to achieve a strain in the reinforcement of 0.0075?

You are considering a beam design that has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 30 in., and d = 27.5 in. The beam is singly reinforced with all of the reinforcement in a single row. The concrete strength is 10,000 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. What cross-sectional area of reinforcement is needed to achieve a strain in the reinforcement of 0.0075?

You are considering a beam design that has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. The beam is singly reinforced with all of the reinforcement in a single row. The concrete strength is 6,700 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. What cross-sectional area of reinforcement is needed to achieve a strain in the reinforcement of 0.0075?

A beam has dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 22 in., and d = 19.5 in. and is reinforced with 5 No. 7 bars. The concrete strength is 7,600 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Assuming the reinforcement has yielded, determine the tensile force T in the reinforcement.

A beam has dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 28 in., and d = 25.5 in. and is reinforced with 4 No. 7 bars. The concrete strength is 3,100 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Assuming the reinforcement has yielded, determine the depth to the neutral axis, c.

(05.04 HC)  A program was created to randomly choose customers at a sporting goods store to receive a discount. The program claims 25% of the receipts will get a discount in the long run. The manager of the sporting goods store is skeptical and believes the program’s calculations are incorrect. She selects a random sample and finds that 22% received the discount. The confidence interval is 0.22 ± 0.04 with all conditions for inference met. Part A: Using the given confidence interval, is it statistically evident that the program is not working? Explain. (3 points)Part B: Is it statistically evident from the confidence interval that the program creates the discount with a 0.25 probability? Explain. (2 points)Part C: Another random sample of receipts is taken. This sample is four times the size of the original. Twenty-two percent of the receipts in the second sample received the discount. What is the value of margin of error based on the second sample with the same confidence level as the original interval? (2 points)Part D: Using the margin of error from the second sample in part C, is the program working as planned? Explain. (3 points) (10 points)

(05.01 MC)  Suppose we select a simple random sample of size n = 325 from a large population with a proportion p of successes. Let p̂ be the proportion of successes in the sample. For which value of p is it appropriate to use the Normal approximation for the sampling distribution of p̂? (4 points)
