Question
The method of tree ring dating gave the following years A.D. for an archaeological excavation site. Assume that the population of x values has an approximately
1299 | 1180 | 1257 | 1187 | 1268 | 1316 | 1275 | 1317 | 1275 |
(a) Use a calculator with mean and standard deviation keys to find the sample mean year x and sample standard deviation s. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
(b) Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean of all tree ring dates from this archaeological site. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)

- What is the population standard deviation using the following formulaarrow_forwardSuppose a researcher determined that 30.130.1% of people 18–34 years old in the United States have a college degree. She also finds that, among all Americans 18–34 years old, 5.75.7% have a college degree and live at home with their parents, whereas 25.425.4% do not have a college degree and live at home with their parents.

(Round to the nearest tenth as needed.) Which of the following best describes the relationship between the computed mean and the actual mean? O A. The computed mean is close to the actual mean because the difference between the means is more than 5% of the actual mean. B. The computed mean is not close to the actual mean because the difference between the means is less than 5% of the actual mean. C. The computed mean is not close to the actual mean because the difference between the means is more than 5% of the actual mean. D. The computed mean is close to the actual mean because the difference between the means is less than 5% of the actual mean.arrow_forwardAssume that the readings on the thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0° and standard deviation of 1.00°C. A thermometer is randomly selected and tested. Draw a sketch and find the temperature reading corresponding to P34, the 84th percentile.
