According to the historical data, the life expectancy in the United States is less than the life expectancy in Ireland. A new study has been made to see whether this has changed. Records of 215 individuals from the United States who died recently are selected at random. The 215 individuals lived a mean of 77.5 years with a standard deviation of 7.3 years. Records of 205 individuals from Ireland who died recently are selected at random and independently. The 205 individuals lived a mean of 76.4 years with a standard deviation of 6.3 years. Assume that the population standard deviations of lifetimes in these two countries can be estimated by the sample standard deviations, as the samples used were quite large. Construct a 90% confidence interval for u-, the difference between the life expectancy H in the United States and the life expectancy z in Ireland. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to at least two decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) Lower limit:| Upper limit:

The results of a common standardized test used in psychology research is designed so that the population mean is 115 and the standard deviation is 30. A subject earns a score of 199. What is the z-score for this raw score?
The average chef at a restaurant earns $17 an hour with a deviation of $1.75. What are the chances that someone is earning more than $20 an hour?
The Virginia Cooperative Extension reports that the mean weight of yearling Angus steers is 1152 pounds. Suppose that the standard deviation is 84 pounds. Suppose a Normal model is useful for describing weights of the yearling Angus steers. Which would be more unusual, a steer weighing 1000 pounds or one weighing 1250 pounds?
One year Chris had the lowest ERA (earned-run average, mean number of runs yielded per nine innings pitched) of any male pitcher at his school, with an ERA of 3.18. Also, Sally had the lowest ERA of any female pitcher at the school with an ERA of 2.52. For the males, the mean ERA was 4.849 and the standard deviation was 0.616. For the females, the mean ERA was 4.766 and the standard deviation was 0.689. Find their respective z-scores. Which player had the better year relative to their peers, Chris or Sally? (Note: In general, the lower the ERA, the better the pitcher.) Chris had an ERA with a z-score of Sally had an ERA with a z-score of (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
According to the records of an electric company serving the Boston area, the mean electricity consumption during winter for all households is 1650 kilowatt-hours per month. Assume that the monthly electricity consumption during winter by all households in this area have a normal distribution with a mean of 1650 kilowatt-hours and a standard deviation of 320 kilowatt-hours. The company sent a notice to Bill Johnson informing him that about 80% of the households use less electricity per month than he does. What is Bill Johnson's monthly electricity consumption? Round your answer to the nearest integer. Bill Johnson's monthly electricity consumption is approximately kWh.
The tallest living man at one time had a height of 220 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 136.8 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 173.88 cm and a standard deviation of 5.13 cm. Which of these men had the height that was more extreme?
A student takes a test in his math course and scores 45 points and a test in his psychology courseand scores 71 points. Scores on each test were normally distributed. On the math test the classhas a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 15. On the psychology test the class has a mean of 75and a standard deviation of 10. On which test did the student do better?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture claims that the mean consumption of bottled water by a person in the United States is 28.5 gallons per year. A random sample of 100 people in the United States had a mean bottled water consumption of 27.8 gallons per year with a standard deviation of 4.1 gallons. Does this sample indicate that the mean annual consumption of bottled water for people in the United States is not 28.5 gallons per year? (Reference: U.S. Department of Agriculture) At a 5% level of significance, what is the power of this test against the alternative μ= 27.4?

The average McDonald's restaurant generates $3.1 million in sales each year with a standard deviation of 0.4. Micah wants to know if the average sales generated by McDonald's restaurants in Maryland is different than the worldwide average. He surveys 19 restaurants in Maryland and finds the following data (in millions of dollars):2.8, 3.2, 3.8, 4.2, 3.5, 3.2, 3.6, 3.2, 2.7, 3.1, 2.5, 3.2, 3.7, 3.5, 3.9, 3.9, 2.5, 2.9, 2.8Perform a hypothesis test using a 9% level of significance.Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses.H0:H0: Ha:Ha: (So we will be performing a test.)Step 2: Assuming the null hypothesis is true, determine the features of the distribution of point estimates using the Central Limit Theorem.By the Central Limit Theorem, we know that the point estimates are with distribution mean and distribution standard deviation .Step 3: Find the pp-value of the point estimate.P(P( )=P()=P( )=)=pp-value==Step 4: Make a Conclusion…
