Next Question A statistics instructor randomly selected four bags of oranges, each bag labeled 10 pounds, and w that the distribution of weights is Normal. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of all bags of oranges. Use technology for your calculations. Answer parts a and b ley weighed 9.3, 9.1, 9.5, and 9.6 pounds. D Assume below. a. Choose the correct interpretation of the confidence interval below and, if necessary, fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. O A. We are 95% confident that the sample mean is between and O B. There is a 95% chance that all intervals will be between and O C. We are 95% confident the population mean is between and O D. The requirements for constructing a confidence interval are not satisfied. (Type integers or decimals rounded to the nearest thousandth as needed. Use ascending order.) b. Does the interval capture 10 pounds? Is there enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the population mean weight is 10 pounds? Explain…

According to recent data by the American Marketing Association, 76.5%of people in the 18-24 age group used social media in 2017. You want to find out what the social media proportion is among your classmates who are all between 18 and 24 years old. Suppose you obtain a random sample of 229 students and find that 202 students in this sample are active social media users. Complete parts a through c below. a. Construct a 99% confidence interval to estimate the actual proportion of social media users. A 99% confidence interval to estimate the actual proportion has a lower limit of------ and an upper limit of------- (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. What is the margin of error for this sample? c. Is there evidence that this proportion matches that of the overall population based on the sample?
A survey asked, "How many tattoos do you currently have on your body?" Of the 1233 males surveyed, 183 responded that they had at least one tattoo. Of the 1042 females surveyed, 139 responded that they had at least one tattoo. Construct a 95% confidence interval to judge whether the proportion of males that have at least one tattoo differs significantly from the proportion of females that have at least one tattoo. Interpret the interval. C Let p₁ represent the proportion of males with tattoos and p2 represent the proportion of females with tattoos. Find the 95% confidence interval for p₁ -P2- The lower bound is The upper bound is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
