A factory in Louisville, Kentucky, produces baseball bats. The diameter of the bat should be 10.4 cm. Out of 324 samples, the sample mean is 10.530000000000001 cm with a sample standard deviation of 0.39 cm. Give a 90% confidence interval for the mean diameter (i.e., the lower and upper bound of the confidence interval). Tib number (rtol=0.01, atol=0.0001) Tub number (rtol=0.01, atol=0.0001) The manager wants to know the 99% confidence interval to be within at most +/- 0.02 cm. How many samples would you (as the junior engineer) need to take to satisfy the manager's desire for precision? n number (rtol=0.01, atol=0.0001)

Many people believe that the average number of Facebook friends is 125. The population standard deviation is 36.8. A random sample of 49 high school students in a particular county revealed that the average number of Facebook friends was 146. At =α0.05, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean number of friends is greater than 125? State the hypotheses and identify the claim with the correct hypothesis. :H0 ▼= :H1 ▼= This hypotheses test is a one tailed or two tailed test z score critical value(s) reject or accept this hypothesis is there enough evidence to support the claim
A random sample of 100 households was selected as part of a study on electricity usage, and the number of kilowatt-hours (kWh) was recorded for each household .The average usage was found to be 10.5 kWh. In a very large study in the previous year it was found that the standard deviation of the usage was 3.2 kWh. Assuming the standard deviation is unchanged and that the usage is normally distributed, calculate a 90% confidence interval for the mean usage (round to two decimals) a. (9.68 , 11.30) O b.

A sample of 50 lenses used in eyeglasses yields a sample mean thickness of 3.07 mm and a sample standard deviation of 0.36 mm. The desired true average thickness of such lenses is 3.20 mm. Does the data strongly suggest that the true average thickness of such lenses is something other than what is desired? Test using alpha of 0.05. what is the result of the test
The mean SAT score in mathematics is 513. The standard deviation of these scores is 49. A special preparation course claims that the mean SAT score, μ, of its graduates is greater than 513. An independent researcher tests this by taking a random sample of 70 students who completed the course; the mean SAT score in mathematics for the sample was 517. At the 0.05 level of significance, can we conclude that the population mean SAT score for graduates of the course is greater than 513? Assume that the population standard deviation of the scores of course graduates is also 49. Perform a one-tailed test. 1. I just need to know what the test statistic is rounded to 3 or more decimal places.
A sample of 49 sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) cases had a mean birth weight of 2998 g. Based on other births in the county, we will assume σ = 800 g. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the mean birth weight of SIDS cases in the county. Interpret your results.
A car manufacture produces a new car that advertises an average of 30 MPG. The distribution of MPG of cars is normally distributed. The manufacturer will test 30 cars off the assembly line to find a confidence interval of the average MPG of their new vehicle to determine if it is close to 30. The average MPG of the 30 cars is 31.2 gallons with a standard deviation of 2 gallons. Find a 95% confidence interval for the average MPG of the new vehicle.

A nutritionist selected a random sample of n = 50 adult males. The average daily intake of dairy products was found to be x (bar above) = 756 grams per day, with a standard deviation of s = 35 grams per day. Use this sample information to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean daily intake of dairy products for men.

You want to estimate the mean weight of quarters in circulation. A sample of 60 quarters has a mean weight of 5.625 grams and a standard deviation of 0.067 gram. Use a single value to estimate the mean weight of all quarters. Also, find the 95% confidence interval for the average weight of all quarters. The estimate for the mean weight of all quarters is 5.625 grams. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Find the 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of all quarters.

Systolic blood pressure levels above 120 mm Hg are considered to be high. For the 100 systolic blood pressure levels listed in the accompanying data set, the mean is 128.86000 mm Hg and the standard deviation is 15.28254 mm Hg. Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean greater than 120 mm Hg.LOADING...
