Since he wants to quickly obtain an estimate of the mean score on the exam he takes a random sample of 12 exams and determines that the average score is 82 with a standard deviation of 10. Construct a 95% confidence interval on the mean scores from this exam. Provide your formula used along with your result. Explain implications of what you have done. Interpret the final confidence interval you have obtained.arrow_forward
- Q.3/ Assume that the following five numbers are sampled from a normal distribution: 2, 3, 5, 6 and 9 and the standard deviation is not known. Compute the 95% confidence interval.arrow_forwardIn a study of 110 women and 116 men, it was found that mean body temperature for women was 97.690 F and mean body temperature for men was 97.450 F. Assume that the populations are independent, and the standard deviations were found to to be 0.89o F for women, and 0.660 F for men. Use an α = 0.05 significance level to test the claim that woman and men have different mean body temperatures. For full credit your hypothesis test must include: the claim, the null and alternate hypothesis, your test statistic and corresponding p-value, your decision, and the interpretation of your decision as it relates to the claim. It is acceptable to use technology to calculate the test statistic and the p-value here.arrow_forwardYou measure 35 backpacks' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 64 ounces.
