A personnel manager has found that, historically, the scores on aptitude tests given to applicants for entry-level positions follow a normal distribution with standard deviation 24.89 points. A random sample of 9 test scores from the current group of applicants had a mean score of 71.52 points. Based on these sample results, a statistician found for the population mean a confidence interval extending from 57.3327 to 85.7073 points. Find the confidence level of this interval.

A marketing researcher wants to estimate the mean amount spent ($) on a certain retail website by members of the website's premium program. A random sample of 91 members of the website's premium program who recently made a purchase on the website yielded a mean of$1700 and a standard deviation of $200. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean spending for all shoppers who are members of the website's premium program.
Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of women
A personnel manager has found that, historically, the scores on aptitude tests given to applicants for entry-level positions follow a normal distribution with standard deviation 22.57 points. A random sample of 13 test scores from the current group of applicants had a mean score of 69.78 points. Based on these sample results, a statistician found for the population mean a confidence interval extending from 58.0742 to 81.4858 points. Find the confidence level (as a value between zero and one) of this interval.
A study of a local high school tried to determine the mean number of text messages that each student sent per day. The study surveyed a random sample of 114 students in the high school and found a mean of 195 messages sent per day with a standard deviation of 73 messages. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean, rounding all values to the nearest whole number.
Researchers from a certain country were interested in how characteristics of the spleen of residents in their tropical environment compare to those found elsewhere in the world. The researchers randomly sampled 91 males and 109 females in their country. The mean and standard deviation of the spleen lengths for the males were 10.9 cm and 0.9 cm, respectively, and those for the females were 9.8 cm and 1.1 cm, respectively. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the difference between mean spleen lengths of males and females in this country. Click here to view page 1 of the table of critical values of t. Click here to view page 2 of the table of critical values of t. Let population 1 be all males in the country and let population 2 be all females in the country. The 95% confidence interval for µ1 - 4½ is ( | D (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.)
A study by the department of education of a certain state was trying to determine the mean SAT scores of the graduating high school seniors. The study examined the scores of a random sample of 190 graduating seniors and found the mean score to be 520 with a standard deviation of 87. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean, rounding all values to the nearest tenth.
A study of the career paths of hotel general managers sent questionnaires to an SRS of 210 hotels belonging to major U.S. hotel chains. There were 88 responses. The average time these 88 general managers had spent with their current company was 11.73 years. (Take it as known that the standard deviation of time with the company for all general managers is 3.6 years.)
For a random sample of 64 overweight men, the mean of the number of pounds that they were overweight was 30. The standard deviation of the population is 4.2 pounds. (a) Find the best point estimate for the average number of excess pounds for all overweight men. (b) Construct a 95% confidence interval of the mean of these pounds.
