are interested in estimating the average vehicle speed on I-40. You pick 25 vehicles at random and measure their speeds with a speed gun. The sample mean of speeds is 68 es/hour. Assume that the vehicle speeds follow a normal distribution with standard deviation 3 miles/hour. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the average vehicle speed on I-40. Answer to two decimal places. ( (b) Will the confidence interval be larger (in length) if we took a larger sample size? O Cannot say O Yes O No (c) Does the confidence interval in part (a) above contain the true average vehicle speed on I-40? O No O Yes O Cannot say

You measure 45 backpacks' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 37 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 3.5 ounces. Based on this, construct a 95% confidence interval for the true population mean backpack weight. Give your answers as decimals, to two places ± ounces
The heights of 9 men were taken with sample mean of 165 cm and standard deviation 5 cm. The heights of 7 Japanese women were taken with sample mean of 150 cm and standard deviation 3 cm. Assuming that the population standard deviations for heights of men and women are both the same, construct the 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean heights between men and women.
Prof. Gersch knows that the score on a standardized test is perfectly normal with unknown mean and a standard deviation of 50. He then takes a random sample of 25 tests and finds that the average of these is 200. How many exams should he sample so that the maximum margin of errorfor his 95% confidence interval is 10?: a. 98 b. 97 c. 100 d. 96 e. 10
A statistics teacher taught a large introductory statistics class, with 500 students having enrolled over many years. The mean score over all those students on the first midterm was u = 88 with standard deviation o = 10. One year, the teacher taught a %3D much smaller class of only 25 students. The teacher wanted to know if teaching a smaller class was more effective and students performed better. We can consider the small class as an SRS of the students who took the large class over the years. The average midterm score was = 78. The hypothesis should be: a. Ho: H = 78 vs. Ha: H = 88. %3D O b. Ho: µ = 88 vs. Ha: µ 78 %3D Ο d. Ho: μ-88 νs. Ha: μ >88. %3D

The president of a large university wishes to compare the standard deviation of the ages of students presently enrolled to previous years. The distribution of ages has been approximately normal. Find the 90% confidence interval for the population standard deviation of the student ages of the University. A random sample of 20 university students has a standard deviation of 6.1 years in a mean of 23.8 years what is the confidence interval of the population standard deviation?
