We are trying to estimate the average lifespan of all Neanderthal humans who lived 100,000 years ago. We collect a sample of 56 skeletons from caves andconstruct a 95% confidence interval for their lifespans. Which of the following most likely explains why this interval does not include the true average lifespan:A. There is ongoing debate about how not all human beings present in the world today evolved from NeanderthalsB. The true population mean value of Neanderthal lifespans is neither known, nor likely to be the best measure of central tendencyC. Bones buries in caves are not representative of all humans of that time since they are more likely survive than bones buried elsewhereD. The lifespans of Neanderthal humans likely did not followa normal distribution but was likely skewed since many Neanderthal children died in infancy

An insurance company selected samples of clients under 18 years of age and over 18 and recorded the number of accidents they had in the previous year. We are interested in determining if the accident proportions differ between the two age groups. The results are shown below. a =0.05 Under age of 18 Over age of 18 n₂ =500 n₁ = 480 Number of accidents = 160 Number of accidents = 140 The test statistic is A 90% confidence interval for the proportion between two age groups is approximately Given a 5% level of significance, what decision should be reached about the null hypothesis
Millionaires. Professor Thomas Stanley of Georgia State University has surveyed millionaires since 1973. Among other information, Professor Stanley obtains estimates for the mean age, µ, of all U.S. millionaires. Suppose that one year’s study involved a simple random sample of 36 U.S. millionaires whose mean age was 58.53 years with a sample standarddeviation of 13.36 years. a. If, for next year’s study, a confidence interval for µ is to have a margin of error of 2 years and a confidence level of 95%, determine the required sample size.b. Why did you use the sample standard deviation, s = 13.36, in place of σ in your solution to part (a)? Why is it permissible to do so?
