You would like to estimate the variance of sick days at a Fortune 500 company. You randomly select 15 employees and record how many sick days they have used in the past year and you get a sample standard deviation of 1.2. Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population variance.
A random sample of 47 cars in the drive-thru of a popular fast food restaurant revealed an average bill of $17.51 per car. The population standard deviation is $6.05. Estimate the mean bill for all cars from the drive thru with 91% confidence.
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 nurse is interested in the amount of time patients spend exercising per day. According to a recent study, the daily workout time per adult follows an approximately normal distribution with a mean of 94 minutes and a standard deviation of 27minutes. If the nurse randomly samples patients in her office to analyze their exercise time and gets a standard error of 3minutes, how many patients did she sample?
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.
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…
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.
