In a survey, 1500 adults in a certain country were asked how many hours they worked in the previous week. Based on the results, a 95% confidence interval for mean number of hours worked was lower bound: 39.5 and upper bound: 42.1. Which of the following represents a reasonable interpretation of the result? For those that are not reasonable, explain the flaw. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. (a) There is a 95% chance the mean number of hours worked by adults in this country in the previous week was between 39.5 hours and 42.1 hours. O A. Correct. This interpretation is reasonable. OB. Flawed. This interpretation makes an implication about individuals rather than the mean. OC. Flawed. This interpretation implies that the population mean varies rather than the interval. O D. Flawed. This interpretation implies that the mean is only for last week.

A new drug to treat high cholesterol is being tested by pharmaceutical company. The cholesterol levels for 27 patients were recorded before administering the drug and after. The 99% confidence interval for the true mean difference in total cholesterol levels (after - before) was (-78.82, -31.18). Which of the following is the appropriate conclusion? Question 4 options: 1) We are 99% confident that the average difference in cholesterol levels is positive, with the higher cholesterol levels being before the drug regimen. 2) We are 99% confident that the average difference in cholesterol levels is positive, with the higher cholesterol levels being after the drug regimen. 3) We are 99% confident that the average difference in cholesterol levels is negative, with the higher cholesterol levels being before the drug regimen. 4) We are 99% confident that the average difference in…
1. A company surveyed its employees to determine what the new daily meal allotment dollar amount should be. Of the 159 employees, 94 responded. Pat’s supervisor asked what the recommended dollar amount should be. Pat could take the mean of the 94 responses or calculate a confidence interval about the mean using those 94 responses. Which action of the two (don’t go outside these choices) would give the supervisor a better idea of what the true mean is, and why?
The mean potassium content of a popular sports drink is listed as 132 mg in a 32-oz bottle. Analysis of 24 bottles indicates a sample mean of 131.2 mg. (a) State the hypotheses for a two-tailed test of the claimed potassium content.. a. Ho: μ= 132 mg vs. H₁: b. He: ≤132 mg vs. H₁: c. He: ≥132 mg vs. H₁: Oa Ob Oc (b) Assuming a known standard deviation of 2.1 mg, calculate the z test statistic to test the manufacturer's claim. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign.) Test statistic 132 mg >132 mg <132 mg (c) At the 2 percent level of significance (a = .02) does the sample contradict the manufacturer's claim? Decision Rule: Reject Ho

According to a Field Poll, 263 out of 569 of California adults feel that "education and our schools" is one of the top issues facing California. We wish to construct a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of California adults who feel that education and the schools is one of the top issues facing California. The error bound is ___________ rounded to 4 decimal places.
