Kaiser Permanent... /courses/27422/discussion_topics/357765 F2 W Instructions 30F Required parameters: Confidence level: F #3 0.95 Standard deviation: 7.9 E Number of Hours Worked An economic researcher is collecting data about grocery store employees in a county. The data listed below represents a random sample of number of hours worked by 40 employees for several grocery stores in the county. Assume that the population standard deviation is 7.9 hours. An economics researcher wants to estimate the mean number of hours worked by all grocery store employees in the county. How many employees must be included in the sample to be 95% confident that the sample mean is within 1.5 hours of the population mean? 30, 26, 33, 26, 26, 33, 31, 31, 21, 37, 27, 20, 34, 35, 30, 24, 38, 34, 39, 31, 22, 30, 23, 23, 31, 44, 31, 33, 33, 26, 27, 28, 25, 35, 23, ,32, 29, 31, 25, 27 Find the minimum sample size to estimate the population mean hours worked using StatCrunch. 1.

The average income of a large sample of households is $63,000 and the s.d. is $7,000. Assume that the data is approximately bell-shaped. What percent of these households have incomes between $42,000 and $77,000? Don’t forget to properly justify your answer using the empirical rule.

Here are summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn​ girls: n=36​, x=3150.0 ​g, s=695.5 g. Use a confidence level of 99​% to complete parts​ (a) through​ (d) below.

#16 Diagnostic Tests: Uric Acid Overproduction of uric acid in the body can be an indication of cell breakdown. Over a period of months, an adult male patient has taken eight blood tests for uric acid. The mean concentration was z = 5.35 mg/dl. The distribution of uric acid in healthy males can be assumed to be normal, with o = 1.85 mg/dl. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in this patient's blood. What is the margin of error? (b) What conditions are necessary for your calculation? (c) Interpret your results in the context of this problem. (d) Sample Size Find the sample size (n) necessary for a 95% confidence level with maximal margin of error E = 1.10 for the mean concentration of uric acid in this patient's blood.

You wish to test the following claim (Ha) at a significance level of a = 0.05. H.:µ = 51.2 H.:µ + 51.2 You believe the population is normally distributed and you know the standard deviation is o = 19.9. You obtain a sample mean of M = 38.6 for a sample of size n = 24. What is the critical value for this test? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.) critical value = What is the test statistic for this sample? (Report answer accurate to three decimal places.) test statistic =

A national manufacturer of ball bearings is experimenting with two different processes for producing precision ball bearings. It is important that the diameters be as close as possible to an industry standard. The output from each process is sampled, and the average error from the industry standard is measured in millimeters. The results are presented here.    Process A Process B Sample mean 2.0 3.0 Standard deviation 1.0 0.5 Sample size 12 14 The researcher is interested in determining whether there is evidence that the two processes yield different average errors. The population standard deviations are unknown but are assumed equal. This example is what type of test?   Multiple Choice   A one-sample test of means   A two-sample test of means   A paired t-test   A test of proportions
