- A statistics practitioner took a random sample of 54 observations from a population whose standard deviation is 32 and computed the sample mean to be 109. A. Estimate the population mean with 95% confidence. Confidence Interval = B. Estimate the population mean with 90% confidence. Confidence Interval = C. Estimate the population mean with 99% confidence. Confidence Interval =arrow_forwardAssume that the population has a normal distribution.Thirty randomly selected students took the statistics final. If the sample mean was 93 and the standard deviation was 6.6, construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean score of all students. Interpret the results.arrow_forwardOne year, the mean age of an inmate on death row was 38.3 years. A sociologist wondered whether the mean age of a death-row inmate has changed since then. She randomly selects 32 death-row inmates and finds that their mean age is 37.3, with a standard deviation of 8.7. Construct a 95% confidence interval about the mean age. What does the interval imply? E Click the icon to view the table of critical t-values. Choose the correct hypotheses. H, Hi: (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)
