. A standard gold bar weighs exactly 12.4 kg. We have two scales of unknown accuracy and precision. In particular, unknown to us, using Scale #1, measurements of the bar’s weight act like random draws from a N(12.2, 0.05) distribution while, using Scale #2, measurements of the bar’s weight act like random draws from a N(12.4, 0.2) distribution. Using each scale, we take 10 measurements and compute a 95% confidence interval for the true weight of the bar. Neither includes 12.4 kg.
a. What is the best explanation for why the confidence interval based on the Scale #1 measurements does not contain 12.4 kg?
b. What is the best explanation for why the confidence interval based on the Scale #2 measurements does not contain 12.4 kg?

3. A standard gold bar weighs exactly 12.4 kg. We have
two scales of unknown accuracy and precision. In particular,
unknown to us, using Scale #1, measurements of the bar’s weight act
like random draws from a ??(12.2, 0.05) distribution while, using
Scale #2, measurements of the bar’s weight act like random draws
from a ??(12.4, 0.2) distribution. Using each scale, we take 10
measurements and compute a 95% confidence interval for the true
weight of the bar. Neither includes...

A
horizontal bar length, L, weighs 6 pounds and rests at on two
scales at the left and tight ends of the bar. A box (4lb) rests 1/4
way, from the left end. What is the reading of on each scale ?
Please include all steps and provide the answer in
letters.

1. The reason we no longer have a gold standard is because:
a. banks refused to accept gold for deposit.
b. banks refused to issue gold for paper money.
c. people grew tired of using gold.
d. the government made it illegal to use gold as money.
e. Both A and B of the above are true.
2. According to Christoff-Kurapouna, what effectively eliminated
the gold standard?

To estimate the mean of a population with unknown
distribution shape and unknown standard
deviation, we take a random sample of size 64. The sample
mean is 22.3 and the sample standard deviation is 8.8. If we wish
to compute a 92% confidence interval for the
population mean, what will be the t multiplier? (Hint: Use
either a Probability Distribution Graph or the Calculator from
Minitab.)

3. In this section we have said that the Richter scale and other
logarithmic scales are compressed. Explain in a way that a fellow
student could understand what is meant by a compressed scale, and
use a couple of examples to show how the compression works in
practice.
