For a 90% confidence interval, a .10 and /2 =.05 so 2/2 Z 05 which is the z-Score leaving .05 in each tail. I could find this scanning my z-table 'backwords' looking for the z-score that has an area of .45000 between 0 and Z. My table doesn't give this to me directly, but I can see that this z-score would be between 1.64 and 1.65. I could also find this z-score using my t-table. Here if I want the area in the tail to be, .05, the area to the left of my mark is .95 (this causes errors for some as they are making a 90% confidence interval, but using the column labeled .95). Looking at the bottom line of the t-table (for df = 00) and the column for .95, we find Z 05 = 1.645. The third way we can get Z 05 is to go to 'distr' on our calculator to find InvNorm(.05) = -1.645. This tells us that -1.645 is the z-score that leaves an area of .05 in the left tail. By symmetry we know that 1.645 will leave .05 in the right tail.

Jeremiah earned a score of 530 on Exam A that had a mean of 450 and a standard deviation of 40. He is about to take Exam B that has a mean of 63 and a standard deviation of 20. How well must Jeremiah score on Exam B in order to do equivalently well as he did on Exam A? Assume that scores on each exam are normally distributed.
Check my An airline's data indicate that this past year, the average time it takes to board their flights is 45 minutes. The airline is considering changing their boarding procedures to reduce the boarding time for travelers. The new procedures were implemented and the boarding times for a random sample of 22 customers was taken to determine if there was a statistically significant decrease at in boarding times a= 0.10 with z = - 0.89 and t = . 1.07. What is the decision?
You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of women over 40 who regularly have mammograms is significantly less than 0.24. Thus you are performing a left-tailed test. Your sample data produce the test statistic z=−2.665z=-2.665. Find the p-value accurate to 4 decimal places.
Let's say that the mean score on this exam turns out to be 73 with a standard deviation of 12 and is normally distributed. If I gave a B to everyone who had an 80 or above, what percent of the class would get B's (or better)?
Q2. There is a claim that the average mileage given by the particular model car is 22 kilometer per liter. A researcher thought that it is less than 22 kilometer per liter. For this he selected a random sample of 16 cars of the same model and found that the sample gave mean mileage 20.5 kilometer per liter with standard deviation 2 kilometer per liter. If you are that researcher, give your conclusion about the claim at a = 0.05?

Researchers wish to investigate whether anxiety in children has increased over time. In 1950, the average score on the Child Manifest Anxiety Scale was µ= 15.1. A sample of n = 16 was taken from children today, which produced a mean anxiety score of M= 23.3 with SS= 240. Based on the sample, has there been a significant change in the average level of childhood anxiety since 1950?
