A study was conducted that measured the total brain volume (TBV) (in mm³) of patients that had schizophrenia and patients that are considered normal. The first table contains the TBV of the non- schizophrenic patients and the second table contains the TBV of schizophrenia patients. Compute a 99% confidence interval for the difference in TBV of non-schizophrenic patients and patients with Schizophrenia. Prior studies say nothing about the equality of variances. Round to the nearest whole number.

A survey found that the average daily cost to rent a car in Los Angeles is $102.24 and in Las Vegas is $97.35. The data were collected from two random samples of 40 in each of the two cities and the population standard deviations are $5.98 for Los Angeles and $4.21 for Las Vegas. At the 0.05 level of significance, construct a confidence interval for the difference in the means and then decide if there is a significant difference in the rates between the two cities. Let the sample from Los Angeles be Group 1 and the sample from Las Vegas be Group 2. Confidence Interval (round to 4 decimal places)
Eleven tires were each measured for treadwear by two methods, one based on weight and the other on groove wear. The following are the data, in thousands of miles. (b)At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that, on average, the two measurement methods give different results? (d)Obtain a confidence interval for the mean difference in measurement by the weight and groove methods corresponding to the hypothesis test in part (b) (e)Interpret the confidence interval obtained in part (d). Does this interval support the conclusion of the hypothesis test in part (b)? Justify your answer

Two groups of individuals were compared with respect to a high carbohydrate low-fat diet (LF) and a high-fat low carbohydrate diet (LC). Mood was assessed using a total mood disturbance score where a lower score is associated with a less negative mood. Assuming that the random samples come from independent normal distributions with a common but unknown variance, construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means, LC less LF. Group LC LF 28+18.56 28±8.96 28±22.37 28+22.30 n 12 13 mean 47.3 19.3 standard deviation 28.3 25.8

The trade magazine QSR routinely checks the drive-through service times of fast-food restaurants. An 80% confidence interval that results from examining 758 customers in Taco Bell's drive-through has a lower bound of 164.3 seconds and an upper bound of 168.1 seconds. Complete parts (a) through (c). (a) What is the mean service time from the 758 customers? The mean service time from the 758 customers is seconds (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
For a random sample of 64 overweight men, the mean of the number of pounds that they were overweight was 30. The standard deviation of the population is 4.2 pounds. (a) Find the best point estimate for the average number of excess pounds for all overweight men. (b) Construct a 95% confidence interval of the mean of these pounds.
