- Tina catches a 14-pound bass. She does not know the population mean or standard deviation. So she takes a sample of five friends and they say the last bass they caught was 9, 12, 13, 10, and 10 pounds. Find the t and calculate a 95% (α = .05) confidence interval.arrow_forwardA statistics class is estimating the mean height of all female students at their college. They collect a random sample of 42 female students and measure their heights. The mean of the sample is 65.3 inches and the sample standard deviation is 5.4 inches. Find the 90% confidence interval for the mean height of all female students in their school? Assume that the distribution of individual female heights at this school is approximately normal. 1.

- Use the standard normal distribution or the t-distribution to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. Justify your decision. If neither distribution can be used, explain why. Interpret the results. In a recent season, the population standard deviation of the yards per carry for all running backs was 1.36. The yards per carry of 25 randomly selected running backs are shown below. Assume the yards per carry are normally distributed. 2.6 3.5 3.1 4.6 3.4 4.9 7.4 6.7 4.3 5.2 3.9 4.6 2.9 5.6 6.6 7.3 6.5 7.2 96 1.9 5.6 2.7 22 2.8 5.2 4.1 3.6 Interpret the results. Choose the correct answer below. OA. If a large sample of players are taken approximately 95% of them will have yards per carry between the bounds of the confidence interval. OB. With 95% confidence, it can be said that the population mean yards per carry is between the bounds of the confidence interval. OC.

- answer e,f,g The following random sample was selected from a normal distribution: 4, 6, 3, 5, 9, 3. d. Assume that the sample mean x and sample standard deviation s remain exactly the same as those you just calculated but are based on a sample of n = 25 observations rather than n = 6 observations. Repeat parts a–c. What is the effect of increasing the sample size on the width of the confidence intervals? e. Use Rejection region to test the null hypothesis that the mean of the population is 6 against the alternative hypothesis, ?<6. Use ? = .05. f.
