In a study of success records of nine students, a researcher reported the following results: 12,15,10,15,20,25,20,10,16. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the true mean number of success. We will assume that the data is normally distributed. O a. (12.75, 19.01) O b. (10.25, 21.52) O . (13.01, 18.75) O d. (12.01, 19.75) O e. (12.88, 18.88)

Example 5: Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean difference in the mileage obtained for tires with the new material and tires with the old material. Following are the paired differences (new minus old) for each of the 17 riders, chosen at random, who took part in the experiment: 50, 45, 50, 50, 100, 100, 100, -10, 75, -25, 0, 25, 75, 25, 50, 40, 35

A researcher surveyed college students in the United States on the typical amount of time each day that they spend interacting with different types of media (television, social media, Internet-connected devices, game consoles, etc.) The researcher found that the mean amount of time that college students spent watching television each day is 135 minutes with a 95% confidence interval of (105, 165). a. State the conclusion the researcher can make from this confidence interval. b. What is the margin of error for the confidence interval?
Listed below are the amounts of net worth in millions of the 10 wealthiest celebrities in a certain country. Construct a 90% confidence interval. What does the result tell us about the population of all the celebrities? Does the data appear to be from a normally distributed population as required? 247 208 196 173 166 161 148 148 143 143
Suppose a 95% confidence interval for the difference in test scores between Class 1 and Class 2 (in that order) is the following: 9 +/− 2. These results were based on independent samples of size 100 from each class. Now suppose you switch the order of Class 1 and Class 2 in your analysis but keep the data labeled correctly in terms of which class they came from. Which of the following statements is false? A) You can't do it this way. You'll get negative numbers for the difference in the means and/or negative numbers for the standard error. B) You are confident that the average for Class 2 is 7 to 11 points lower than for Class 1. C) You are still confident that the classes have significantly different mean scores. D) Your 95% confidence interval will now be entirely negative: from −7 to −11.
In a survey of 3242 adults aged 57 through 85 years, it was found that 82.9% of them used at least one prescription medication. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. How many of the 3242 subjects used at least one prescription medication? ____ (Round to the nearest integer as needed.) b. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of adults aged 57 through 85 years who use at least one prescription medication. ____%<p<____% (Round to one decimal place as needed.) c. What do the results tell us about the proportion of college students who use at least one prescription medication? A. The results tell us that there is a 90% probability that the true proportion of college students who use at least one prescription medication is in the interval found in part (b). B. The results tell us that, with 90% confidence, the probability that a college student uses at least one prescription medication is in the interval found in part (b).…
