a. Calculate confidence limits for a to e using difference estimation from the information provided:

b. In general, what is the effect on the upper confidence limit (increase, decrease, no effect, or cannot determine without additional information) of each of the following independent changes, assuming the other components are held constant?

c. Determine whether the population value is acceptable as stated for each confidence limit calculated in a.
