Question
A survey of several 10 to 11 year olds recorded the following amounts spent on a trip to the mall:
$17.33,$19.83,$21.10,$24.20,$13.72,$17.82
Construct the 95% confidence interval for the average amount spent by 10 to 11 year olds on a trip to the mall. Assume the population is approximately normal.

- Exercise 1.4 (5pts). A farmer recorded the weights of 25 randomly selected pigs from his farm. A 95% confidence interval for the mean weight was calculated to be from 280.2 to 289.8 pounds. What is being estimated by this confidence interval? Choose one: a. the weights of all pigs at this farm. b. the mean weight of 25 pigs at this farm. c. the mean weight of all pigs at this farm. d. the middle 95% of weights for pigs at this farm.arrow_forwardOut of a 54 person sample from our fall Math-150 classes, 12.4% of the students are left-handed.

- An insurance company selected samples of clients under 18 years of age and over 18 and recorded the number of accidents they had in the previous year. We are interested in determining if the accident proportions differ between the two age groups. The results are shown below. a =0.05 Under age of 18 Over age of 18 n₂ =500 n₁ = 480 Number of accidents = 160 Number of accidents = 140 The test statistic is A 90% confidence interval for the proportion between two age groups is approximately Given a 5% level of significance, what decision should be reached about the null hypothesisarrow_forwardIn a survey, 22 people were asked how much they spent on their child's last birthday gift.
