- How much money does the average professional hockey fan spend on food at a single hockey game? That question was posed to 10 randomly selected hockey fans. The sampled results show that sample mean and standard deviation were $12.00 and $2.80, respectively. Use this information to create a 95% confidence interval for the mean. Express the answer in the form x+ t/2 (s/ Vn). O A. 12+ 1.833(2.80//10) O B. 12+2.262(2.80//10 OC. 12+2.228(2.80//10) O D. 12+2.201(2.80//10)arrow_forwardMrs. Gallas wanted to estimate the average weight of an Oreo cookie to determine if theaverage weight was less than advertised. She selected a random sample of 30 cookies andfound the weight of each cookie (in grams). The mean weight was = 11.1921 grams with astandard deviation of sx = 0.0817 grams. Make a 95% confidence interval to estimate the truemean weight of an Oreo. 1.

- A sample of 32 people were randomly selected from among the workers in a shoe factory. The time taken for each person to polish a finished shoe was measured. The sample mean was 3.10 minutes. Assume σ = 0.94 minutes. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the true mean time, µ, to polish a shoe. Write down which table and critical value you used. Make sure you round your interval numbers correctly and circle your answer.arrow_forwardUse the given confidence interval to find the margin of error and the sample mean.

- Suppose that the lengths, in inches, of adult corn snakes are normally distributed with an unknown mean and standard deviation. A random sample of 38 snakes is taken and gives a sample mean of 53 inches and a sample standard deviation of 6 inches. Find a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean using the Student's t-distribution. Select the correct answer below: (51.36,54.64), with ME=(1.686)(638√) (51.03,54.97), with ME=(2.024)(638√) (51.00,55.00), with ME=(2.026)(637√) (51.03,54.97), with ME=(2.026)(638√) (51.34,54.66), with ME=(1.686)(637√) (51.34,54.66), with ME=(1.687)(637√)arrow_forwardA random sample of students taking STAT 201 this semester was pulled. Among other things, the survey asked the number of hours the student spent studying for the final exam.
