In an engineering class, students want to determine the difference in the mean strength between two different types of building materials—Type A, which is relatively inexpensive, and Type B, which is slightly more expensive. The students take a random sample of 60 of the Type A building material and a random sample of 27 of the Type B building material. Given the mean strength for each sample, the students construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in population means. (a) Determine the degrees of freedom for the conservative approach for finding the t critical value. (b) Find the t critical value associated with 95% confidence. (Use a table or SALT. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
the variance in waiting times(in minutes) of 10 attendees at bethel woods, where attendees enter a single waiting line that feeds three checkpoint windows is 0.227 minutes. A 95% confidence interval for the population variance would be
The Martin County Health Department needs to estimate the proportion of all children in the county aged 19-35 months that are completely up to date with all state-recommended immunizations. The Martin County Health Department found that 88% of a random sample of children in the county aged 19-35 months were completely up to date with all state-recommended immunizations. Find three different confidence intervals - one with sample size 228, one with sample size 402, and one with sample size 658. Assume that 88% of the children each sample are completely up to date with all state recommended immunizations. Observe how the sample size affects the margin of error and subsequently the width of each interval. Report confidence interval solutions using interval notation. Report all solutions in percent form, rounded to two decimal places, if necessary. • When n = 228, the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval is given by When n = • When n = When n = 228, a 95% confidence interval is…
A researcher surveys a group of college students to determine the negative life events that they experienced in the past 5 years and their current feeling of well-being. For N = 18 participants with 2 or fewer negative experiences, the average well-being score was X = 42 with SS = 398. For the N = 16 participants with 5 to 10 negative experiences the average score is X = 48.6 with SS = 370. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the population means for the two groups.
A company that manufactures baseball bats believes that its new bat will allow players to hit the ball 30 feet farther than its current model. The owner hires a professional baseball player known for hitting home runs to hit ten balls with each bat and he measures the distance each ball is hit to test the company's claim. The results of the batting experiment are shown in the following table. Construct a 90 % confidence interval for the true difference between the mean distance hit with the new model and the mean distance hit with the older model. Assume that the variances of the two populations are the same. Let Population 1 be the distances of balls hit with the new model baseball bat and Population 2 be the distances of balls hit with the old model. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary. Hitting Distance (in Feet) New Model Old Model 215 234 202 298 224 294 211 246 215 268 248 211 255 226 228 284 247 221 214 259
One scientist wondered if there was a difference in the average daily intake of dairy products between men and women. He took a sample of n1 = 50 adult men and n2 = 50 adult women and recorded their daily intake of dairy products in grams per day. A summary of the sample results is presented in the table. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the average daily intake of dairy products for men and women. Can it be concluded that there is a difference in the average daily intakes for men and women?
Two groups of individuals were compared with respect to a high carbohydrate low-fat diet (LF) and a high-fat low carbohydrate diet (LC). Mood was assessed using a total mood disturbance score where a lower score is associated with a less negative mood. Assuming that the random samples come from independent normal distributions with a common but unknown variance, construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means, LC less LF.

The design of controls and instruments affects how easily people can use them. A student project investigated this effect by asking 25 right handed students to turn a knob with their right hands that moved an indicator by screw action. There were two identical instruments, one with a right-hand thread and the other with a left-hand thread. The table given has the data from the student project.1. Calculate and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean time advantage of right hand over left hand threads in the setting above.

A researcher studying reaction time of drivers states that, "A 95% confidence interval for the mean time it takes for a driver to apply the brakes after seeing the brake lights on a vehicle in front of him is 1.2 to 1.8 seconds." What are the point estimate and margin of error for this interval? Point estimate = 1.5 seconds; margin of error = 0.95 seconds. Point estimate = 1.2 seconds; margin of error = 0.3 seconds. Point estimate = 1.5 seconds; margin of error = 0.6 seconds. Point estimate = 1.5 seconds; margin of error = 0.3 seconds. a O b O d
