A new sneaker claims that it can make male athletes jump higher. A sample of 47 male athletes were asked to jump once with their own sneakers on and once wearing the new sneakers. The average jump increased by 0.94 inches with the new sneakers with a standard deviation of 1.13 inches. What is the upper bound of the 95% confidence interval for the average jump increase?|
A soft drink company asked you to conduct a survey on consumer preference on their soft drink product "Papsi-Cola" in Metro Manila. Based on your survey, 340 out of 500 people preferred the soft drink "Papsi Cola". a What is the best point estimate for the true proportion of consumers preferring Papsi-Cola in Metro Manila? Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of consumers in Metro Manila that prefer "Papsi-Cola". If more than 60% of the consumers prefer Papsi-Cola, the company will continue the production of the soft drink? Based on your findings, should you advise the company to continue the production of "Papsi-Cola"?

From a random sample of 7 students in an introductory finance class that uses group-learning techniques, the mean examination score was found to be 76.64 and the sample standard deviation was 2.7. For an independent random sample of 8 students in another introductory finance class that does not use group-learning techniques, the sample mean and standard deviation of exam scores were 71.65 and 8.4, respectively. Estimate with 99% confidence the difference between the two population mean scores; do not assume equal population variances. A Click the icon to view the Student's t distribution table.

The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that American workers spend and average time of 27 minutes travel time to work. The travel time to work for American workers is known to be approximately normally distributed. A random sample of 20 American workers in the Chicago metropolitan area was taken and their travel times to work were recorded. Choose the formula that should be used to calculate a confidence interval for the true mean travel time to work for American workers in the Chicago metropolitan area.

Bilirubin is a yellowish substance in your blood that forms after red blood cells break down and it travels through your liver, gallbladder, and digestive tract before being excreted. Elevated levels may indicate liver damage as your liver isn’t clearing bilirubin properly. A researcher is interested in estimating the mean Bilirubin level for a population of patients with liver disease along with its 90% confidence interval. The researcher collected data from a sample of 24 patients and found the average Bilirubin level is 86.08 with standard deviation 106. However, due to the skewness in the data, a natural logarithm of the data was performed to satisfy normality assumption required for calculating the confidence interval. The resulted 90% confidence interval for the mean Bilirubin level under the natural log transformation is (3.69,4.3). Which one of the following options best helps the researcher in making inference about the true population mean Bilirubin level? a. Based…

Researchers are studying whether the proportion of homeschooled children in district 1 (considered 1) is less than the proportion of homeschooled children in neighboring district 2 (considered as 2). To test the theory info was gathered: district 1 had 600 students of which 90 were homeschooled. District 2 had 550 students of which 99 were homeschooled. What is the 95% confidence interval for the difference proportion between district 1 and 2? A. (-0.086, 0.026) B. (0.143, 0.217) C. (0.113, 0.187)
