Assume that we want to construct a confidence interval. Do one of the following, as appropriate: (a) find the critical value t/2, (b) find the critical value z/2, or (c) state that neither the normal distribution nor the t distribution applies. Here are summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn girls: n= 178, x= 28.1 hg, s = 7.9 hg. The confidence level is 95%.

es A sample of 12 fossil skeletons of an extinct species of bird has been collected. The mean length of the skulls in this sample is 5.29 cm and the standard deviation of the sample is 0.21 cm. Assuming that such measurements are normally distributed, find a 90% confidence interval for the population mean length of the skulls of this species of bird. You may want to use one of these: qt (p-0.10, df-11, lower. tail-FALSE)=1.36343 qt(p-0.05, df-11, lower.tail-FALSE) =1.795885 qnorm(0.10, mean-0, sd-1, lower.tail-FALSE)=1.281552 qnorm(0.05, mean-0, sd-1, lower.tail=FALSE)=1.644854 O (4.945, 5.635) O (4.913, 5.667) O (5.021, 5.559) O (5.181, 5.399)

Allen's hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) has been studied by zoologist Bill Alther.t Suppose a small group of 20 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 = 0.32 gram. (a) Find an 80% confidence interval for the average weights of Allen's hummingbirds in the study region. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit upper limit margin of error (b) What conditions are necessary for your calculations? (Select all that apply.) O normal distribution of weights Oo is known O n is large O o is unknown O uniform distribution of weights (c) Interpret your results in the context of this problem. O The probability that this interval contains the true average weight of Allen's hummingbirds is 0.20. O we are 80% confident that the true average weight of Allen's hummingbirds falls…
