Question
A national air traffic control system handled an average of
47,208
flights during
29
randomly selected days in a recent year. The standard deviation for this sample is
6,268
flights per day. Complete parts a through c below.Question content area bottom
Part 1
a. Construct

(Round to the nearest whole numbers.)
Part 2
b. Suppose an airline company claimed that the national air traffic control system handles an average of 50,000 flights per day. Do the results from this sample validate the airline company's claim?
Since the
99%
confidence interval does not contain 50,000, it can be said with
99%
confidence that the sample validates the airline company's claim.Since the

c. What assumptions need to be made about this population?
Since the sample size is not greater than or equal to 30, one needs to assume that the population follows the Student's t-distribution.
Since the sample size is not greater than or equal to 30, one needs to assume that the population distribution is skewed to one side.
Since the sample size is not greater than or equal to 30, one needs to assume that the population follows the normal probability distribution.
Since the sample size is not greater than or equal to 30, one needs to assume that the population distribution is not very skewed to one side.

- Intellectual development (Perry) scores were determined for 21 students in a first-year, project-based design course. (Recall that a Perry score of 1 indicates the lowest level of intellectual development, and a Perry score of 5 indicates the highest level.) The average Perry score for the 21 students was 3.27 and the standard deviation was .40. Apply the confidence interval method to estimate the true mean Perry score of all undergraduate engineering students with 90% confidence. Interpret the results.arrow_forwardIn a survey, 22 people were asked how much they spent on their child's last birthday gift.

Ten ER patients who are running a fever agree to take the new drug instead of the traditional treatment. Their temperatures are taken before the drug is administered and 30 minutes after taking the drug. The results are recorded in the Excel file below. Use the data to construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the mean change in temperatures of patients after taking this drug using Excel. Be sure to include any explanation necessary along with a sentence that explains what the interval means.
