Explain why it is not necessary to assess normality for this sample Write an interpretation for your confidence interval, including units if appropriate. You may round the upper and lower limits to the nearest whole number. Does the confidence interval estimate the mean weight for the sample of 52 NFL players or for the population of NFL players?

They each survey a different random sample of college students, and in each sample, the proportion who can play at least one musical instrument is 0.35. Kit and Casey each use their sample data to construct a confidence interval. Kit's interval is from 0.308 to 0.372 and Casey's interval is from 0.318 to 0.382. One of these intervals was computed correctly, but the other was not. Which interval must be incorrect? O Kit's interval must be incorrect.

- The dean of students at a large college is interested in learning about their opinions regarding the percentage of first-year students who should be given parking privileges in the main lot. He sends out an email survey to all students about this issue. A large number of first-year students reply but very few sophomores, juniors, and seniors reply. Based on the responses he receives, he constructs a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of students who believe first-year students should be given parking privileges in the main lot to be (0.71, 0.79). Which of the following may have an impact on the confidence interval, but is not accounted for by the margin of error? response bias O nonresponse bias O sampling variation O undercoverage biasarrow_forwardMedical School Enrollments.
