**Confidence Intervals: Understanding and Calculation**---**Instructions:**1. For each problem below, decide whether it describes a confidence interval for a proportion or a confidence interval for a mean.2. Apply the correct formula to calculate the confidence interval in the format of an estimate ± margin of error.---**Example Problem:**During the 2016 season, Mark Williams played in 18 golf matches and used his driver club 126 times, hitting his drives an average of 278 yards per drive, with a standard deviation of 15 yards per drive. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the distance he was able to hit his driver club in that season.---**Explanation:**In the problem provided, we need to determine and calculate the confidence interval for the mean distance Mark Williams hit his driver club, using the given data. 1. **Identify the type of confidence interval:** This is a confidence interval for a mean because we are looking to estimate the average distance (a continuous variable) with a given standard deviation.2. **Formulate the confidence interval:** The confidence interval for the mean is usually calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Confidence Interval} = \bar{x} \pm Z \left(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\right) \] Where: - $\bar{x}$ is the sample mean. - $Z$ is the Z-score corresponding to the desired confidence level. - $\sigma$ is the standard deviation. - $n$ is the sample size.3. **Plug in the values:** \[ \bar{x} = 278 \text{ yards per drive} \] \[ \sigma = 15 \text{ yards} \] \[ n = 126 \text{ drives} \] For a 95% confidence level, the Z-score ($Z$) is approximately 1.96.4. **Calculate the margin of error:** \[ \text{Margin of Error} = 1.96 \left(\frac{15}{\sqrt{126}}\right) \] \[ \text{Margin of Error} \approx 1.96 \left(\frac{15}{11.225}\right) \] \[ \text{Margin of Error} \approx

A sleeping pill company have a pill that they claim will help you fall asleep in less than 30 minutes. A researcher is very skeptical of this claim and believe that it is more than 30 minutes. The researcher randomly collect 38 people and track how long it take them to fall asleep after they take the sleepy pill. The average mean time it took the 38 people to fall asleep is 31.5 minute with a standard deviation of 10.6 minutes. Test the researcher claim at a 10% significant level.

From the confidence interval, do you think that the proportion of Canadians who prefer apple products is different from Americans.
Zazil’s Instagram reels over the year have averaged around 70 likes per art reel with a standard deviation of 12. Since using trending music over her art reels, several of them have recently gone viral, averaging 120 likes with a standard deviation of 6. Zazil would like to know if adding trendy music over a reel increases her average likes. How do we use a Z-Test to test to calculate the data and determine if we reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
