For a sample of 23 operating rooms taken in a hospital study, the mean noise level was 37.9 decibels, and the standard deviation was 7.6. Find the 95% confidence interval of the true mean of the noise levels in the operating rooms. Assume the variable is normally distributed. Use a graphing calculator and round the answers to at least one decimal place.
A marketing consultant is hired by a major restaurant chain wishing to investigate the preferences and spending patterns of lunch customers. The CEO of the chain hypothesized that the average customer spends at least $13.50 on lunch. A survey of 25 customers sampled at one of the restaurants found the average lunch bill per customer to be ?¯=$14.50 . Based on previous surveys, the restaurant informs the marketing manager that the standard deviation is ?=$3.50 . To address the CEO’s conjecture, the marketing manager carried out a hypothesis test of ?0:?=13.50 vs. ??:?>13.50 and obtained a ?‑value = 0.77. The marketing chooses a significance level of ?=0.10. If he uses this significance level throughout his work, how often will he reject a true null hypothesis? Group of answer choices a.He will reject 10% of all true null hypotheses. b. He will reject 1% of all true null hypotheses. c. He will reject 5% of all true null hypotheses. d. He will not reject 10% of all true null…
Newborn babies: A study conducted by the Center for Population Economics at the University of Chicago studied the birth weights of 716 babies born in New York. The mean weight was 3506 grams with a standard deviation of 868 grams. Assume that birth weight data are approximately bell-shaped. Estimate the number of newborns who weighed between 1770 grams and 5242 grams. Round to the nearest whole number. The number of newborns who weighed between 1770 grams and 5242 grams is
In a recent sample of 89 used cars sales costs, the sample mean was $6,225 with a standard deviation of $3,151. Assume the underlying distribution is approximately normal. Which distribution should you use for this problem? Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean cost of a used car.

Last year, the average amount that teams for the Statistics Games raised was $375. Have teams been more successful at fundraising this year? To find out, you take a random sample of 36 teams. Your sample of 36 teams yields a mean of $396 and a standard deviation of $70. Might you have made a Type 1 or Type 2 error? A Type 1. This means that we said that the mean amount raised had increased, when it was actually still $375. B You might have made a calculation error. C Neither- we're sure the average has increased. D Type 2. This would mean that we said there was not enough evidence to say the mean had increased from $375, when it actually is higher than $375. E Either kind is possible!

The salaries of professional baseball players are heavily skewed right with a mean of $3.2 million and a standard deviation of $2 million. The salaries of professional football players are also heavily skewed right with a mean of $1.9 million and a standard deviation of $1.5 million. A random sample of 40 baseball players’ salaries and 35 football players’ salaries is selected. The mean salary is determined for both samples. Let represent the difference in the mean salaries for baseball and football players. Which of the following represents the shape of the sampling distribution for ? skewed right since the populations are both right skewed skewed right since the differences in salaries cannot be negative approximately Normal since both sample sizes are greater than 30 approximately Normal since the sum of the sample sizes is greater than 30
