Tina catches a 14-pound bass. She does not know the population mean or standard deviation. So she takes a sample of five friends and they say the last bass they caught was 9, 12, 13, 10, and 10 pounds. Find the t and calculate a 95% (α = .05) confidence interval.
A statistics practitioner took a random sample of 55 observations from a population whose standard deviation is 28 and computed the sample mean to be 110. Note: For each confidence interval, enter your answer in the form (LCL, UCL). You must include the parentheses and the comma between the confidence limits. A. Estimate the population mean with 95% confidence. Confidence Interval =| B. Estimate the population mean with 90% confidence. Confidence Interval = C.

. Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is ? = 19 inches. However, the Creel Survey reported that of a random sample of 49 fish caught, themean length was ?̅= 18.5 inches, with estimated standard deviation ? = 3.2 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than ? = 19 inches? Use ? = 0.05.a. Do we use a Normal or a Student’s t- distribution? Explain. How many degrees of freedom do we use?b. What are the hypotheses?
