A survey was conducted that asked 1018 people how many books they had read in the past year. Results indicated that x=10.3 books and s=16.6 books. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of books people read. Interpret the interval.
A medical researcher surveyed 9 hospitals and found that the standard deviation for the cost for removing a person's gall bladder was $51. Assume the variable is normally distributed. Based on this, find the 95% confidence intervals of the population variance and standard deviation. Round the answers to two decimal places.

An ecologist is examining whether the number of fish caught in a large river basin has changed since a fire burned some of the surrounding forested area and vegetation along the river. Data in the form of fishing reports was available for a five-year period before the fire. From a random sample of 195 fishing reports before the fire, the mean catch was 6.3 fish with a standard deviation of 1.6. In a random sample of 143 reports three years after the fire, the mean catch was 7.1 fish with a standard deviation of 2.1. Which of the following represents the standard error of the difference in the mean number of fish caught before and after the fire?
A random sample of 30 words from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice had a mean length of 4.08 letters with a standard deviation of 2.40. A random sample of 30 words from Henry James's What Maisie Knew had a mean length of 3.85 letters with a standard deviation of 2.26. Which of the following is a correct expression for the 99% confidence interval for the difference in mean word length for these two novels? 2.40, 2.26 2.40, 2.26 (a) (4.08– 3.85)±2.756| (b) (4.08 – 3.85) ±2.045 30 30 30 30 2.402 2.26? |2.40? 2.26?

The previous mean amount of time spent using the lab computer was 63minutes. Find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean. Make a conclusion about the claim. If there are outliers, find intervals with and without the outliers present.
In the year 2033, katy perry is a leading traveling nurse. Katy is interested in reducing the mean recovery time for patients after experiencing a serious injury (assume recovery times are normally distributed). Suppose the mean recovery time is presently 8.6 months. Katy takes a random sample of 46 patients that have experienced serious injury to participate in a new treatment program and finds the sample mean is 8.1 months and a sample standard deviation of 1.2 months. Using a = 0.05, answer the following questions. d) Using the appropriate level of confidence, what is the confidence interval? e) What is the interpretation (not your conclusions) of the confidence interval (in the context of the problem) you obtained in part c? f) What is the p value?
Suppose we want a 99% confidence interval for the average amount spent on books by freshmen in their first year at college. The amount spent has a normal distribution with standard deviation $31. How large should the sample be if the margin of error is to be less than $3?
A fitness center is interested in finding a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of days per week that Americans who are members of a fitness club go to their fitness center. Records of 219 members were looked at and their mean number of visits per week was 3.5 and the standard deviation was 1.6. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible. With 95% confidence the population mean number of visits per week is between ___ and ___visits. If many groups of 219 randomly selected members are studied, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About ___percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of visits per week and about ____ percent will not contain the true population mean number of visits per week.
You want to see if the average grade for nontraditional age students is less than the average grade for traditional age students. You believe both populations are normally distributed, but you do not know the standard deviations for either. You obtain the following two samples of data. Non-Traditional Age Students Traditional Age Students 53.9 87 102.9 99.8 44.1 63.9 72.6 87.5 70.2 100.8 88.7 114.4 46.9 54.7 83.4 101.4 38 108.9 53.1 88 29.5 121.5 117.5 74.3 79.8 105.2 86.8 94.1 88.1 92.7 77.3 93.2 44.1 98.4 74.4 114.4 72.6 75.8 29.5 88 42.4 105.8 48.2 108.9 68.7 92.7 90.8 97.4 85.7 97.4 62.5 135.7 Use a significance level of 0.050.05 to answer the following.

The dean randomly selected 33 students who took the calculus final exam and looked at their scores on it. In this sample the mean was 80.3 and the standard deviation was 3.7. No information about the population's distribution is available. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean score of all students who took this exam. Round your answers to 2 places after the decimal point, if necessary. If it is not appropriate to construct a confidence interval in this situation, then enter "0" in both answer boxes below. 98% confidence interval:
The "Select" parts are both (Normal / Binomial / Poisson).
