A researcher has gathered data on the daily returns on a portfolio of call options over a recent 61-day period. The mean daily return has been 1%, and the sample variance of daily portfolio retums is 2.5%. The population variance is unknown. The researcher believes that the mean dally portfolio retum is not equal to zero. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean daily return over the 61-day sample period: (CHOOSE THE CLOSEST ANSWER) O 1004006| O1014016 O1017:0191 Oto07009

Scores on an IQ test are normally distributed. A sample of 18 IQ scores had standard deviation s = 8. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population variance σ².
Use R Studio to answer the following question:
The following data represents the number of insects counted in two different locations (A and B). Construct a 80% confidence interval for o²/02B. (round to the nearest tenth): DATA: Observation 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 LOCATION A 45 45 32 46 45 44 43 49 48 LOCATION B 49 41 49 42 48 42 49 47 1. In the answer box enter the upper confidence interval. 2. Evaluate the confidence interval and indicate if the variances are (yes) or are not (no) homogeneous (yes/no; place your answer right beside the upper confidence interval. Do not leave a space between the two answers).
Choose the appropriate statistical test. When computing, be sure to round each answer as indicated. A dentist wonders if depression affects ratings of tooth pain. In the general population, using a scale of 1-10 with higher values indicating more pain, the average pain rating for patients with toothaches is 6.8. A sample of 30 patients that show high levels of depression have an average pain rating of 7.1 (variance 0.8). What should the dentist determine? 1. Calculate the estimated standard error. (round to 3 decimals). [st.error] 2. What is thet-obtained? (round to 3 decimals). 3. What is the t-cv? (exact value) 4. What is your conclusion? Only type "Reject" or Retain"
In order to estimate the average amount a customer spends on a meal in a major restaurant, data was collected from a sample of 30 customers. Suppose the population standard deviation is $3 . If the sample mean is $22, what is the 95% confidence interval for the population mean? Select one: a. [20.93 , 23.07] b. [20.59 , 23.41] c. [21.99 , 22.01] d. [20.95 , 23.05]
Imagine that you obtain a random sample of 125 M&M candies, and you notice that 28% of these candies are blue. If we convert the sample percentage of 0.28 to a sample proportion (by dividing 28 by 100), we get 0.28.
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.
In order to determine if weather conditions play a significant role in how a disease effects wheat, fields of wheat are exposed to this disease over three consecutive summers, 2002-2004. The fields are later rated on a scale of 0.0 (resistant) to 10.0 (susceptible) based on how the disease has infected the field. The results are shown below along with the ANOVA table. At the 95% confidence level, compare the mean scores across the three years. 2002 2003 2004 7 7.3 5 4.7 8 3 8 5 2 3.3 3.3 7 6.3 4.7 7.3 7 3.7 8 7 4.3 6. 7 4.3 2 6.3 6.7 ANOVA Source of Variation df MS Treatment 20.97333 2 10.48667 4.127165 Error 76.22667 30 2.540889 Total 97.2 32
At a large high school, an assistant principal wants to know how intelligent the students at the school are. An intelligence test is administered to an SRS of 50 students, out of over 2000 students.

A researcher is conducting a study to determine the mean trough dosage of medication for a population. Assume a previous study was conducted for the same medication and the mean trough dose was found to be 490 mg with a standard deviation of 30 mg. If the researcher wants to be 95% confident the true mean trough dosage of the medication is within 10 mg of the true mean trough dosage, what sample size is needed if the study is predicted to have an 76% retention rate? n = 50 n = 71 n = 47 n = 104
