- Help needed urgently pleasearrow_forwardA local bank needs information concerning the savings account balances of its customers. A random sample of 15 accounts was checked. The mean balance was $586.75 with a standard deviation of $256.20. Find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean. Assume that the account balances are normally distributed.

To investigate, an inspector is hired. The inspector randomly selects 30 of these buckets of chlorine tablets and weighs the contents of each bucket. The sample mean is 49.4 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.2 pounds. The inspector would like to know if this provides convincing evidence that the true mean weight of the chlorine tablets in the 50-pound buckets is less than 50 pounds, so he plans to test the hypotheses H0: μ = 50 versus Ha: μ < 50, where μ = the true mean weight of all 50-pound buckets of chlorine tablets. The conditions for inference are met. The test statistic is t = –2.74 and the P-value is between 0.005 and 0.01. What conclusion should be made at the significance level, ? Reject H0. There is convincing evidence that the true mean weight of the chlorine tablets in the 50-pound buckets is less than 50 pounds. Reject H0. There…arrow_forward

- Heather recently switched her primary doctor to one specializing in caring for elderly patients. On her new doctor's website, it says that the mean systolic blood pressure among elderly females is 115 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Heather believes the value is actually higher. She bases her belief on a recently reported study of 13 randomly selected, elderly females. The sample mean systolic blood pressure was 125 mmHg, and the sample standard deviation was 25 mmHg. C Assume that the systolic blood pressures of elderly females are approximately normally distributed. Based on the study, at the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that u, the population mean systolic blood pressure among elderly females, is greater than 115 mmHg?
