According to a survey by Runzheimer International, the average cost of a fast-food meal (quarter-pound cheeseburger, large fries, medium soft drink, excluding taxes) in Seattle is $4.82.Suppose this figure was based on a sample of 27 different establishments and the standard deviation was $0.37. Assume the costs of a fast-food meal in Seattle are normally distributed.Using the confidence interval as a guide, is it likely that the population mean is really $4.50? Why or why not?Yes, because $4.5 is inside the interval.Yes, because $4.5 is outside the interval.No, because $4.5 is inside the interval.No, because $4.5 is outside the interval.

Kit and Casey are each attempting to estimate the proportion of college students who can play at least one musical instrument. They each survey a different random sample of college students, and in each sample, the proportion who can play at least one musical instrument is 0.35. Kit and Casey each use their sample data to construct a confidence interval. Kit's interval is from 0.308 to 0.372 and Casey's interval is from 0.318 to 0.382. One of these intervals was computed correctly, but the other was not. Which interval must be incorrect? O Kit's interval must be incorrect. O It's impossible to answer this question without knowing the sample sizes. O It's impossible to answer this question without knowing the sample sizes or the level of confidence used for each interval. O Casey's interval must be incorrect.

Suppose you find that the 95% confidence interval for the cost of a wedding is ($29,000, $35,000). What is the correct interpretation of this interval? Group of answer choices For the next wedding you attend, the cost will be between $29,000 and $35,000. There is a 95% probability that the sample mean is between $29,000 and $35,000. There is a 95% probability that the population mean is between $29,000 and $35,000. You are 95% confident that the mean wedding cost is between $29,000 and $35,000. thanks

I sampled 10 downtown Chicago restaurants for the price of their most expensive meal on the menu. Here are the prices: $45, $80, $70, $70, $60, $65, $80, $60, $50, $90 Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean price of the most expensive meal at a downtown Chicago restaurant. Assume the population is approximately normal. Write a sentence using that confidence interval Using the values in the previous question, compute a 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the most expensive price for a mean in downtown Chicago.
A statistics instructor randomly selected four bags of oranges, each bag labeled 10 pounds, and weighed the bags. They weighed 10.3, 10.8, 10.4, and 10.6 pounds. Assume that the distribution of weights is Normal. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of all bags of oranges. Use technology for your calculations. Answer parts a and b below. a. Choose the correct interpretation of the confidence interval below and, if necessary, fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. A. We are 95% confident the population mean is between and B. There is a 95% chance that all intervals will be between and C. We are 95% confident that the sample mean is between and D. The requirements for constructing a confidence interval are not satisfied.
