9a) Researchers obtained the body temperature of 52 healthy humans and found the average body temperature of these 52 people to be 98.4°F. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean body temperature of healthy humans. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.97°F. Interpret your result.

Find the sample size required to estimate the mean IQ of all college students. Assume we want a 90 per cent confidence level that the sample mean is within 2 IQ points of the true population mean. Also assume that the population standard deviation is 15 IQ points.
The mean score of a class of 30 students in their math test is 6.267. The standard deviation is 1.9 and at 95% confidence, the class interval was found to be CI = (5.587, 6.947). If the passing score is 7.5, did the class passed the test?
An agriculture researcher plants twenty five plots with a new variety of corn. The average yielded for these plots is x-bar = 150 bushels per acre. Assume that the yield per acre for the new variety of corn follows a normal distribution with unknown mean and standard deviation = 10 bushels per acre. A 90% Confidence interval for mean is?
Find the Margin of Error, if we are asked for 90% confidence interval where the mean is 52.3, the standard deviation is 2.15 and the sample size is 136.
Suppose the mean height in inches of all 9th grade students at one high school is estimated. The population standard deviation is 3 inches. The heights of 10 randomly selected students are 68, 62, 68, 75, 71, 60, 69, 62, 69 and 70. x¯ = Margin of error at 95% confidence level = 95% confidence interval = [
The standard deviation of the weights of elephants is known to be approximately 15 pounds. We wish to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of newborn elephant calves. Fifty newborn elephants are weighted. The sample mean is 244 pounds. The sample deviation is 11 pounds. State the distribution needed. Explain your reasoning. SE
Suppose the mean height in inches of all 9th grade students at one high school is estimated. The population standard deviation is 5 inches. The heights of 8 randomly selected students are 63, 60, 74, 68, 60, 66, 72 and 61. x¯ = Margin of error at 99% confidence level = 99% confidence interval =
A sample of 106 body temperatures was taken and the mean was 98.2 degrees F. The population standard deviation is 0.62 degrees. Use a 0.05 level of significance to test the claim that the average body temperature is actually different than 98.6 degrees F. Find the 95% confidence interval of the mean temperature and compare your results.
Suppose that a garage samples 21 customers. They find the average time for there oil change is 4,305 miles. Find a 90% confidence interval of the true mean, if the population standard deviation is 1,151.
Cotinine levels were measured in a group of non-smokers exposed to tobacco smoke (n =40), the mean of the sample was 60.58 ng/Ml and the standard deviation was 138.08 ng/Ml. Also, cotinine levels were measured in a group of non-smokers not exposed to tobacco smoke(n =40), the mean of the sample was 16.35 ng/mL and the standard deviation was 62.53 ng/mL. Cotinine is a metabolite of nicotine, meaning that when nicotine is absorbed by the body, cotinine is produced. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that non-smokers exposed to tobacco smoke have a higher mean nicotine level than nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke. a)Define the parameter and state null and alternative hypothesis b)Test Statistics c) Critical Value Approach d) Conclusion

Suppose that another sample of resting heart rates for five MAT 110 students was obtained: 72, 68, 66, 69, and 74 beats per minute. The standard deviation of this sample is approximately 3.19 BPM. Are the data values in this sample, or in your sample more spread out? Explain how you know. The resting heart rates for the other students were 66,67,69,70 and 71 with a deviation of 3.438
