- Assume that a sample is used to estimate a population mean μμ. Find the 95% confidence interval for a sample of size 50 with a mean of 68.3 and a population standard deviation of 21.8.

Over a period of clam 2 months, an adult male patient has taken eight blood tests for uric acid. The mean concentration was x = 5.35 mg/dl. The distribution of uric acid in healthy adult males can be assumed to be sono normal, with σ = 1.86mg/dl. Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean concentration of uric acid in this patient's blood.

- A simple random sample of 10 subjects finds that the sample mean is 56 and the standard deviation is 4. Find the 98% confidence interval for u. Display the result in interval notation. You must round your result to decimal places. Remember that the information you have is from a small sample, you must use the t distribution. Remember that critical values can be calculated in EXCEL using the degrees of freedom (n-1) and the level of significance (I - C) as a function of T.INV 2T (Level of Significance, Degrees of Freedom) Select one: a. The interval is: (53,057, 58,943) b. The range is: (53,521, 58,479). c. The interval is: (51,080, 60,920) d. The interval is: (51.991, 60.009) e.

The population standard deviation for the ages is 4.5. She selected a random sample of 32 nursing assistants and found the mean of their ages was 29.7. The population standard deviation of the ages for the assistants is 5.3. Find the 95% confidence interval of the differences in the ages. Use μ1 for the mean age of the nursing assistants.
