A botanist wishes to estimate the typical number of seeds for a certain fruit. She samples 66 specimens and counts the number of seeds in each. Use her sample results (mean = 18.7, standard deviation = 18.9) to find the 95% confidence interval for the number of seeds for the species. Enter your answer as an open-interval (i.e., parentheses).

A developmental psychologist is interested in studying how long babies gaze at a photograph of a human face. To test this question, she shows a picture to a sample of six babies and records the length of their gaze in seconds. The data are as follows: 12, 17, 18, 20, 20, 29. Calculate the mean, median, mode, range, variance and standard deviation for the sample.

Find the range, vanance, and standard deviation for the given sample data. Include appropriate units in the results. Listed below are the measured radiation absorption rates (in Wikg) corresponding to various cell phone models. If one of each model is measured for radiation and the results are used to find the measures of variation, are the results typical of the population of cell phones that are in use? 1.16 0.82 0.51 0.69 1.11 0.82 0.69 0.75 0.52 0.53 1.34
In the 1992 presidential election, Alaska's 40 election districts averaged 2002 votes per district for President Clinton. The standard deviation was 566. (There are only 40 election districts in Alaska.) The distribution of the votes per district for President Clinton was bell-shaped. Let X = number of votes for President Clinton for an election district. (Source: The World Almanac and Book of Facts) Round all answers except part e. to 4 decimal places. Find the third quartile for votes for President Clinton. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
