2. Each of the following is a confidence interval for u = true average (i.e., population mean) resonance frequency (Hz) for all tennis rackets of a certain type: (114.4, 115.6) (114.1, 115.9) a. What is the value of the sample mean resonance frequency? b. Both intervals were calculated from the same sample data. The confidence level for one of these intervals is 90% and for the other is 99%. Which of the intervals has the 90% confidence level, and why?

Which of the following terms is added and subtracted to the sample mean in order to obtain a 90% confidence interval containing the population mean? 1.960 Vn 1.645o 1.645- 1.960o
Which of the following t values would be used to construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean with a sample of size n=17?
A study is conducted to compare the performance of students with more than one personal electronic gadget and those with only one. A number of them were taken as subjects for the study. The mean grades of these students and the standard deviations are shown below: For one gadget: The mean is 83, standard deviation is 12, and sample size is 7. For more than one gadget: The mean is 79, standard deviation is 13, and sample size is 5. Is it possible to conclude that there is no significant difference in the mean grades of the two types of students at a 95% confidence interval? Note: This is a two-tailed test. Also take note that this is finding the difference between two population means.
A professor was curious about her students' grade point averages. She took a random sample of 15 students and found a mean GPA of 3.01 with a standard deviation of 0.534. Which of the following formulas gives a 99% confidence interval for the mean GPA of the professor's students?

Given the following information: My confidence intervals: 90% confidence interval = (2.33, 2.56), and 99% confidence interval = (2.26, 2.63) My peer's confidence intervals: 90% confidence interval at ( 2.37 , 2.61 ) and 99% confidence interval at ( 2.31 , 2.67). How do their confidence intervals compare with yours? If the population standard deviation is unknown and the sample size is not sufficiently large, would you still use the Normal distribution to calculate these confidence intervals, or would you choose another distribution? If the latter, which distribution would you choose?
