If n=21, (x-bar)=37, and s=3, construct a confidence interval at a 90% confidence level. Assume the data came from a normally distributed population. Give your answers to one decimal place.
Now change the 'Normal' choice to 'Exponential' This changes the underlying population from one that has a normal distribution to one that is very not normal. Change the sample size to 5 and run samples. a. How well do the 95% confidence intervals do at capturing the true population mean when samples sizes are small? b. Now change the sample size to 40 and run samples. Does a larger sample size mean that the intervals are more likely to capture the true population value? Why? Note THIS is an important concept and relates back to the Sampling Distribution of Sample Means and how the SDSM changes as sample size increases when the population is not normal.
When a population has less variability, for the same margin of error and confidence level, the confidence interval becomes a. larger b. smaller c. of unchanged size
Tina catches a 14-pound bass. She does not know the population mean or standard deviation. So she takes a sample of five friends and they say the last bass they caught was 9, 12, 13, 10, and 10 pounds. Find the t and calculate a 95% (α = .05) confidence interval.
If n=17, (x-bar)=48, and s=2, construct a confidence interval at a 80% confidence level. Assume the data came from a normally distributed population. Give your answers to one decimal place.
In a survey, the planning value for the population proportion is p* 0.25. How large a sample should be taken to provide a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of 0.02? Round your answer up to the next whole number. =
A marine biologist would like to estimate the mean weight of all mahi mahi on the Treasure Coast, using a 99% confidence interval. The standard deviation of the weights of all mahi mahi on the Treasure Coast is known to be 8.2 pounds. How large a sample of mahi mahi should the marine biologist select so that the estimate is within 0.88 pounds of the true population mean. Round the solution up to the nearest whole number. n=
If n=200 and X=70, construct a 99% confidence interval estimate for the population proportion. SAS (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Beth wants to determine a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of high school students in the area who attend their home basketball games. How large of a sample must she have to get a margin of error less than 0.04? Assume we have no prior estimate of the proportion and want a conservative choice for the sample size. n =
Based on a random sample of 50, a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion was computed. Holding everything else constant, which of the following will reduce the length of the confidence interval by half? (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY)
