Question
Suppose that the average time spent per day with digital media several years ago was
3
hours and
42
minutes. For last year, a random sample of
20
adults in a certain region spent the numbers of hours per day with digital media given in the accompanying table. Preliminary data analyses indicate that the t-interval procedure can reasonably be applied. Find and interpret a
95%
confidence interval for last year's x=5.49
hr and
s=2.20

- Suppose you work for the Department of Environment and National Resources (DENR). You want to estimate, with 95% confidence, the mean length of all tilapia in a fish hatchery pond. You take a random sample of 10 tilapia and determine the average length is 10.5 inches and the sample standard deviation is 2.9 inches. Construct a confidence interval for this sample and interpret the result.arrow_forwardA data set includes 106 body temperatures of healthy adult humans having a mean of 98.7°F and a standard deviation of 0.66°F. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans. What does the sample suggest about the use of 98.6°F as the mean body temperature?arrow_forwardThe design of controls and instruments affects how easily people can use them. A student project investigated this effect by asking 25 right handed students to turn a knob with their right hands that moved an indicator by screw action. There were two identical instruments, one with a right-hand thread and the other with a left-hand thread. The table given has the data from the student project.1. Calculate and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean time advantage of right hand over left hand threads in the setting above.arrow_forward
