The daily wage of a particular industry is normally distributed with a mean of 150 pesos.

Ho: μ = 150 vs. Ha: μ < 150 C. Ho: μ = 148 vs. Ha: μ > 148 D. Ho: μ = 148 vs. Ha: μ < 148
Hunter is writing a report on the backgrounds of American presidents. He finds that the mean age of the 45 presidents is 55 years with the standard deviation of 6.59 years. Because Hunter took a statistics course, he calculates a 95% confidence interval for the mean age of all men who have been president to be 55 ± 1.98. Comment on this result. Question 8 options: Hunter can be 95% confident that the mean age of all presidents is 55 years. 95% of all the ages of the presidents lie between 55 ± 1.98. Hunter should have taken a larger sample to reduce the margin of error. Hunter is 95% confident that the mean age of all presidents lies between 53.02 and 56.98 years. The confidence interval makes no sense since Hunter has the entire population of ages.
