Question
Suppose that in Problem 1 only 25 of 36 randomly selected family caregivers
responded, so we have the following data:
55 53 47 47 49 43 47 40 48 41 44 51 48
43 50 49 47 42 42 47 47 49 46 46 43
Assuming that these data come from a population that has a
(a) Determine a 99% confidence interval for the
(b) Determine a one-sided lower and one-sided upper 99% confidence interval for
the mean ages of all US caregivers.

The National Center for Educational Statistics recently chose a random sample of 100 newly graduated college students and queried each one about the time it took to complete his or her degree. If the sample mean was 5 years with a sample variance of 4 years: a. Construct a 95 percent confidence interval estimate of the mean completion time of all newly graduated students. b. а. b. What is the interpretation of this confidence interval? If the sample increases, what will happen to the width of the confidence band (explain why you believe so).

- Suppose a 95% confidence interval for the difference in test scores between Class 1 and Class 2 (in that order) is the following: 9 +/− 2. These results were based on independent samples of size 100 from each class. Now suppose you switch the order of Class 1 and Class 2 in your analysis but keep the data labeled correctly in terms of which class they came from. Which of the following statements is false? A) You can't do it this way. You'll get negative numbers for the difference in the means and/or negative numbers for the standard error. B) You are confident that the average for Class 2 is 7 to 11 points lower than for Class 1. C) You are still confident that the classes have significantly different mean scores. D) Your 95% confidence interval will now be entirely negative: from −7 to −11.arrow_forwardQuestion 82 parts A, B, and Carrow_forwardQuestion 2 The Warren County Telephone Company claims in its annual report that “the typical customer spends $60 per month on local and long distance service”.
