How badly does logging damage tropical rain forests? One study compared forest plots in Borneo that had never been logged with similar plots nearby that had been logged 8 years earlier. The study found that the effects of logging were somewhat less severe than expected. Here are the data on the number of tree species in 12 unlogged plots and 9 logged plots.

CONFIDENCE INTERVALS FOR THE DIFFERENCE IN 2 POPULATION MEANS Children in two elementary school classrooms were given two versions of the same test, but with the order of questions arranged from easier to more difficult in Version A and in reverse order in Version B. Randomly selected students from each class were given Version A (sample 1) and the rest Version B (sample 2). The 95% confidence interval for the difference in the average score between students taking Version A and students taking Version B is (-10, -2). Interpret this interval. O u1 is similar to µ2, therefore we can be 95% confident that the average score for students taking Version A is similar to that of students taking Version B. µ1 is substantially more than p2, therefore we can be 95% confident that the average score for students taking Version A is substantially less than for students taking Version B. µ1 is substantially less than µ2, therefore we can be 95% confident that the average score for students taking…

If n = 20, the sample mean = 250, SD = 15, SEM = 3.354, what is the confidence interval (using 95% confidence level). What percent confidence do you have that the population mean is between what two values
) For each problem below, Decide whether it describes a confidence interval for a proportion or a confidence interval for a mean. Apply the correct formula to calculate the confidence interval in the format of an estimate + margin of error. During the 2016 season, Mark Williams played in 18 golf matches and used his driver club 126 times, hitting his drives an average of 278 yards per drive, with a standard deviation of 15 yards per drive. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the distance he was able to hit his driver club in that season.
Congratulations, you just made a confidence interval! But wait, how did we decide on the width of the interval? The middle of the interval is the sample mean. We start there, and then the "wiggle room" we give on either side of that center is called the margin of error (MOE). There's a formula for margin of error: 0 MOE = 2* √T This formula consists of three values: o is the standard deviation, n is the sample size, and z is a multiplier that we choose based on the confidence level we need. Confidence levels are expressed as percentages, the most common are 90%, 95%, and 99%: * Confidence Z Level value 90% 1.645 95% 1.96 99% 2.576 Let's practice computing a margin of error. For our earlier example about houses, suppose the standard deviation was 14 years, and the sample size was 30. Use a confidence level of 95% and determine the margin of error: σ Remember, we'll use the formula MOE = 2* . First fill in the numbers for each part of the formula: √n = σ= n = Now put it all together,…
