#### (a)

Determine the sample mean for weight and the standard error of the mean. (Round the standard error of the mean to three decimal places.)

- **Sample mean:** [__________] lb
- **Standard error mean:** [__________] lb

Select the correct description for each variable:

(i) **The 20 students who provided their weight**
- ○ Population
- ○ Sample
- ○ Population parameter

(ii) **All the students at the local school**
- ○ Population
- ○ Sample
- ○ Population parameter

(iii) **The mean weight of all the children**
- ○ Population
- ○ Sample
- ○ Population parameter

#### (b)

Fill in the correct values. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

The 90% confidence interval for the mean is [__________] lb to [__________] lb.

Select the correct description(s) of this interval. Select all that apply.

- □ The interval is found by adding and subtracting a multiple of the mean to the standard error mean.
- □ The interval is found by adding and subtracting a multiple of the standard error mean from the mean.
- □ The mean of the sample is equal to the mean of the population.
- □ There is a 10% chance that the confidence interval does not contain the mean weight of the school.
- □ There is a 10% chance the mean weight of the school is above the larger number in the interval.
- □ There is a 90% chance that the confidence interval contains the mean weight of the school.

#### (c)

Fill in the correct values. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

There is a 1% chance the mean weight of the school is outside the interval [__________] lb to [__________] lb.

**Educational Analysis of Students' Weights**

In this analysis, we examine the weights (in pounds) of 20 students from a local school.

**Graphical Representation:**
- The histogram displayed shows the distribution of students' weights. It is accompanied by a box plot at the top, indicating the data's spread and any potential outliers (e.g., a dot representing an outlier above 260 pounds).

**Quantile Data:**
- Maximum Weight: 247 pounds.
- Minimum Weight: 138 pounds.
- 50th Percentile (Median): 176 pounds.
- 25th Percentile (Quartile): 158.25 pounds.
- 75th Percentile (Quartile): 192.5 pounds.

**Summary Statistics:**
- Mean Weight: 178.6 pounds.
- Standard Deviation: 24.690505 pounds, indicating variability in the weights.
- Standard Error of Mean: 5.5209648.
- 95% Confidence Interval for Mean:
  - Upper Limit: 190.15551 pounds.
  - Lower Limit: 167.04449 pounds.
- Sample Size (N): 20 students.

**Confidence Intervals (CI):**
- For a 90% CI:
  - Mean Weight Estimate: 178.6 pounds.
  - Lower CI: 169.0535 pounds.
  - Upper CI: 188.1465 pounds.
- For a 99% CI:
  - Mean Weight Estimate: 178.6 pounds.
  - Lower CI: 162.8049 pounds.
  - Upper CI: 194.3951 pounds.
- Standard Deviation and its respective confidence intervals (90% and 99%) provide additional context about weight variability.

This data facilitates understanding the weight distribution among the students, helping in assessing general health or nutrition trends in the school.
