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.

The distribution of heights in a population of women is approximately normal. Sixteen percent of the women have heights less than 62 inches. About 97.5% of the women have heights less than 71 inches. Use the empirical rule to estimate the mean and standard deviation of the heights in this population. Mean: K inches Standard Deviation: inches
A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 241.2-cm and a standard deviation of 0.6-cm.Find P22, which is the length separating the shortest 22% rods from the longest 78%.P22 =
You have a sample of 48 randomly selected Vancouverites. On average (the sample mean), the people in your sample spent 425 hours eating food in 2020. The least time a person in the sample spent eating food in 2020 is 367 hours and the most time a person in the sample spent eating food in 2020 is 484 hours. What would be your best guess about the population standard deviation of the time a Vancouverite spent eating food in 2020? Give the number and explain (including assumptions you make about the population distribution).
A successful basketball player has a height of 6 feet 11 inches, or 211 cm. Based on statistics from a data set, his height converts to the z score of 5.17. How many standard deviations is his height above the mean?
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?
The mean height of male college students in a large city is 68 inches and the standard deviation is 5 inches. What height would a male college student must have in order for the student's height to be the cutoff point for the 95th percentile? (What is the lowest height in the top 5%?)
Find the value of the standardized test statistic.
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?
A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 119.5-cm and a standard deviation of 2.2-cm. For shipment, 24 steel rods are bundled together.Find P75, which is the average length separating the smallest 75% bundles from the largest 25% bundles.P75 = -cm
