Indiana State University has asked that instructors provide information regarding pass/fail rates in Math 241. The University is provided with a random sample of 31 final exam scores from the Spring semester and notes the following summary statistics: mean exam score of sample (out of 100 points) standard deviation of sample 3 points 84 points Assuming the distribution of the sample is unimodal and symmetric, and ta0 = 1.697, calculate a 90% confidence interval for the true average test score of all Math 241 students. Explain this interval in context of the problem using complete sentences.

A simple random sample of 41 Veterans Day celebrations was selected and the number of children attending each was recorded. The mean number of children in attendance for this sample of 41 Veterans Day celebrations was 72, with a standard deviation of 9.4. If appropriate, use this information to calculate and interpret a 98% confidence interval for the mean number of children attending all 2017 Veterans Day celebrations. Is the population standard deviation known? Yes No
We have developed a new drug used to reduce fever and want to test its efficacy. Ten ER patients who are running a fever agree to take the new drug instead of the traditional treatment. Their temperatures are taken before the drug is administered and 30 minutes after taking the drug. The results are recorded in the Excel file below. Use the data to construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the mean change in temperatures of patients after taking this drug using Excel. Be sure to include any explanation necessary along with a sentence that explains what the interval means. First Temp Second Temp 100.1 98.9 101.3 99.1 102.1 99.2 102.7 99 101.9 98.7 100.8 98.6 103.1 99.4 102.5 99.2 103.5 100.1 101.7 99.2
A random sample of 174 college students was asked to indicate the number of hours per week that they surf the Internet for either personal information or material for a class assignment. The sample mean response was 6.06 hours and the sample standard deviation was 1.43 hours. Based on these results, a confidence interval extending from 5.96 to 6.16 was calculated for the population mean. Find the confidence level of this interval.
Suppose you work for the Department of Environment and National Resources (DENR). You want to estimate, with 95% confidence, the mean length of all tilapia in a fish hatchery pond. You take a random sample of 10 tilapia and determine the average length is 10.5 inches and the sample standard deviation is 2.9 inches. Construct a confidence interval for this sample and interpret the result.
Do AP Statistics students have higher GPA's than non AP Statistics students? Random samples of 20 AP Statistics students and 20 non AP Statistic students were taken. AP Statistics students had a mean GPA of 3.335 with a standard deviation of 0.557. Non AP Statistics students had a mean GPA of 3.04 with a standard deviation of 0.685. Assume the distribution of all AP Statistics scores are normally distributed. Use a 95% confidence interval for the true difference in average GPAS for AP Statistics and non AP Statistics students to determine if one group has a higher GPA than the other.
Dr. Higney, an academic researcher in an English department, wants to learn about the average length of a novel. In order to do this, Dr. Higney collects data on the word counts of 200 randomly selected novels. The sample mean of this data set is = 85252 with a sample standard deviation of 8413 words. Using this data, construct a 90% confidence interval for the true mean length of novels. (84,273.50, 86,230.51) (82719.67,89784.33) (94086.04, 96417.96) (80937.53, 90566.47) S
A study by the department of education of a certain state was trying to determine the mean SAT scores of the graduating high school seniors. The study examined the scores of a random sample of 190 graduating seniors and found the mean score to be 520 with a standard deviation of 87. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean, rounding all values to the nearest tenth.
A researcher collected data on a sample of 40 stores of a large retail chain, and for each store translate data to a conventional performance rating. The average performance rating among sample values is calculated to be 275. calculate an approxiate 95% confidence interval for the mean performance rating of all stories of the chain. Assume the standard deviation of performance ratings among all store in the chain is 90.
