In a metal fabrication process, metal rods are produced to a specified target length of 15 feet.  Suppose that the lengths are normally distributed.  A quality control specialist collects a random sample of 16 rods and finds the sample mean length to be 14.8 feet and a standard deviation of 0.65 feet.  The standard error of the mean is ________________________ .

One division of a large defense contractor manufactures telecommunication equipment for the military.  This division reports that 12% of non-electrical components are reworked. Management wants to determine if this percentage is the same as the percentage rework for the company’s electrical components.  The Quality Control Department plans to check a random sample of the over 10,000 electrical components manufactured across all divisions.  The resulting 95% confidence interval based on these data is .0758 to .1339.  Which of the following is the correct interpretation?
