A publisher wants to estimate the mean length of time (in minutes) all adults spend reading newspapers. To determine this estimate, the publisher takes a random sample of 15 people and obtains the results below. From past studies, the publisher assumes o is 2.2 minutes and that the population of times is normally distributed. 11 8 11 11 9 12 7 7 7 10 12 10 12 Construct the 90% and 99% confidence intervals for the population mean. Which interval is wider? If convenient, use technology to construct the confidence intervals. The 90% confidence interval is ( | D. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Tina catches a 14-pound bass. She does not know the population mean or standard deviation. So she takes a sample of five friends and they say the last bass they caught was 9, 12, 13, 10, and 10 pounds. Find the t and calculate a 95% (α = .05) confidence interval.

A study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of hypnotism in reducing pain. The measurements are centimeters on a pain scale before and after hypnosis. Assume that the paired sample data are simple random samples and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal.
