- a simple random sample of 9 college freshmen were asked how many hour of sleep they typically got per night. The results were 8.5,6.5,8,9,6,7.5,24,8.5,9.5. Elminate the outlier, then consturct a 90% confidence interval for the mean amount of sleep from the remaining values.arrow_forwardTwenty-five fast-food restaurant hourly employees were surveyed to see how many hours they worked per week, on average. The following data was obtained:31, 43, 33, 20, 46, 52, 34, 26, 30, 40, 28, 44, 3, 46, 51, 43, 24, 31, 37, 55, 41, 42, 38, 24, 28Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean number of hours per week that the population of fast-food restaurant employees work.xˉ=s=α2=tα2=Margin of Error: E=We are 99% confident that fast-food restaurant hourly employees, on average, work between___ hours and ___hours per week.arrow_forwardDuring the nutrition research, the amount of consumed kilocalories per day was measured for 18 people - 10 women and 8 men.

Calculate a 90% confidence interval on the mean for women and men separately. Assume distribution to be normal. Round your answers to the nearest integer (e.g. 9876). Women: i Men: iarrow_forward
- The work week for adults in the US that work full time is normally distributed with a mean of 47 hours. A newly hired engineer at a start-up company believes that employees at start-up companies work more on average then most working adults in the US. She asks 12 engineering friends at start-ups for the lengths in hours of their work week. Their responses are shown in the table below. Test the claim using a 5% level of significance. Give answer to at least 4 decimal places. Hours 46 49 58 55 49 68 45 48 46 45 51 50 What are the correct hypotheses? H0: hoursH1: hours Based on the hypotheses, find the following:Test Statistic=p-value= The correct decision is to . The correct summary would be: that the mean number of hours of all employees at start-up companies work more than the US mean of 47 hours.arrow_forwardDuring the nutrition research, the amount of consumed kilocalories per day was measured for 18 people - 10 women and 8 men.

Male 0,48 0,36 0,20 0,55 0,45 0,46 0,47 0,23 Female 0,35 0,37 0,27 0,29 Can noradrenaline concentrations be considered to be significantly different between the sexes (considering the 95% confidence level)? Carry out the appropriate hypothesis test, clearly showing how the calculated, critical values (confidence level and degrees of freedom) were obtained and concluding in full whether the null hypothesis is true or not.arrow_forward
