A survey asked 13 adults how many years of education they had. The sample mean was 12.90 with a standard deviation of 3.15. It is reasonable to assume that the population is approximately normal. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of years of education. A) (-11.8, 37.6) B) (-24.6, 24.6) C) (12.4, 13.4) D) (11.0, 14.8)

From long-term observation, it is known that the waiting-time for non-ambulance adult arrivals in a hospital's A&E has a mean of 120 minutes and a standard deviation of 50 minutes. On a given day, there are 200 such arrivals. Management want to set a daily target for the mean waiting time that will be met 95% of the time with 200 arrivals. What mean should they specify? O 202.24 minutes O 124.53 minutes O 126.93 minutes O 125.82 minutes
Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 256cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 114.6 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 174.87 cm and a standard deviation of 7.57 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme? Since the z score for the tallest man is z=____ and the z score for the shortest man is z=_____, the (Shortest/tallest) man had the height that was more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.)
Consider a data set that has a mean of 82.7 and a standard deviation of 14.1. According to Chebyshev's Theorem, give an interval that has at least 91.14% of the data.

Find the first quartile Q,, which is the IQ score separating the bottom 25% from the top 75%. (Hint: Draw a graph.) The first quartile is Type an integer or decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.)
The director of research and development is testing a new medicine. She wants to know if there is evidence at the 0.02 level that the medicine relieves pain in more than 346 seconds. For a sample of 58 patients, the mean time in which the medicine relieved pain was 352 seconds. Assume the population standard deviation is 23. Find the P-value of the test statistic. 囲 Tables E Keypad Keyboard Shortcuts 0.0582 %3D IX
Researchers measured the data speeds for a particular smartphone carrier at 50 airports. The highest speed measured was 71.7 Mbps. The complete list of 50 data speeds has a mean of x = 15.45 Mbps and a standard deviation of s = 21.16 Mbps. a. What is the difference between carrier's highest data speed and the mean of all 50 data speeds? b. How many standard deviations is that [the difference found in part (a)]? c. Convert the carrier's highest data speed to az score. d. If we consider data speeds that convert to z scores between -2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly high, is the carrier's highest data speed significant? a. The difference is Mbps. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
