We are interested in estimating the average amount spent per customer for lunch in a restaurant in Muscat. Data were collected for a sample of 25 customers. Assume a population standard deviation of 0.5 OMR. If the sample mean is 2 OMR then the 99% confidence interval for the population mean is Select one: O A. (1.7674, 2.2326) B. (1.7425, 2.2575) O C.

Surveys were sent to a random sample of owners of all-wheel-drive (AWDAWD) vehicles and to a random sample of owners of front-wheel-drive (FWDFWD) vehicles. The proportion of owners who were satisfied with their vehicles was recorded for each sample. The sample proportions were used to construct the 95 percent confidence interval for a difference in population proportions (FWDFWD minus AWDAWD) for satisfied owners. The interval is given as (−0.01,0.12)(−0.01,0.12). A car company believes that the proportion of satisfied owners of AWDAWD vehicles differs from the proportion of satisfied owners of FWDFWD vehicles. Does the confidence interval provide evidence that this belief is plausible? No. The interval contains 0. A No. Most of the values in the interval are not close to 0. B No. The value of 0 is not in the middle of the interval. C Yes. The interval does contain 0. D Yes. There are more positive values in the interval than negative values. E

Express your answer in 3 decimal places. a. tą (positive value only):
Here are summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn girls: n=217, x=31.7hg, s=6.5hg. Construct a confidence interval estimate of the mean. Use a 98% confidence level. Are these results very different from the confidence interval 29.6hg<μ<32.6hg with only 17 sample values, x=31.1hg, and s=2.4hg? What is the confidence interval for the population mean μ? hg < μ < hg (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

At Western University the historical mean of scholarship examination scores for freshman applications is 900. A historical population standard deviation = 180 is assumed known. Each year, the assistant dean uses a sample of applications to determine whether the mean examination score for the new freshman applications has changed. a. State the hypotheses. Ho: 0:equal to 900 Ha: not equal to 900 b. What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean examination score if a sample of 200 applications provided a sample mean of = 935 (to the nearest whole number)? c. Use the confidence interval to conduct a hypothesis test. Using a = 0.05, can the assistant dean conclude that the mean examination score for the new freshman applications has changed? - Select your answer - d. What is the p-value (to 4 decimals)?
