A toy manufacturer wants to see how long, on average, a new toy captures children's attention. He tests 20 children selected at random and finds that their mean attention span is 32 minutes with a standard devlation of 4 minutes. If we assume that attention spans are normally distributed, find a 95% confidence Interval for the mean attention span of children playing with this new toy. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Carry your Intermedlate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place.

We have developed a new drug used to reduce fever and want to test its efficacy. Ten ER patients who are running a fever agree to take the new drug instead of the traditional treatment. Their temperatures are taken before the drug is administered and 30 minutes after taking the drug. The results are recorded in the Excel file below. Use the data to construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the mean change in temperatures of patients after taking this drug using Excel. Be sure to include any explanation necessary along with a sentence that explains what the interval means.

Gary has discovered a new painting tool to help him in his work. If he can prove to himself that the painting tool reduces the amount of time it takes to paint a room, he has decided to invest in a tool for each of his helpers as well. From records of recent painting jobs that he completed before he got the new tool, Gary collected data for a random sample of 7 medium-sized rooms. He determined that the mean amount of time that it took him to paint each room was 3.6 hours with a standard deviation of 0.2 hours. For a random sample of 6 medium-sized rooms that he painted using the new tool, he found that it took him a mean of 3.2 hours to paint each room with a standard deviation of 0.3 hours. At the 0.05 level, can Gary conclude that his meantime for painting a medium-sized room without using the tool was greater than his meantime when using the tool? Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal. Let painting times without using the…
Paint used to paint lines on roads must reflect enough light to be clearly visible at night. Researchers have 2 new types of paints they want to test paint type A and paint type B. For each paint type, they tested if there was statistical evidence the average reflectometer reading is greater than 35. To test each type of paint, they used 15 paint samples. Further, suppose the standard deviation is the same for both types of paints. The sample mean for paint type A was 39 and the sample mean for paint type B was 41.5. For both statistical tests, the significance level is set to .05.Which of the following is true? If they fail to reject the null hypothesis for paint type A we can conclude there is statistical evidence the average reflectometer for type A paint is 35. The p-value for the type B paint test is smaller. They rejected the null hypothesis for both paint types. Exactly two of the statements above are true. None are true.
Medical researchers are interested in determining the relative effectiveness of two drug treatments on patients with a chronic mental illness. Treatment 1 has been around for many years, while treatment 2 has recently been developed based on the latest research. The researchers chose two independent test groups. The first group had 9 patients, all of whom received treatment and had a mean time until remission of 166 days, with a standard deviation of 8 days. The second group had 15 patients, all of whom received treatment 2 and had a mean time until remission of 161 days, with a standard deviation of 9 days. Assume that the populations of times until remission for each of the two treatments are normally distributed with equal variance. Can we conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that u, the mean number of days until remission after treatment 1, is greater than u,, the mean number of days until remission after treatment 2? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts…
The Management Department recently purchased a smallcopier for faculty use. Although the workload of the office staff has improved somewhat, the secretaries are still mak-ing too many trips to the Dean’s office when the depart-mental copier is out of service. Sylvia, the departmental secretary, has been keeping track of failure rates and ser-vice times. With a mean time between failures of 100 hours and a mean time to repair of 24 hours, how much of thetime is the new copier available for faculty use?

QUESTION 4 Sara wants to determine the mean play time of media clips on her smartphone. A random sample of 36 media clips revealed a mean of 155 minutes and a standard deviation of 16 minutes. Find the upper confidence limit (UCL) of the 93% confidence interval estimate for the mean play time of media clips on Sara's smartphone. Round your answer to two decimal places.
A learn-to-type software program claims that it can improve your typing skills. To test the claim and possibly help yourself out, you and six of your friends decide to try the program and see what happens. Use the table below to construct an 80% confidence interval for the true mean change in the typing speeds for people who have completed the typing program. Let Population 1 be the typing speed before taking the program and Population 2 be the typing speed after taking the program. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary. Typing Speeds (in Words per Minute) Before After 32 33 51 42 55 40 35 32 54 33 45 30 50 52
The design of controls and instruments affects how easily people can use them. A student project investigated this effect by asking 25 right handed students to turn a knob with their right hands that moved an indicator by screw action. There were two identical instruments, one with a right-hand thread and the other with a left-hand thread. The table given has the data from the student project.1. Calculate and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean time advantage of right hand over left hand threads in the setting above.
For each scenario, indicate whether the parameter of interest is one proportion , a difference in two proportions , one mean (μ), a difference in means from separate samples , or the mean difference from matched pairs data, . Each answer can be selected once, more than once, or not at all.

I chose Option 1 for this week’s discussion post. I want to estimate the population mean number of times adults between the ages of 30 and 45 went to the grocery store in the last week. I spoke with 12 adults and asked them how many times they went to the grocery store in the last week. The results were 0, 2, 2, 7, 5, 1, 0, 3, 1, 1, 4, and 3. Now calculate a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round to three decimal places)
