Question

Transcribed Image Text:Each of the following is a confidence interval for u = true average (i.e., population mean) resonance frequency (Hz) for all tennis rackets of a certain type:
(110.4, 111.6)
(110.1, 111.9)
(a) What is the value of the sample mean resonance frequency?
Hz
(b) Both intervals were calculated from the same sample data. The confidence level for one of these intervals is 90% and for the other is 99%. Which of the intervals
has the 90% confidence level, and why?
O The first interval has the 90% confidence level because it is a wider interval.
O The second interval has the 90% confidence level because it is a wider interval.
O The second interval has the 90% confidence level because it is a narrower interval.
O The first interval has the 90% confidence level because it is a narrower interval.

Because blood pressure increases with anxiety, the researchers used systolic blood pressure as an operational measure of anxiety. The experiment involved a random sample of cell phone users that were divided into two groups at random. One group of participants completed a survey while their phones were locked in a cabinet in a separate room and the other group of participants completed the same survey while their phones were nearby. (The survey questions were unrelated to cell phone use.) At the end of the survey, theresearchers measured each participant's systolic blood pressure. The same experiment was conducted in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and St. Zotique. The blood pressure data needed is below.
