A researcher compares the effectiveness of two different instructional methods for teaching anatomy. A sample of 66 students using Method 1 produces a testing average of 54.9. A sample of 110 students using Method 2 produces a testing average of 85.9. Assume that the population standard deviation for Method 1 is 6.04, while the population standard deviation for Method 2 is 16.44. Determine the 99 % confidence interval for the true difference between testing averages for students using Method 1 and students using Method 2. Step 1 of 3: Find the point estimate for the true difference between the population means.

We have developed a new drug used to reduce fever and want to test its efficacy. Ten ER patients who are running a fever agree to take the new drug instead of the traditional treatment. Their temperatures are taken before the drug is administered and 30 minutes after taking the drug. The results are recorded in the Excel file below. Use the data to construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the mean change in temperatures of patients after taking this drug using Excel. Be sure to include any explanation necessary along with a sentence that explains what the interval means.

A recent study of high school students shows the percentage of females and males who have an after-school job. A simple random sample of high school students was interviewed. The students were asked whether they worked after school. Of the 250 females, 58 answered yes, as did 113 of the 380 males. Part A: Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference in population proportions of females and males who have an after-school job. Be sure to state the parameter, check conditions, perform calculations, and make conclusion(s). Part B: Does your interval from part A give convincing evidence of a difference between the population proportions? Explain.
Assume that last year in a particular state there were 211 children out of 1990 who were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Nationally, 1 out of 88 children are diagnosed with ASD. It is believed that the incident of ASD is more common in that state than nationally. Calculate a 96% confidence interval for the percentage of children in that state diagnosed with ASD.P: Parameter What is the correct parameter symbol for this problem? What is the wording of the parameter in the context of this problem? A: Assumptions Since information was collected from each object, what conditions do we need to check?

A researcher compares the effectiveness of two different instructional methods for teaching physiology. A sample of 229 students using Method 1 produces a testing average of 72.9. A sample of 192 students using Method 2 produces a testing average of 72. Assume that the population standard deviation for Method 1 is 6.68, while the population standard deviation for Method 2 is 14.51. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the true difference between testing averages for students using Method 1 and students using Method 2. Round your answer to one decimal place.

Import the data from the Hill City Excel file into Minitab.You are trying to predict Price.Note: Mtn View=1 if there is a mountain view, 0 otherwise. The rest of the variables should be self explanatory. 1.Perform an F Test for overall significance of the model 2.Perform a T test for slope for the age variable 3. Find a 95% confidence interval for the slope of the SqFeet variable4. Create a prediction, CI, and PI for 1 new set of x values (any valid numbers you want), and interpret each.5. Run the residual plots and indicate if they show any problems with the model.
A researcher compares the effectiveness of two different instructional methods for teaching anatomy. A sample of 131 students using Method 1 produces a testing average of 88.1. A sample of 142 students using Method 2 produces a testing average of 87.1. Assume that the population standard deviation for Method 1 is 11.46, while the population standard deviation for Method 2 is 9.78. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the true difference between testing averages for students using Method 1 and students using Method 2. Step 2 of 2: Construct the 95% confidence interval. Round your answers to one decimal place.
A hotel desires not only that its average occupancy level is high, but also that there is not too much variability in occupancy (i.e. sometimes full and sometimes almost empty). A hotel counted how many rooms were occupied on each of 27 days, and obtained a sample mean of 300 rooms and a sample standard deviation of 5.86 rooms. Find a 97% confidence interval for the population standard deviation of room occupancy at this hotel.
The International Air Transport Association surveys business travelers to develop quality ratings for transatlantic gateway airports. The maximum possible rating is 10. Suppose a simple random sample of 50 business travelers is selected and each traveler is asked to provide a rating for the Miami International Airport. The ratings obtained from the sample of 50 business travelers provides a mean of 6.34 and a standard deviation of 2.163. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean rating for Miami.
A company that manufactures baseball bats believes that its new bat will allow players to hit the ball 30 feet farther than its current model. The owner hires a professional baseball player known for hitting home runs to hit ten balls with each bat and he measures the distance each ball is hit to test the company's claim. The results of the batting experiment are shown in the following table. Construct a 90 % confidence interval for the true difference between the mean distance hit with the new model and the mean distance hit with the older model. Assume that the variances of the two populations are the same. Let Population 1 be the distances of balls hit with the new model baseball bat and Population 2 be the distances of balls hit with the old model. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary. Hitting Distance (in Feet) New Model Old Model 215 234 202 298 224 294 211 246 215 268 248 211 255 226 228 284 247 221 214 259
A small university is trying to monitor its electricity usage. For a random sample of 30 weekend days (Saturdays and Sundays), the student center used an average of 94.26 kilowatt hours (kWh) with standard deviation 43.29. For a random sample of 60 weekdays, (Monday - Friday), the student center used an average of 112.63 kWh with standard deviation 32.07. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean electricity use at the student center between weekdays and weekend days. Use two decimal places in your margin of error. -6.80 to 43.54 kWh -4.61 to 41.35 kWh -3.38 to 40.51 kWh 0.12 to 36.62 kWh
