A phone company has conducted a study of the time its clients spend talking on their cellular phones each day. For a sample of 16 clients the company has obtained a sample standard deviation of 13.3 minutes. We assume that the talk time follows a nomal distribution. The confidence interval at the 90% level for the standard deviation of the talk time in the population is:

A simple random sample of 1000 people age 18 or over is taken in a large town. It turns out that 189 people in the sample are newspaper readers. Calculate a 95%-confidence interval for the percentage of people (age 18 and over) in that town who read newspapers.

A researcher is attempting to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean average wingspan of Statsian Swallows in a particular rainforest.

Random and independent samples of 80 recent prime time airings from each of two major networks have been considered. The first network aired a mean of 110.7 commercials during prime time, with a standard deviation of 4.9 commercials. The second network aired a mean of 109.3 commercials, with a standard deviation of 4.6 commercials. As the sample sizes are quite large, the population standard deviations can be estimated using the sample standard deviations. Construct a 95% confidence interval for u,-u,, the difference between the mean number of commercials u, aired during prime time by the first network and the mean number of commercials u, aired during prime time by the second network. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to at least two decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) Lower limit: || Upper limit: ||

Nielsen Media Research conducted a study of household television viewing time during the 7PM to 10PM time period (This is known as Prime Time). The average weekly time spent watching was 785 minutes. This was based off 600 randomly selected households. Based upon past studies the population standard deviation is known to be 65 minutes. Develop an 80% confidence interval for the average time Americans watched prime-time TV this week.
