### Constructing Confidence IntervalsAssume that we want to construct a confidence interval. Follow the steps below as appropriate:1. **Find the critical value \( t_{\alpha/2} \)**2. **Find the critical value \( z_{\alpha/2} \)**3. **State that neither the normal distribution nor the t distribution applies**Here are the summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn girls:- Sample size (\( n \)): 156- Mean (\( \overline{x} \)): 29.3 hg- Standard deviation (\( s \)): 7.7 hgThe confidence level is 90%.### Selection TaskSelect the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice:- **A. \( t_{\alpha/2} = \)** (Round to two decimal places as needed.) [ ] - **B. \( z_{\alpha/2} = \)** (Round to two decimal places as needed.) [ ] - **C. Neither the normal distribution nor the t distribution applies.** [ ] Use the appropriate statistical tables or technology to find the critical values needed for constructing the confidence interval. Remember to interpret the results in the context of the given problem and the data provided.

Given information- Sample size, n = 156 Sample mean, x-bar = 29.3 hg Sample standard deviation, s =…

Assume that we want to construct a confidence interval. Do one of the following, as appropriate: (a) find the critical value ta/2. (b) find the critical value za/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=D156, x 29.3 hg, s = 7.7 hg. The confidence level is 90%.

Age Differences In a large hospital, a nursing director selected a random sample of 43 registered nurses and found that the mean of their ages was 31.5. The population standard deviation for the ages is 4.5. She selected a random sample of 32 nursing assistants and found the mean of their ages was 29.7. The population standard deviation of the ages for the assistants is 5.3. Find the 95% confidence interval of the differences in the ages. Use μ1 for the mean age of the nursing assistants. Round the answers to at least one decimal place. Use a TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus calculator. ? < μ1- μ2 < ?
Mrs. Gallas wanted to estimate the average weight of an Oreo cookie to determine if theaverage weight was less than advertised. She selected a random sample of 30 cookies andfound the weight of each cookie (in grams). The mean weight was = 11.1921 grams with astandard deviation of sx = 0.0817 grams. Make a 95% confidence interval to estimate the truemean weight of an Oreo. 1. What is the formula for calculating the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x? 2.What condition must be met to use this formula? Has it been met?

We have presented a confidence interval (CI) for the difference, μ1 − μ2, between two population means. Interpret each confidence interval. 95% CI is from 15 to 20.
A researcher is interested in studying the use of hypnosis to relieve pain. She took a random sample of 16 subjects and measured their sensory ratings. The mean of the sensory ratings was found to be 7.5 and standard deviation to be 2.3. It is known that the sensory ratings are normally distributed. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean sensory ratings of the population. a) (5.81, 9.19) b) (6.27, 8.73) c) (6.36, 8.64) d) (6.02, 8.98)
The Pizza Shop wanted to determine what proportion of its customers ordered only cheese pizza. Out of 80 customers surveyed, 15 ordered cheese pizza. They want a 99% confidence interval of the true proportion of customers who order only cheese pizza. Which type of confidence interval should we use here? a confidence interval for the mean using a table value from the standard normal distribution. a confidence interval for the mean using a table value from the t distribution. a confidence interval for a proportion using a table value from the standard normal distribution. a confidence interval for proportion using a table value from the t distribution.
Tina catches a 14-pound bass. She does not know the population mean or standard deviation. So she takes a sample of five friends and they say the last bass they caught was 9, 12, 13, 10, and 10 pounds. Find the t and calculate a 95% (α = .05) confidence interval.
A statistics class is estimating the mean height of all female students at their college. They collect a random sample of 42 female students and measure their heights. The mean of the sample is 65.3 inches and the sample standard deviation is 5.4 inches. Find the 90% confidence interval for the mean height of all female students in their school? Assume that the distribution of individual female heights at this school is approximately normal. 1. The t value is 1.3025 2. The standard error has a value of -- 3. The margin of error has a value of 4. Find the 90% confidence interval for the mean height of all female students in their school
The distribution of study times for first year students follows a Normal distribution with standard deviation σσ = 54 minutes. Suppose a sample of 487 students found that the mean study time for these students was x¯x¯= 173 minutes per week. Use this to find a 88.28% confidence interval to estimate the mean study time for all students. We are 88.28% confident that the mean study time for first year students is between minutes_____ and ____ minutes. What is the margin of error for your confidence interval?

Jose wants to advertise how many chocolate chips are in each Big Chip cookie at his bakery. He randomly selects a sample of 52 cookies and finds that the number of chocolate chips per cookie in the sample has a mean of 19.5. The population standard deviation is 2.5. What is the 90% confidence interval for the number of chocolate chips per cookie for Big Chip cookies? Assume the data is from a normally distributed population.Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible.
