Determine whether the following statements are True or False:
In a confidence interval (CI) for a population
If we constructed 1000 independent 90% CI’s for a population mean µ, then
we’d expect about 900 of them to contain µ
If we increase the

- A statistics professor wants to compare today's students with those 25 years ago. All of his current students' marks are stored on a computer so that he can easily determine the population mean. However, the marks 25 years ago reside only in his musty files. He does not want to retrieve all the marks and will be satisfied with a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean mark 25 years ago. If he assumes that the population standard deviation is 14, how large a sample should he take to estimate the mean to within 5 marks? Sample Size =arrow_forwardSuppose you take a sample of size 46 from a Normal distribution with unknown population mean and a population standard deviation of 11. You find your sample has mean 406 and intend to use this as an estimate in a confidence interval. If you wish to construct a 95% confidence interval, what margin of error should you use? Give your answer to two decimal placesarrow_forwardQuestion 7 Isabella wants to advertise how many chocolate chips are in each Big Chip cookie at her bakery. She randomly selects a sample of 41 cookies and finds that the number of chocolate chips per cookie in the sample has a mean of 11.4 and a standard deviation of 1.3. What is the 99% confidence interval for the number of chocolate chips per cookie for Big Chip cookies? Assume the data is from a normally distributed population. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible.arrow_forward
- Import the data from the Hill City Excel file into Minitab.You are trying to predict Price.Note: Mtn View=1 if there is a mountain view, 0 otherwise. The rest of the variables should be self explanatory. 1.Perform an F Test for overall significance of the model 2.Perform a T test for slope for the age variable 3. Find a 95% confidence interval for the slope of the SqFeet variable4. Create a prediction, CI, and PI for 1 new set of x values (any valid numbers you want), and interpret each.5. Run the residual plots and indicate if they show any problems with the model.arrow_forwardA research scholar wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of virus reproduces. He wants to construct the 80% confidence interval with a maximum error of 0.2 reproductions per hour. Assuming that the mean is 6.4 reproductions and the variance is known to be 5.29, what is the minimum sample size required for the estimate? Round your answer up to the next integer.arrow_forwardA research scholar wants to know how many times per hour a certain strand of virus reproduces.

She randomly selects a sample of 41 cookies and finds that the number of chocolate chips per cookie in the sample has a mean of 14.3 and a standard deviation of 2.2. What is the 90% confidence interval for the number of chocolate chips per cookie for Big Chip cookies?

- The electric cooperative needs to know the mean household usage of electricity by its non-commercial customers in kWh per day. They would like the estimate to have a maximum error of 0.14 kWh. A previous study found that for an average family the variance is 4.84 kWh and the mean is 19.1 kWh per day. If they are using a 80% level of confidence, how large of a sample is required to estimate the mean usage of electricity?
