a.       Estimate the mean number of refereed publications by faculty members in the university, µ, and place a bound on the error of estimation, B.
Â
b.      Estimate the total number of refereed publications by faculty members in the university, r, and place a bound on the error of estimation, B.
Â
c.       Estimate the proportion, p, of faculty with no publications and place a bound on the error of estimation, B.
Â
2.       Above, data on numbers of refereed publications were given for a simple random sample of 50 faculty members. Not all departments were represented, however, in the simple random sample. The following data are from a stratified random sample of faculty members, using biological sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, and humanities as the strata.
