A botanist wishes to estimate the typical number of seeds for a certain fruit. She samples 60 specimens and counts the number of seeds in each. Use her sample results (mean = 66.3, standard deviation = 17.1) to find the 98% confidence interval for the number of seeds for the species. Enter your answer as an open-interval (i.e., parentheses) accurate to 3 decimal places.

Loretta, who turns 91 this year, has heard that the mean systolic blood pressure among the elderly is 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), but she believes that the actual value is higher. She bases her belief on a recently reported study of 19 randomly selected, elderly adults. The sample mean systolic blood pressure of the adults in the study was 121 mm Hg , and the sample standard deviation was 20 mm Hg. Assume that the population of systolic blood pressures of elderly adults is normally distributed. Based on the study, at the 0.1 level of significance, can it be concluded that μ , the mean systolic blood pressure among elderly adults, is greater than 120 mm Hg? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table. (a) State the null hypothesis H0? and the alternative hypothesis H1? . H0:? H1:? (b) Determine the type of test statistic to…
A basketball player makes 56 free throws in a season. The average number of free throws made in the league is 52, and the standard deviation is 4. A softball player makes 42 hits in a season. The average number of hits mase in the league is 38, and the standard deviation is 6. Calculate Z-scores for the two and compare them. Which one is better at their sport?
In a recent year, Washington State public school students taking a mathematics assessment test had a mean score of 276.1 and a standard deviation of 34.4. A random sample of 64 students is drawn from this population. Identify the mean and standard deviation of the sample mean scores. 2. Find the probability that the sample mean score is at least 285.
A statistician wants to determine if there is a significant difference in the average height of male and female college students. He collects a random sample of 100 males and 100 females and calculates their heights (in cm). The sample mean height for males is 175 cm and the sample mean height for females is 165 cm. The sample standard deviation for males is 6 cm and the sample standard deviation for females is 5 cm. Conduct an independent samples t-test to determine if there is a significant difference in the average height between males and females at a significance level of 0.05.
To celebrate the end of final exams you and friends head to a favorite downtown restaurant. You find a street parking spot with a maximum of two hours. If you stay longer than two hours, you risk having your car towed away. No one has a watch or cellphone but you remember that the average time you spent at the same restaurant over your previous 16 visits is 1.5 hours, and you estimate the sample standard deviation to be about 20 minutes. You also need to factor in that it takes 8 minutes to walk to the restaurant and 8 minutes to walk back to your car (you are very certain about these two durations). (a) One of your friends is really worried that you won’t get back to the car in time and so the car might be towed away! Does your friend have good reason to be worried? Test at a 5% significance level whether the mean total time will be less than two hours. (b) You decide to leave the car parked at the street spot but it gets towed. What type of error have you committed?
Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 245 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 60.8 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 173.94 cm and a standard deviation of 6.92 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme?
