Question
A botanist wishes to estimate the typical number of seeds for a certain fruit. She samples 67 specimens and counts the number of seeds in each. Use her sample results (mean = 17.7, standard deviation = 13.5) to find the 99% confidence interval for the number of seeds for the species. Enter your answer as an open-interval (i.e., parentheses) accurate to 3 decimal places.

- A developmental psychologist is interested in studying how long babies gaze at a photograph of a human face. To test this question, she shows a picture to a sample of six babies and records the length of their gaze in seconds. The data are as follows: 12, 17, 18, 20, 20, 29. Calculate the mean, median, mode, range, variance and standard deviation for the sample.arrow_forwardConsider the given data set. n = 12 measurements: 9, 8, 1, 5, 5, 7, 5, 6, 8, 7, 2, 0 Find the mean. USE SALT Find the standard deviation. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) z = Find the z-score corresponding to the minimum in the data set. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Find the z-score corresponding to the maximum in the data set. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) z = Do the z-scores indicate that there are possible outliers in the data set? Since the z-score for the larger observation is larger than 2 in absolute value, the larger value is unusually large. Since both z-scores exceed 2 in absolute value, both of the observations are unusual. Since neither z-score exceeds 2 in absolute value, none of the observations are unusually small or large. Since the z-score for the smaller observation is larger than 2 in absolute value, the smaller value is unusually small.arrow_forwardAssume that distances people driving to work are normally distributed.
