- 20 TV remote controls were followed over the years to find the mean lifespan of this model. The sample gave a mean of 7.2 years, and the standard deviation of 0.6 years. The distribution of the population is unknown. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean lifespan of these remote controls.arrow_forwardA large number of bags of cement have been manufactured. You sample 10 of the bags and find that they have a mean weight of 91.5 pounds with a standard deviation of 8.8 pounds. Find the 90 % confidence limit for the mean of the weight of all of the cement bags.arrow_forwardFind the Margin of Error, if we are asked for 90% confidence interval where the mean is 52.3, the standard deviation is 2.15 and the sample size is 136.arrow_forward
- A forestry researcher is conducting a study of trees in the upper midwest. He selects a random sample of 125 red maple trees and measures the trunk diameter of each. The mean of the sample is 25 inches with a standard deviation of 5.2 inches, use this to find a 95% confidence interval for the mean trunk diameter of all red maple trees.arrow_forwardIt takes an average of 9.1 minutes for blood to begin clotting after an injury. An EMT wants to see if the average will decline if the patient is immediately told the truth about the injury. The EMT randomly selected 49 injured patients to immediately tell the truth about the injury and noticed that they averaged 8 minutes for their blood to begin clotting after their injury. Their standard deviation was 3.31 minutes. What can be concluded at the the a = 0.05 level of significance? a. For this study, we should use Select an answer b. The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Hint: Ho: ? H₁: ? Select an answer Select an answer C c. The test statistic? is -2.326. Enter it here d. The p-value is 0.0121364015. Enter it here e. The p-value is ? a f. Based on this, we should Select an answer the null hypothesis. g. Thus, the final conclusion is that ... (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.)

She bases her belief on a recently reported study of 19 randomly selected, elderly adults. The sample mean systolic blood pressure of the adults in the study was 121 mm Hg , and the sample standard deviation was 20 mm Hg. Assume that the population of systolic blood pressures of elderly adults is normally distributed. Based on the study, at the 0.1 level of significance, can it be concluded that μ , the mean systolic blood pressure among elderly adults, is greater than 120 mm Hg? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table.

The distribution of ages has been approximately normal. Find the 90% confidence interval for the population standard deviation of the student ages of the University. A random sample of 20 university students has a standard deviation of 6.1 years in a mean of 23.8 years what is the confidence interval of the population standard deviation?arrow_forward
- A survey of 30 adults found that the mean age of a person's vehicle is 3.6 years. Assuming the population distribution is normal and the standard deviation is 2 years, find the 94% confidence interval for the population mean.

Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake isμ=19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a simple random sample of 38 fish caught, the mean length was 19.9 inches, with estimated standard deviation of 3.1 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is different from μ=19inches? Use α=0.001. What is the value of the test statistic?
