A quality control technician wanted to construct a confidence interval for the average weight of tablets of a nutritional supplement being produced at a company's manufacturing facility. The technician selected a simple random sample of 1500 tablets, and a 90% confidence interval for the average weight of all tablets was determined to be (3412 mg., 3454 mg.). Which of the following is a correct interpretation of this interval? O We can be 90% confident that 90% of all tablets have weights between 3412 and 3454 milligrams. O We can be 90% confident that the average weight of the tablets in this sample is between 3412 and 3454 milligrams. O 90% of all tablets have weights between 3412 and 3454 milligrams. O We can be 90% confident that the average weight of all tablets is between 3412 and 3454 milligrams.

If X=101, o=27, and n= 32, construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean, p
About 25 randomly selected people were asked how long they slept at night. The mean time was 6 hours, and the standard deviation was 1 hour. Calculate the 98% confidence interval of the mean time by assuming that the variable is normally distributed. Provide only the value required below. Express your answer in 3 decimal places. a. tą (positive value only):

The following data represent a random sample of five measurements from a normally distributed population: 7,4,2,5,7 a. Find 90% confidence interval for u. b. Find a 99% confidence interval for u.
You want to estimate the average difference in the number of complaints filed by women at work and the number of complaints filed by men at work. You took an SRS of 7 businesses and collected the following data for number of complaints in a year: men 1 3 2 4 6 3 5 women 8 7 6 3 5 12 15 Create a 90% confidence interval for the average difference in the number of complaints filed by women at work and the number of complaints filed by men at work (in a year). You must do this using table C. If this is a 2 sample interval, be sure to specify who is population 1 and who is population 2. If this is a matched pairs interval, be sure to state the order you subtracted your data. Once you create your interval, give a sentence explaining the meaning of the interval (what the numbers in the interval mean, NOT the meaning of 95%) in context of this problem. Round to any appropriate number of decimals.
Which type of confidence interval should you use in this situation? A sample of 25 different payroll departments found that the employees worked an average of 310.3 days a year with a standard deviation of 23.8 days. The distribution is approximately normally distributed. Find the 90% confidence interval for the average days worked of all payroll departments. Question 2 options: 1) a confidence interval for the mean using a table value from the standard normal distribution. 2) a confidence interval for the mean using a table value from the t distribution. 3) a confidence interval for a proportion using a table value from the standard normal distribution. 4) a confidence interval for proportion using a table value from the t distribution. 5) none of the above.
Ten engineering schools in the US were surveyed. the sample contains 250 electrical engineers, 80 being women; 175 chemical engineers, 40 being women. Compute a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of women in these two fields of engineering. Select one: O a. (0.02, 0.16) Ob. (0.01, 0.17] O. (0.04, 0.14) O d.

Obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or more. A 95% confidence interval for the percentage of U.S. adults aged 20 years and over who were obese was found to be 20.26% to 29.8%. What was the sample size?
you conducted additional studies with these men and found the following: a. The RR for those who drank one drink per day was 1.50 (95% CI:1.32-1.67) in comparison to the abstainers. b. For those men who drank three or more drinks per day the RR compared to the abstainers was 4.20 (95% CI 2.68-5.85). Question: We can tell from the Confidence Intervals provided in #7 whether there are likely more people in the “one drink a day” group or the “3+ drinks per day” group. Which one likely has more people and how can we tell?

Given the following information: My confidence intervals: 90% confidence interval = (2.33, 2.56), and 99% confidence interval = (2.26, 2.63) My peer's confidence intervals: 90% confidence interval at ( 2.37 , 2.61 ) and 99% confidence interval at ( 2.31 , 2.67). How do their confidence intervals compare with yours? If the population standard deviation is unknown and the sample size is not sufficiently large, would you still use the Normal distribution to calculate these confidence intervals, or would you choose another distribution? If the latter, which distribution would you choose?
