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 23.29 points. A random sample of 11 test scores from the current group of applicants had a mean score of 72.14 points. Based on these sample results, a statistician found for the population mean a confidence interval extending from 58.7276 to 85.5524 points. Find the confidence level of this interval.

For a new study conducted by a fitness magazine, 220 females were randomly selected. For each, the mean daily calorie consumption was calculated for a September-February period. A second sample of 260 females was chosen independently of the first. For each of them, the mean daily calorie consumption was calculated for a March-August period. During the September-February period, participants consumed a mean of 2385.8 calories daily with a standard deviation of 218. During the March-August period, participants consumed a mean of 2414.2 calories daily with a standard deviation of 267.5. The population standard deviations of daily calories consumed for females in the two periods can be estimated using the sample standard deviations, as the samples that were used to compute them were quite large. Construct a 90% confidence interval for −μ1μ2, the difference between the mean daily calorie consumption μ1 of females in September-February and the mean daily calorie consumption μ2 of females…
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.
In a study of the use of hypnosis to relieve pain, sensory ratings were measured for 8 subjects and the mean sensory ratings was found to be 2.8 and standard deviation to be 0.3. The sensory ratings are normally distributed. The 80% confidence interval for the mean sensory ratings of the population is (9.35,11.65) b. (3.58, 4.64) (2.65, 2.95) d. (3.09, 3.91) (6.27, 8.73) a.

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
The mean number of English courses taken in a two-year time period by male and female college students is believed to be about the same. An experiment is conducted and data are collected from 29 males and 16 females. The males took an average of three English courses with a standard deviation of 0.8. The females took an average of four English courses with a standard deviation of 1.0. Are the means statistically the same? (Assume a 5% level of significance.)
A study of the career paths of hotel general managers sent questionnaires to an SRS of 200 hotels belonging to major U.S. hotel chains. There were 99 responses. The average time these 99 general managers had spent with their current company was 11.96 years. (Take it as known that the standard deviation of time with the company for all general managers is 3.8 years.) (a) Find the margin of error for an 85% confidence interval to estimate the mean time a general manager had spent with their current company: years (b) Find the margin of error for a 99% confidence interval to estimate the mean time a general manager had spent with their current company: years
a group of 59 randomly selected students have a mean score of 29.5 with a standard deviation of 5.2 on a placement test. what is the 90% confidence interval for the mean score, u, of all students taking the test?
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 36.4 points. A random sample of 16 test scores from the current group of applicants had mean 185.3 points. Based on these sample results, a statistician found for the population mean a confidence interval running from 167.5 to 203.1 points. What’s the probability content 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.
Scores on a standarized exam are known to follow a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 5. A researcher finds a random sample of 25 exam scores has a mean score of 72. Use this to find a 88% confidence interval for the mean exam score of all students taking the exam.
A recent study of 28 randomly selected employees of a company showed that the mean ofdistance they traveled to work was 14.3 miles. The standard deviation of the sample was 2.0miles. Find the 95% confidence interval of the true mean.
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.
