For a random sample of 100 students, the mean cost for textbooks during the first semester of college was found to be $352.75, and the sample standard deviation was $38.22. Assuming that the population is normally distributed, find the margin of error of a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. The margin of error for a 90% confidence interval is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) ...

A study of 420 comma 026 cell phone users found that 140 of them developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Prior to this study of cell phone use, the rate of such cancer was found to be 0.0434 % for those not using cell phones. Complete parts (a) and (b). a. Use the sample data to construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of cell phone users who develop cancer of the brain or nervous system. b. Do cell phone users appear to have a rate of cancer of the brain or nervous system that is different from the rate of such cancer among those not using cell phones? Why or why not?

Here are summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn girls: n=217, x=31.7hg, s=6.5hg. Construct a confidence interval estimate of the mean. Use a 98% confidence level. Are these results very different from the confidence interval 29.6hg<μ<32.6hg with only 17 sample values, x=31.1hg, and s=2.4hg? What is the confidence interval for the population mean μ? hg < μ < hg (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
One method for measuring air pollution is to measure the concentration of carbon monoxide, or CO, in the air. Suppose Nina, an environmental scientist, wishes to estimate the CO concentration in Zagreb, Croatia. She randomly selects 45 locations throughout the city measures the CO concentration at each location. Based on her 45 samples, she computes the margin of error for a 95% t-confidence interval for the mean concentration of CO in Zagreb, in µg/m³, to be 4.28. What would happen to the margin of error if Nina decreases the confidence level to 90%? Nina increases the confidence level to 99%? Nina decreases the sample size to 33 locations? Nina increases the sample size to 65 locations? Answer Bank Increase Stay the same Decrease
A. True or False? A researcher compares the BMI of two populations of individuals from different socioeconomic backgrounds and finds that the proportion of individuals considered obese and from a poor background is .37 (n = 112), and the proportion of individuals considered obese and from an affluent background is .27 (n = 87); a 95% confidence interval for the risk difference for obesity among members of the poor population compared to the affluent population is (-0.03, 0.23). B. Why is it true or false?
you conducted additional studies with these men and found the following: a. The RR for those who drank one drink per day was 1.50 (95% CI:1.32-1.67) in comparison to the abstainers. b. For those men who drank three or more drinks per day the RR compared to the abstainers was 4.20 (95% CI 2.68-5.85). Question: We can tell from the Confidence Intervals provided in #7 whether there are likely more people in the “one drink a day” group or the “3+ drinks per day” group. Which one likely has more people and how can we tell?
An environmental health officer has been asked about levels of radon in homes in a particular county. As an initial step to forming a response to this inquiry, the officer plans to randomly select 20 homes in the county. The level of radon in each of the 20 homes will be measured, and the sample mean, x̅, and the sample standard deviation, s, will be calculated. Using these values, a 90% confidence interval will be constructed for the mean radon level for all homes in the county. Which of the following is the correct value of "t" for forming a confidence interval? a) 1.645 b) 1.328 c) 1.325 d) 1.725 e) 1.729
