A z-score tells you...
the standard deviation of a sampling distribution.
the original raw observation on which it is based.
if the distribution it comes from is normal.
how many standard deviations away from the mean an observation lies (above, below, or at).
What is the standard deviation of the distribution if we assume that the nested areas centered about the mean are about .683, .995, and .997, respectively, and the curve is a normal distribution?

The lifetime of a certain type of battery is known to be normally distributed with a standard deviation of 20 hours. A sample of 50 batteries had a mean lifetime of 120.1 hours. It is desired to construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean lifetime of this type of battery.

A study found that in a sample of 44 subjects, 9 of agree that children under 6 shouldn’t be taken to nice restaurants.
The 95% confidence interval for p is (0.082, 0.318). Interpret this interval.
95% of the time the proportion of people who believe children under 6 shouldn't be taken to nice restaurants will be between 8.2% and 31.8%.
The population proportion of people who believe children under 6 shouldn't be taken to nice restaurants is between 8.2% and 31.8%.
The probability that the proportion of people who believe children under 6 shouldn't be taken to nice restaurants will be between 8.2% and 31.8% is 95%.
Based on this sample, I am 95% confident that the proportion of people who believe children under 6 shouldn't be taken to nice restaurants is between 8.2% and 31.8%.
