A surveying company wants to know the average amount of people spent in a trip. A random sample of 8people was taken and their amount of spendings ($) in the previous trip were recorded as follow:820085004300520056007800231010000It is assumed that the amount spent was normally distributed.(a) Construct a 95% confidence interval of the population mean spending in a trip.(b) If the similar survey would be done regularly, each time with the same sample size n = 8. After theconstruction of 50 confidence intervals, each at 95% confidence level, approximately how many suchintervals can successfully include the unknown population mean?

Given data : 8200,8500,4300,5200,5600,7800,2310,10000 mean = 6488.75 Standard deviation = 2555.81…

An amusement park keeps track of the percentage of individuals with season passes according to age category. An independent tourist company would like to show that this distribution of age category for individuals buying season passes is different from what the amusement park claims. The tourist company randomly sampled 200 individuals entering the park with a season pass and recorded the number of individuals within each age category. Age Category Child (under 13 years old) Teen (13 to 19 years old) Adult (20 to 55 years old) Senior (56 years old and over) Number of Individuals 56 86 44 14 The tourist company will use the data to test the amusement park’s claim, which is reflected in the following null hypothesis. H0:pchild=0.23H0:pchild=0.23, pteen=0.45pteen=0.45, padult=0.20padult=0.20, and psenior=0.12psenior=0.12. What inference procedure will the company use to investigate whether or not the distribution of age category for individuals with season passes is…
Question 3: which sample size of students would have a confidence interval with a smaller width?
A researcher selects a sample of 6 men and 11 women. She asks participants to rate the likelihood they would do female-stereotyped jobs (such as nursing or school teaching) on a scale from 1 = not likely at all to 5 = very likely. Men indicated that they would be less likely to do these jobs (M = 2.1) compared with women (M = 4.3). What is the weighted mean for the combined sample of 17 total participants? O O 2.1 4.3 3.2 3.5
A professor wants to know whether or not there is a difference in comprehension of a lab assignment among students depending on if the instructions are given all in text, or if they are given primarily with visual illustrations. She randomly divides her class into two groups of 15, gives one group instructions in text and the second group instructions with visual illustrations. The following data summarizes the scores the students received on a test given after the lab. Let the populations be normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 5.32 points for both the text and visual illustrations. Text (Group 1) Visual Illustrations (Group 2) 57.3 59 45.3 57.6 87.1 72.9 61.2 83.2 43.1 64 87.3 76.7 75.2 78.2 88.2 64.4 67.5 89 86.2 72.9 67.2 88.2 54.4 43.8 93 97.1 89.2 95.1 52 84.1 Is there evidence to suggest that a difference exists in the comprehension of the lab based on the…
the next 3 questions concern the results of a survey of 18,000 adults between 20 and 64 years of age. Respondents were asked to indicate whether they would endorse a public health initiative. After data were collected, the distribution of the probability of endorsing the initiative was assessed.The distribution was judged to be roughly positively skewed Four potential plots of these data are presented below (only one is correct):9. If the survey included all adults aged 18+, one more category would be inserted at the low end of the age range. What would it be? d. 18-20c. 18-19b. 15-20a. 15-19

QUESTION 23 Ali constructed a 98% confidence interval for the mean amount spent per day in a shopping mall based on 100 customers. The confidence interval was found to be (AED 1150, AED 2150). Select all correct answers. The mean amount spent per day by the 100 customers selected in the sample falls between AED 1150 and AED 2150. We are 98% confident that the mean amount spent per day by customers falls between AED 1150 and AED 2150. The mean amount spent per day by all customers falls between AED 1150 and AED 2150. 98% of all customers spent between AED 1150 and AED 2150 per day.
