- The high price of medicines is a source of major expense for those seniors in the United States who have to pay for these medicines themselves. A random sample of 1600 seniors who pay for their medicines showed that they spent an average of $4300 last year on medicines with a standard deviation of $500. Make a 90% confidence interval for the corresponding population mean. Round your answers to cents. i to $ i %24arrow_forwardTina catches a 14-pound bass.

A pollster believes that it is less than 60% and sets out to prove it. A simple random sample of 900 people are surveyed and 504 responded that they approved of his work. The null hypothesis is that the mayor's approval rating is 60%. The observed percentage is %. Find the standard error for percentage. Hint: The SD for the box model is 0.6*0.4 0.49 The standard error for percentage is %. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent(for example 6.3%).arrow_forward
