An economist is trying to determine the average per capita income (in thousands of dollars) of the residents of a major city in Texas. Suppose a sample of size 25 is drawn from the city with the following results: sample mean = 26 and sx = 9.6. Construct a 80% two-sided confidence interval for the mean per capita income. The Lower Limit of the two-sided confidence interval is: %3D O 23.4694 O 22.7149 O 22.0371 O 23.4733 O 22.7206 O 22.0448 O none of these

Suppose a random sample of 48 apartments in Toronto was selected and their square footage were recorded. (a) We would like to construct a confidence interval to estimate the true mean square footage of apartments in Toronto. A histogram of the apartment sizes in our sample is as follows: LO 550 600 650 700 750 800 850 900 Square footage What is the shape of the data distribution? We want to construct a confidence interval that relies on the assumption of normality. Given that it does not appear that the apartment square footages follow a normal distribution, can we still meaningfully construct this interval? Why or why not? (b) The mean and standard deviation of the apartments in the sample are calculated to be 660.94 and 79.88 respectively. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the true mean square footage of apartments in Toronto. (c) Provide an interpretation of the interval calculated in (b). Frequency 15
Allen's hummingbird has been studied by zoologist Bill Alther. Suppose a small group of 10 Allen's hummingbirds has been under study in Arizona. The average weight for these birds is x=3.15 grams. Based on previous studies, we can assume that the weights of Allen's hummingbirds have a normal distribution, with o=0.36 gram. find an 80% confidence interval for the average weights of Allen's hummingbirds in the study religion. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to two decimal places) lower limit= upper limit=
A pharmaceutical company is running tests to see how well its new drug lowers cholesterol. Fourteen adults volunteer to participate in the study. The total cholesterol level of each participant (in mg/dL) is recorded once at the start of the study and then again after three months of taking the drug. The results are given in the following table. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the true mean difference between the cholesterol levels for people who take the new drug. Let Population 1 be the initial cholesterol level and Population 2 be the cholesterol level after three months. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary. Total Cholesterol Levels (in mg/dL) Initial Level Level after Three Months 190 192 230 207 206 182 229 199 224 181 195 209 226 214 190 189 224 196 219 206 185 195 208 204 194 198 225 216 Please highlight the answer
A sample of freshman takes a reading comprehension test and their scores are summarized below. Sample scores: 16, 8, 8, 6, 9, 11, 13, 9, 10 a. if the mean for the general population on this test is m=12, can you conclude that this sample is significantly different from the population. Test with a=.05 b. Calculate a 90% confidence interval around your mean.
A study of 420,098 cell phone users found that 0.0324% of them developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Prior to this study of cell phone use, the rate of such cancer was found to be 0.0335% for those not using cell phones. Complete parts (a) and (b). a. Use the sample data to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of cell phone users who develop cancer of the brain or nervous system Do not round until the final answer. Then round to three decimal places as needed.] R
Suppose we wish to estimate the average number of hours per week that Americans watch TV. Use the following data from an SRS to find a 90% confidence interval: 30 64 49 40 21 58 9 43 39 43
You want to estimate the average difference in the number of complaints filed by women at work and the number of complaints filed by men at work. You took an SRS of 7 businesses and collected the following data for number of complaints in a year: men 1 3 2 4 6 3 5 women 8 7 6 3 5 12 15 Create a 90% confidence interval for the average difference in the number of complaints filed by women at work and the number of complaints filed by men at work (in a year). You must do this using table C. If this is a 2 sample interval, be sure to specify who is population 1 and who is population 2. If this is a matched pairs interval, be sure to state the order you subtracted your data. Once you create your interval, give a sentence explaining the meaning of the interval (what the numbers in the interval mean, NOT the meaning of 95%) in context of this problem. Round to any appropriate number of decimals.
Which type of confidence interval should you use in this situation? A sample of 25 different payroll departments found that the employees worked an average of 310.3 days a year with a standard deviation of 23.8 days. The distribution is approximately normally distributed. Find the 90% confidence interval for the average days worked of all payroll departments. Question 2 options: 1) a confidence interval for the mean using a table value from the standard normal distribution. 2) a confidence interval for the mean using a table value from the t distribution. 3) a confidence interval for a proportion using a table value from the standard normal distribution. 4) a confidence interval for proportion using a table value from the t distribution. 5) none of the above.
Verizon Wireless would like to estimate the proportion of households that use cell phones for their phone service without a land line. A random sample of 150 households was selected and 48 relied strictly on cell phones for their service. The 95% confidence interval for the proportion based on this sample is ________. A) (0.257, 0.383) B) (0.223, 0.417) C) (0.185, 0.456) D) (0.165, 0.475)
A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 448 green peas and 171 yellow peas. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas. b. It was expected that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations? Express the percentages in decimal form.
