(a) Find a 99% confidence interval for the difference in mean blood cholesterol levels dogs brought to the clinic (P) and dogs owned by the clinic (C).(Round your answers to 4 decimal places, if needed.)
( , )
b) Based on this confidence interval, can we conclude there is some differences in mean blood cholesterol levels between the two groups?
Yes, since the interval is completely above 0.
No, since the interval is completely above 0.
Yes, since the interval contains 0.
No, since the interval contains 0.
It is believed that animals living in northern regions have shorter appendages than animals living in southern regions. Random samples of birds were selected from each group and wing lengths for birds (in millimeters) were measured. The following table gives summary statistics.

(a) Find a 98% confidence interval for the mean difference of wing lengths of birds between the northern regions and the southern regions. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places, if needed.)( , )
(b) Based on this confidence interval, is there enough evidence to support the belief?
Yes, since the interval contains 0.

No, since the interval contains 0.
Yes, since the interval is completely below 0.
Your investment advisor proposes a monthly income investment scheme which promises a variable income each month. You will invest in it only if you are assured an average monthly income of at least 780 dollars. Your advisor also tells you that, for the past 41 months, the scheme had incomes with an average value of 816 dollars and a standard deviation of 92 dollars.(a) Create a 95% confidence interval for the average monthly income of this scheme. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places, if needed.)

- A game at the local annual Apple Festival has players reach into a covered tub to pull out an apple. In the tub are 10 red apples, 3 green apples, and 1 yellow apple. Let R be the event of drawing a red apple, G be the event of drawing a green apple, and Y be the event of drawing a yellow apple. If a player draws a green apple, then the player has the choice of taking a $2 prize or (leaving the green apple out) reaching back into the tub for a chance to draw the yellow apple (which gives a prize of $20). There is no prize for drawing a red apple. First, find P(Rc). What does this mean regarding winning a prize on the first draw? Then, if on the first draw Deion pulls out a green apple, then decides to make a second draw instead of taking the $2 prize, what is the probability Deion will win at least $2?arrow_forwardThe table describes the distribution of a random sample S of 200 individuals, arranged by education level and income.
