- Suppose Jason read an article stating that in a 2003-2004 survey, the average American adult man aged 19-30 drank an average of 1.47 liters of plain water per day with a standard deviation of 0.09 liters. Jason wants to find out if the men at his college drink a similar amount per day. He asks 45 of his male classmates in his Introductory Biology class to record the amount of water they drink in one day, and he is willing to assume that the standard deviation at his college is the same as in the 2003-2004 survey. Jason wants to construct a 99% confidence interval for μ, the average amount of water the men at his college drink per day. Have the requirements for constructing a z-confidence interval for a mean been met? Mark all of the following requirements that have been met with yes, and all the requirements that have not been met with no. ☐☐ ☐ ☐ The sample is a simple random sample. The population standard deviation is known.

- An ecologist is examining whether the number of fish caught in a large river basin has changed since a fire burned some of the surrounding forested area and vegetation along the river. Data in the form of fishing reports was available for a five-year period before the fire. From a random sample of 195 fishing reports before the fire, the mean catch was 6.3 fish with a standard deviation of 1.6. In a random sample of 143 reports three years after the fire, the mean catch was 7.1 fish with a standard deviation of 2.1. Which of the following represents the standard error of the difference in the mean number of fish caught before and after the fire?arrow_forwardOne year, the distribution of salaries for professional sports players had mean $1.6 million and standard deviation $0.8 million.
