A real estate company is trying to estimate the cost of rent in Houston. They randomly sample 10 apartment buildings and find that the mean monthly rent payment is $980, with a standard deviation of $250. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the true mean monthly rent payment in Houston. Find the Lower end and the Upper end.

A student earned a 79 on a precalculus exam, and she earned a 92 on a statistics exam. The precalculus exam had a mean score of 72.3 with a standard deviation of 8.4. On the other hand, the statistics exam had a mean score of 87.4 with a standard deviation of 11.4. Determine which exam the student earned a better score on with respect to her peers.
The tallest living man at one time had a height of 244 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 92.3 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 174.73 cm and a standard deviation of 6.23 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme?
The speed of cars driving past Johnson City High School, on 666 Reynolds Rd, were recorded over one school year. The speed limit on that part of Reynolds Rd is 20 mph. The mean of the speed readings was 24.19 mph, with a standard deviation of 3.56 mph.
According to the U.S. Census, the average adult woman is the United States is 65 inches tall and the standard deviation is 3 inches. If Zsike is 67 inches tall, what is her z-score?
One year Terry had the lowest ERA (earned-run average, mean number of runs yielded per nine innings pitched) of any male pitcher at his school, with an ERA of 3.02. Also, Karen had the lowest ERA of any female pitcher at the school with an ERA of 3.24. For the males, the mean ERA was 4.364 and the standard deviation was 0.639. For the females, the mean ERA was 3.801 and the standard deviation was 0.959 Find their respective z-scores. Which player had the better year relative to their peers, Terry or Karen? (Note: In general, the lower the ERA, the better the pitcher.) Terry had an ERA with a z-score of Karen had an ERA with a z-score of (Round to two decimal places as needed) Which player had a better year in comparison with their peers? OA. Terry had a better year because of a higher z-score. OB. Karen had a better year because of a lower z-score. OC. Terry had a better year because of a lower z-score. O D. Karen had a better year because of a higher z-score. GIL
In a survey, 28 people were asked how much they spent on their child's last birthday gift. The results were roughly bell-shaped with a mean of $44 and standard deviation of $10. Estimate how much a typical parent would spend on their child's birthday gift (use a 80% confidence level). Give your answers to one decimal place. Provide the point estimate and margin or error. +
You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. Data were collected on the top 1,000 financial advisers. Company A had 239 people on the list and another company, Company B, had 121 people on the list. A sample of 16 of the advisers from Company A and 10 of the advisers from Company B showed that the advisers managed many very large accounts with a large variance in the total amount of funds managed. The standard deviation of the amount managed by advisers from Company A was s₁ = $583 million. The standard deviation of the amount managed by advisers from Company B was s₂ = $484 million. Conduct a hypothesis test at a = 0.10 to determine if there is a significant difference in the population variances for the amounts managed by the two companies. What is your conclusion about the variability in the amount of funds managed by advisers from the two firms? State the null and alternative hypotheses. 2 2 H₂:0 2 Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer…
A researcher wants to know if men have a lower anxiety level than women in response to social rejection. The researcher brings 9 men and 16 women into a lab. He tells them all to write about a time they were socially rejected and he then measures their levels of anxiety using a 0-100 scale. The mean anxiety for men (A) was 81.67 with a standard deviation of 8.78. For women (B), he obtained a mean of 85.69 with a standard deviation of 4.8. A). What is the type of test you will use? (z-test, single-sample t-test, paired-samples t-test, or independent samples t-test) and why (what information provided in the problem) B). What are the hypotheses (Be Specific)

A business school dean in Ohio wants to know if graduates who completed an internship during their undergraduate years earn more than business undergraduates who do not complete an internship while in college. Based on national survey from 1,500 business alumni with less than six years of work experience, they earn on average $50,970 with a standard deviation of $12,976. Business alumni from the Ohio school who completed internships on average earned $53,497. The dean wants you to be 96% confident in your results. a. State in statistical terms the null and alternative hypotheses. b. Determine the appropriate test statistic (z or t). c. Determine the critical value(s). d. Compute the test statistic. e. Make a decision on the hypotheses. (which hypothesis is correct?) f. Determine the p-value for the test statistic.
