A professor decided to estimate the average time it takes for students to take tests. He measured the submission time of 45 random students. The mean duration is found to be 108 minutes, and the standard deviation is known to be 12 minutes. The population is normally distributed. What are the and upper bounds for a 92% confidence interval of the lower population mean duration for the test?

The mean score of Grade 11 students in a General Math examination was observed to be 75 with a standard deviation of 5. The teacher wants to replicate the study to estimate the true population mean to within 0.3 maximum error. If the 90% level of confidence is adopted, how many respondents are needed?
The combined SAT scores for the students at a local high school are normally distributed with a mean of 1521 and a standard deviation of 301. The local college includes a minimum score of 888.9 in its admission requirements. What percentage of students from this school earn scores that fail to satisfy the admission requirement?
A random sample of 250 students at a university finds that these students take a mean of 15 credit hours per quarter with a standard deviation of 2.5 credit hours. The 99% confidence interval for the mean is 15+-0.407. Interpret the interval.
A teacher gives a test to his class of 25 students. Since he wants to quickly obtain an estimate of the mean score on the exam he takes a random sample of 12 exams and determines that the average score is 82 with a standard deviation of 10. Construct a 95% confidence interval on the mean scores from this exam. Provide your formula used along with your result. Explain implications of what you have done. Interpret the final confidence interval you have obtained.
The dean randomly selected 33 students who took the calculus final exam and looked at their scores on it. In this sample the mean was 80.3 and the standard deviation was 3.7. No information about the population's distribution is available. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean score of all students who took this exam. Round your answers to 2 places after the decimal point, if necessary. If it is not appropriate to construct a confidence interval in this situation, then enter "0" in both answer boxes below. 98% confidence interval:
An agriculture researcher plants twenty five plots with a new variety of corn. The average yielded for these plots is x-bar = 150 bushels per acre. Assume that the yield per acre for the new variety of corn follows a normal distribution with unknown mean and standard deviation = 10 bushels per acre. A 90% Confidence interval for mean is?
If the sample mean is 37.7 and population standard deviation is = 9.2 and the sample size is 100 then find the 90% confidence interval.
A forestry researcher is conducting a study of trees in the upper midwest. He selects a random sample of 125 red maple trees and measures the trunk diameter of each. The mean of the sample is 25 inches with a standard deviation of 5.2 inches, use this to find a 95% confidence interval for the mean trunk diameter of all red maple trees.
In a survey, 29 people were asked how much they spent on their child's birthday gift. The results were roughly bell-shaped with a mean of $46.8 and standard deviation of $5.8. Estimate how much a typical parent would spend on their child's birthday gift using a 98% confidence interval. Express the answer in the format of x +- E.
A veterinarian wants to estimate the mean weight of a cat in their city. They take a random sample of 19 cats and found a mean of 10.9 lbs with a sample standard deviation of 1 lbs. Find the 95% confidence interval of the mean. Assume that the cat weights are normally distributed. Do not round in between steps. Round answers to at least 4 decimal places.
The president of a large university wishes to compare the standard deviation of the ages of students presently enrolled to previous years. The distribution of ages has been approximately normal. Find the 90% confidence interval for the population standard deviation of the student ages of the University. A random sample of 20 university students has a standard deviation of 6.1 years in a mean of 23.8 years what is the confidence interval of the population standard deviation?
In a school district, all sixth grade students take the same standardized test. The superintendant of the school district takes a random sample of 3030 scores from all of the students who took the test. She sees that the mean score is 169169 with a standard deviation of 7.06747.0674. The superintendant wants to know if the standard deviation has changed this year. Previously, the population standard deviation was 1313. Is there evidence that the standard deviation of test scores has decreased at the α=0.005α=0.005 level? Assume the population is normally distributed. Step 1 of 5: State the null and alternative hypotheses. Round to four decimal places when necessary. Step 2 of 5: Determine the critical value(s) of the test statistic. If the test is two-tailed, separate the values with a comma. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 3 of 5: Determine the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 4 of 5: Make the…
