he University of Sydney conducted a survey to find out the average number of hours an academic exercised in a week. They would like to be 95% confident that the estimated mean is no more than 0.78 hours from the true mean. What sample size should they use. Past data has indicated that the standard deviation for academic exercise time is about 2 hours. a) What sample size should they use?

In the US, the average one-way commuting time is 26.4 minutes. Is this different in Atlanta? One survey of 35 Atlanta commuters found an average one-way commuting time of 30.7 minutes. (a) The test statistic is 1.1846. What is the meaning of this test statistic? The average error between different sample results and the hypothesized mean is 1.1846.The current sample result is 1.1846 standard errors above the hypothesized mean. The maximum error between different sample results and the hypothesized mean is 1.1846. (b) Based on the test statistic of 1.1846, what is the p-value to test if the average commuting time in Atlanta is different than the rest of the US? (4 decimals.) (c) On the basis of the above p-value, what can be said regarding a 95% confidence interval for the true average commuting time? The interval contain the value 26.4, because this value .
