Falling coconuts kill over 150 people each year, which is more than the number of people who die each year from shark attacks. An independent study is conducted to validate this claim and to educate people about coconut safety. The study randomly selected 10 years from the past 100 years in which records have been kept for coconut deaths. We want to estimate the true mean number of deaths that can be attributed to falling coconuts annually with 95% confidence. Are the conditions for calculating a confidence interval for μ met in this case? Explain. No. The Random condition is not met and the Normal/Large Sample condition is not met. Yes! Both the Random and Normal/Large Sample conditions are met. We do not have enough information provided to determine if both of the conditions are met. No. The Normal/Large Sample condition is met, but the Random condition is not met. No. The Random condition is met, but the Normal/Large Sample condition is not met.

We wish to estimate an average number of education years for a college student atWVC. We take a sample of 47 students and find that the mean is 5.3 years and standard deviation is 0.9years.Find the 95% confidence interval for the population mean.
Why are confidence intervals important and what do they mean to a study?
Data are collected in an experiment designed to in- vestigate the impact of different positions of the mother during ultrasound on fetal heart rate. Fetal heart rate is measured by ultrasound in beats per minute. The study includes 20 women who are as- signed to one position and have the fetal heart rate measured in that position. Each woman is between 28 weeks and 32 weeks gestation. The data are shown in Table 7–7. Is there a significant difference in mean fetal heart rates by position? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. back side sitting standing 140 141 144 147 144 143 145 145 146 145 147 148 141 144 148 149 139 136 144 145
Why do we use a t-distribution to compute confidence intervals for population means?
What is the minimum required sample size to make a 96% confidence interval for a population mean if the margin of error is to be 2 inches and the standard deviation is thought to be about 12 inches?
Tesla claims that it’s latest battery will take only 1 hour to recharge and the battery will last more than double the time of a normal battery. On average, their battery lasts for 70 months. A research group wanted to test that claim. They took a sample of 50 batteries and they found that on average a Tesla battery would last 67 months with a standard deviation of 3.5 months. Using a 3% significance level can you conclude that the mean life of all the Tesla batteries is less than 70 months. (Use the P values approach)
The University of Montana admission standards require students to have an ACT score of at least 22.We know that Montana ACT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 20.1 and standarddeviation of 4. If we ask a random sample of 100 students who took the ACT, how many would be expected toqualify for admission to UM?
The results of a common standardized test used in psychology research is designed so that the population mean is 105 and the standard devlation is 30. A subject earns a score of 108. What is the Z-score for this raw score? Z-Score =
I want to estimate the population mean number of times that adults eat breakfast in a week. I spoke with 12 coworkers, and the numbers were 7, 5, 5, 7, 2, 3, 7, 5, 1, 0, 7, 6. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the population mean (round 3 decimal places).
A labor department wants to study mean age of all people in the civilian labor force. The average age of 49 randomly selected people in the civilian labor force is found to be 35.6 years. Assuming the population standard deviation is 11, what is the 95% confidence interval for true population mean?
A study was conducted to examine how anxiety (measured on a metric scale) varies for people from different age groups (<18 years, 19 - 29 years, 30 - 39 years, 40+ years). It was hypothesised that people <18 years old would have the least anxiety of the four age groups. It was also hypothesised that people 40+ years old would have more anxiety than people 19-29 years old. Which of the following would be an appropriate statistical test to conduct, which addresses these hypotheses? Group of answer choices: Factorial ANOVA Multiple Regression Mixed ANOVA Single factor ANOVA Within Subjects ANOVA
