Allen's hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) has been studied by zoologist Bill Alther.† Suppose a small group of 13 Allen's hummingbirds has been under study in Arizona. The average weight for these birds is x = 3.15 grams. Based on previous studies, we can assume that the weights of Allen's hummingbirds have a normal distribution, with ? = 0.20 gram. (d) Find the sample size necessary for an 80% confidence level with a maximal margin of error E = 0.06 for the mean weights of the hummingbirds. (Round up to the nearest whole number.) ____________ hummingbirds

The following sample data are from a normal population: Sample size (n) = 25, Sample mean=14, Sample standard deviation=3.6 With 95% confidence, what is the margin of error for the estimation of the population mean?
1. Depression scores (1-100) for young women (20-40 years old) are assumed to be normally distributed with a mean of 75.5 within the population. A sample of 26 women were recruited to have their depression scores recorded and the mean score was 82, with a standard deviation of 12. Researchers want to know if the sample data reflects a population with mean score of 75.5. Using a significance level of 0.01, answer the following questions. (a) What statistical test should the researchers conduct? Why? Explain your answer. (b) State the hypotheses for this scenario. (c) Conduct a hypothesis test based on question 1(a) to determine what the researcher should conclude from this study. Give your answer to two decimal places. (d) Suppose you obtained several random samples each with n = 100 women and each time you obtained their depression scores. Is it reasonable to assume that the sample means of these samples xx are approximately Normally distributed even though the population distribution…
Hi, I'd really appreciate your help with this question. I'm not sure how to calculate the mean if the values greater than 8 are unknown.
You have have sampled five production lines operating and you wish to estimate the sample standard deviation of the five lines. Given the data below, provide your estimate of the sample standard deviation to the first decimal point, that is, 0.9 instead of 1.

Women are recommended to consume 1790 calories per day. You suspect that the average calorie intake is smaller for women at your college. The data for the 15 women who participated in the study is shown below: 1959, 1908, 1789, 1544, 1805, 1656, 1899, 1811, 1686, 1688, 1687, 1943, 1612, 1789, 1467 Assuming that the distribution is normal, what can be concluded at the α = 0.05 level of significance? For this study, we should use The null and alternative hypotheses would be: H0: H1: The test statistic = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is α Based on this, we should the null hypothesis. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... The data suggest the population mean is not significantly less than 1790 at α = 0.05, so there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the population mean calorie intake for women at your college is equal to 1790. The data suggest the populaton…

A student wants to estimate the mean score of all college students for a particular exam. First use the range rule of thumb to make a rough estimate of the standard deviation of those scores. Possible scores range from 500 to 2000. Use technology and the estimated standard deviation to determine the sample size corresponding to a 99% confidence level and a margin of error of 100 points. What isn't quite right with this exercise? The range rule of thumb estimate for the standard deviation is (Type an integer or a fraction.) A confidence level of 99% requires a mimimum sample size of (Round up to the nearest integer.) What isn't quite right with this exercise? A. The range rule of thumb introduces too much inaccuracy for this procedure. B. Amargin of error of 100 points seems too high to provide a good estimate of the mean score. OC. These results don't apply to a test that has multiple choice questions.
