Are you really being served red snapper? Refer to the Nature (July 15, 2004) study of fish specimens labeled "red snapper," Exercise 3.75 (p. 172). Recall that federal law prohibits restaurants from serving a cheaper, look-alike variety of fish (e.g., vermillion snapper or lane snapper) to customers who order red snapper. A team of University of North Carolina (UNC) researchers analyzed the meat from each in a sample of 22 "red snapper" fish fillets purchased from vendors across the United States in an effort to estimate the true proportion of fillets that are really red snapper. DNA tests revealed that 17 of the 22 fillets (or $77 \%$ ) were not red snapper but the cheaper, look-alike variety of fish.

Explain why a large-sample confidence interval is inappropriate to apply in this study.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune (August 12, 2008) reported that 73% of Americans say that Starbucks coffee is overpriced. The source of this information was a national telephone survey of 1,000 American adults conducted by Rasmussen Reports. Identify the population of interest in this study.

According to scientists, the cockroach has had 300 million years to develop a resistance to destruction. In a study conducted by researchers for S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc. (manufacturers of Raid and Off), 5,000 roaches (the expected number in a roach-infested house) were released in the Raid test kitchen. One week later, the kitchen was fumigated and 16,298 dead roaches were counted, a gain of 11,298 roaches for the 1-week period. Assume that none of the original roaches died during the 1-week period and that the standard deviation of x , the number of roaches produced per roach in a 1-week period, is 1.5. Use the number of roaches produced by the sample of 5,000 roaches to find a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of roaches produced per week for each roach in a typical roach-infested house.

An experimental arrangement for measuring the thermal conductivity of solid materials involves the use of two long rods that are equivalent in every respect, except that one is fabricated from a standard material of known thermal conductivity $k_{\mathrm{A}}$ while the other is fabricated from the material whose thermal conductivity $k_{\mathrm{B}}$ is desired. Both rods are attached at one end to a heat source of fixed temperature $T_{b}$, are exposed to a fluid of temperature $T_{\infty}$, and are instrumented with thermocouples to measure the temperature at a fixed distance $x_{1}$ from the heat source. If the standard material is aluminum, with $k_{\mathrm{A}}=200 \mathrm{W} / \mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{K}$, and measurements reveal values of $T_{\mathrm{A}}=75^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $T_{\mathrm{B}}=60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ at $x_{1}$ for $T_{b}=100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $T_{\infty}=25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, what is the thermal conductivity $k_{\mathrm{B}}$ of the test material?

Use the applet Confidence Intervals for a Proportion to investigate the effect of the value of $p$ on the number of confidence intervals that contain the population proportion $p$ for a fixed sample size. For this exercise, use sample size $n=10$. Which value of $p$ yields the greatest proportion of each type of interval that contain $p$ ?
