A random sample of 250 students at a university finds that these students take a mean of 15 credit hours per quarter with a standard deviation of 2.5 credit hours. The 99% confidence interval for the mean is 15+-0.407. Interpret the interval.
20 TV remote controls were followed over the years to find the mean lifespan of this model. The sample gave a mean of 7.2 years, and the standard deviation of 0.6 years. The distribution of the population is unknown. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean lifespan of these remote controls.
An SRS of 27 students at NYU gave an average height of 5.4 feet and a standard deviation of .1 feet. Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean height of students at NYU.
Suppose that you randomly survey death records for people born in 1900 in Louisiana and compared the life span of two different ethnicities. Of the 109 individuals sampled from ethnicity 1, the mean life span was 45.5 years with a standard deviation of 18.2 years. Of the 105 individuals sampled from ethnicity 2, the mean life span was 44.9 years with a standard deviation of 11.4 years. Conduct a hypothesis test with a 10% level of significance to see if the mean life spans in Louisiana were the same for the two ethnicities. Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho: µ1 – µ2 =v Ha:H1 – µ2 # v (So we will be performing a two-tailed ♥ test.)
The mean scores of a random sample of 17 students who took a special test is 83.5. If the standard deviation of the scores is 4.1, and the sample comes from an approximately normal population, find the confidence interval, rounded off into 3 decimal places, for an estimate of the mean population.
A large number of bags of cement have been manufactured. You sample 10 of the bags and find that they have a mean weight of 91.5 pounds with a standard deviation of 8.8 pounds. Find the 90 % confidence limit for the mean of the weight of all of the cement bags.
