Question

Transcribed Image Text:Please use the accompanying Excel data set or accompanying Text file data set when completing
the following exercise.
The yield of a chemical process is being studied. From previous experience, yield is known to be
normally distributed and o = 3. The past five days of plant operation have resulted in the
following yields 91.6, 88.75, 90.8, 89.66, and 91.5. Find a 95% two-sided confidence interval on
the true mean yield.
(a) Calculate the sample mean. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
x = i 90.524
(b) Calculate the 95% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean yield. Round your answers
to 1 decimal place.

A sociologist wondered whether the mean age of a death-row inmate has changed since then. She randomly selects 32 death-row inmates and finds that their mean age is 39.4, with a standard deviation of 9.5. Construct a 95% confidence interval about the mean age.

- Choose the appropriate statistical test. When computing, be sure to round each answer as indicated. A dentist wonders if depression affects ratings of tooth pain. In the general population, using a scale of 1-10 with higher values indicating more pain, the average pain rating for patients with toothaches is 6.8. A sample of 30 patients that show high levels of depression have an average pain rating of 7.1 (variance 0.8). What should the dentist determine? 1. Calculate the estimated standard error.
