- Tina catches a 14-pound bass. She does not know the population mean or standard deviation. So she takes a sample of five friends and they say the last bass they caught was 9, 12, 13, 10, and 10 pounds. Find the t and calculate a 95% (α = .05) confidence interval.arrow_forwardProf. Gersch knows that the score on a standardized test is perfectly normal with unknown mean and a standard deviation of 50. He then takes a random sample of 25 tests and finds that the average of these is 200. How many exams should he sample so that the maximum margin of errorfor his 95% confidence interval is 10?: a. 98 b. 97 c. 100 d. 96 e. 10arrow_forwardthe standard deviation however is not squared? don't we have to square those first because SD is variance squared?arrow_forward
- Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 238 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 142.4 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 175.45 cm and a standard deviation of 5.59 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme? ... Since the z score for the tallest man is z = 0 and the z score for the shortest man is z = the man had the height that was Im- more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.) shortest tallestarrow_forwardThe mean test score for a simple random sample of n=100 students was =80. The population standard deviation of test scores is σ=15. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean test score μ.arrow_forwardThe brain volumes (cm³) of 20 brains have a mean of 1093.1 cm³ and a standard deviation of 120.6 cm³. Use the given standard deviation and the range rule of thumb to identify the limits separating values that are significantly low or significantly high. For such data, would a brain volume of 1284.3 cm³ be significantly high? Significantly low values are cm³ or lower. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) Significantly high values are 0cm³ (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) Is 1284.3 cm³ significantly high? cm³ or higher. OA. Yes, because it is above the upper limit separating value. OB. No, because it is between the limits separating values. O C. No, because it is above the upper limit separating value. O D. Yes, because it is between the limits separating values. OE. Yes, because it is below the lower limit separating value. OF. No, because it is below the lower limit separating value.arrow_forward

- The brain volumes (cm³) of 20 brains have a mean of 1113.7 cm³ and a standard deviation of 128.9 cm³. Use the give standard deviation and the range rule of thumb to identify the limits separating values that are significantly low or significantly high. For such data, would a brain volume of 1361.5 cm³ be significantly high? 3 Significantly low values are cm³ or lower. (Type an integer or a decimal.

This year, 65 new hires took the test and scored a mean of 113.2 points with a standard deviation of 13.4. Last year, 100 new hires took the test and scored a mean of 116.8 standard deviation of 14.6. Assume that the population standard deviations of the test scores of all new hires in the current year and the test scores of all new hires last year can be estimated by the sample standard deviations, as the samples used were quite large. Construct a 95% confidence interval points with for 4-, the difference between the mean test score u, of new hires from the current year and the mean test score , of new hires from last year. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to at least two decimal places.
