Assume that the heights of 100 female shoppers at a store represent a random sample of the heights of the shoppers population (~ 40 000 shoppers). Calculated sample mean and standard deviation results in 165.1 cm and 21.9 cm respectively. Construct the 95 % confidence interval for the mean population.

When 77 campers are randomly selected and surveyed, it was found that the average number that prefer to camp at the beach was 16. Assume the population standard deviation is 2.3. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the true population mean of the number of campers who prefer to camp at the beach. Give your answers to 3 decimal places. Error =
The winner for Best Male Actor is 35 years old and winn3er for Best Female Actress is 47. The mean for all male actors is 45.1 with a standard deviation of 5.9 years. Mean age for all actresses is 31.1 and the standard deviation is 12.1 years. Relevent to gender, which winner has the most extreme age?
The mean age when smokers first start is 13 years old with a population standard deviation of 1.9 years. A researcher thinks that smoking age has significantly changed since the invention of ENDS- electronic nicotine delivery systems. A survey of smokers of this generation was done to see if the mean age has changed. The sample of 30 smokers found that their mean starting age was 12.2 years old. Do the data support the claim at the 1% significance level? What are the correct hypotheses? Ho: Select an answer v ? v years H3: Select an answer v years The test is: O One-tailed O Two-tailed

A labor department wants to study mean age of all people in the civilian labor force. The average age of 49 randomly selected people in the civilian labor force is found to be 35.6 years. Assuming the population standard deviation is 11, what is the 95% confidence interval for true population mean?
To qualify for a medical study, an applicant must have systolic blood pressure in the 60% of the middle range. If the systolic blood pressure is normally distributed with a mean of 120 and a standard deviation of 4, find the upper and lower limits of blood pressure a person must have to qualify for the study.
The mean age when smokers first start is 13 years old with a population standard deviation of 1.8 years. A researcher thinks that smoking age has significantly changed since the invention of ENDS—electronic nicotine delivery systems. A survey of smokers of this generation was done to see if the mean age has changed. The sample of 32 smokers found that their mean starting age was 12.4 years old. Do the data support the claim at the 1% significance level? What are the correct hypotheses?
