14. The standard deviation of a normal population is 10. You take a sample of 25 items from this population and compute a 95% confidence interval. In order to compute the confidence interval, you will use a. the t table because the degrees of freedom will be 24. b. the t table because you have estimated the standard deviation from the sample. c. the z table because the population standard deviation is known. d. the z table because the sample size is small. none of the above

A statistics class is estimating the mean height of all female students at their college. They collect a random sample of 42 female students and measure their heights. The mean of the sample is 65.3 inches and the sample standard deviation is 5.4 inches. Find the 90% confidence interval for the mean height of all female students in their school? Assume that the distribution of individual female heights at this school is approximately normal. 1. The t value is 1.3025 2. The standard error has a value of -- 3. The margin of error has a value of 4. Find the 90% confidence interval for the mean height of all female students in their school
There are several sections of Statistics; some in the morning and some in the afternoon. We randomly select n1 40 from the morning section and 44 from the afternoon section. The averages n2 of their scores are X1 76.3 for the morning section and X, = 71.9 for the afternoon section. The known standard deviations of their scores are 01 12.05 for the morning section and 02 13.06 for the afternoon section. Test the claim that the average for all students in the morning and afternoon section is the same. Use a a = 0.05 significance level. a. What is the negative critical region? Give your answer to two decimal places. z c. What is the test statistic? Give your answer to two decimal places. z = d. Do we reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
