A survey of nonprofit organizations showed that online fundraising has increased in the past year. Based on a random sample of 60 nonprofits, the mean one-time gift donation in the past year was $62, with a sample standard deviation of $9. (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population mean one-time gift donation. (b) Interpret the interval constructed in (a).

A study compared the weight loss of people on a low-fat diet versus people on a low-carb diet. In a sample of 100 obese people on a low-fat diet the sample mean weight loss as 7.6 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.2 pounds. In another sample of 120 obese people on a low-carb diet the sample mean weight loss was 6.7 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.9 pounds. Write down all formulas and state the hypothesisa) Test the hypothesis, at the 5% level of significance, that there is a difference in the mean weightloss of using the 2 different diets. b) What is the p-value?
The distribution of study times for first-year students follow a Normal distribution with a standard deviation σ = 78 minutes. Suppose a sample of 431 students found that the mean study time for these students was x¯= 195 minutes per week. Use this to find a 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean study time for all students. We are 95% confident that the mean study time for first-year students is between (Answer) and minutes ( Answer) minutes.
Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of 103.8 and a standard deviation 15.7. Find the first quartile Q1, which is the IQ score separating the bottom 25% from the top 75%. The first quartile is
In a region, the correlation coefficient between corn yield and peanut yield (planted in the same soil, in MT/ha) is 0.9. We also know that the mean and the standard deviation of corn yield is 3.2 and 2.4, respectively. The mean and the standard deviation of peanut yield is 1.8 and 0.72, respectively. Using this information, predict the expected corn yield of a filed with peanut yield of 1.76.
A forestry researcher is conducting a study of trees in the upper midwest. He selects a random sample of 125 red maple trees and measures the trunk diameter of each. The mean of the sample is 25 inches with a standard deviation of 5.2 inches, use this to find a 95% confidence interval for the mean trunk diameter of all red maple trees.
The weights of a certain type of steer follow a Normal model with a mean weight of 1191 pounds and a standard deviation of 54 pounds. (Use 4 decimals for all answers below.)(a) What weight is required for a steer to be among the heaviest 10% of steers? (b) What weight is required for a steer to be among the lightest 25% of steers? (c) What is the IQR of these weights?
A biology student measured the ear lengths of an SRS of 10 Mountain cottontail rabbits. The ear lengths are listed in the table attached image: Suppose that the distribution of ear lengths of all Mountain cottontail rabbits follows a Normal distribution with a standard deviation of 0.4 cm. (a) By hand, calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean ear length of Mountain cottontail rabbits. (b) Re-calculate the above interval, using R. (c) By hand, calculate a 99% confidence interval for the mean ear length of Mountain cottontail rabbits. (d) Your friend says that the interval in part (c) can be interpreted as: “The probability is 99% that the mean ear length of all Mountain cottontail rabbits is in the interval we obtained in part (c).” Explain why this interpretation is not correct, and give the correct interpretation of the “99% confidence.”
The mean test score for a simple random sample of n=100 students was =80. The population standard deviation of test scores is σ=15. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean test score μ.
A recent study of 100 social workers in a southern state found that their mean salary was $23,000 with a standard deviation of $2100. A similar study of 95 social workers in a western state found that their mean salary was $34,200 with a standard deviation of$3200. Find the test statistic and critical value when the claim that the mean salaries of social workers in the western state is greater than that of social workers in the southern state. Use α = 0.05. Sample1: Social workers in a southern state, Sample2: Social workers in awestern state. a) Find the test statistic b) Find critical value
A survey of 30 adults found that the mean age of a person's vehicle is 3.6 years. Assuming the population distribution is normal and the standard deviation is 2 years, find the 94% confidence interval for the population mean. What is the meaning of this confidence interval?
A study of 40 men on probation showed that their average number of days remained stayed on probation was 186. The standard deviation of the population is 6. Find the 95% confidence interval of the mean number of days men remained on probation. Find the 95% confidence interval of the mean number of days men remained on probation if a sample of 100 probationers is used instead of a sample of 40. Which interval is smaller? Explain why.
A population of scores has a mean of 56. In this population, a raw score of 40 corresponds to a z score of -4. What is the population standard deviation?
