refer to imageIn a follow-up study, researchers would like to estimate the mean body temperature of healthy US adult women to within 0.05 degrees Fahrenheit, at the 88% level.The researchers need to calculate the minimum sample size required to do this estimation. They will use the sample standard deviation from the previous study in place of the population standard deviation. Find the minimum sample size required to estimate the population mean body temperature to within0.05 degrees Fahrenheit.Keep all of your intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places until the very end of your calculations. The body temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) of a random sample of n = 50 healthyadult women in the US was measured. The sample mean was a = 98.382 degreesFahrenheit and the sample standard deviation was s0.712 degrees Fahrenheit.

Given : Margin of error : E = 0.05 s = 0.712 confidence level : Cl = 88%=0.88 level of significance…

The mean act composite score of students is 22 with a standard deviation of 3.75. Assume the act scores of students are normally distributed. A friend of yours has an act composite score of 30. Determine your friends percentile rank and round two decimals
You want to estimate the mean amount of time Internet users spend on Facebook each month. How many Internet users must be surveyed in order to be 90% confident that your sample mean is within 10 minutes of the population mean? Based on results from a prior survey, assume that the standard deviation of the population of monthly times spent on Facebook is 210 minutes.
You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (US EIA) reported that the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline is $2.94. The US EIA updates its estimates of average gas prices on a weekly basis. Assume the standard deviation is $0.25 for the price of a gallon of regular gasoline and recommend the appropriate sample size for the US EIA to use if they wish to report each of the following margins of error at 95% confidence. (Round your answers up to the nearest whole number.) (a) The desired margin of error is $0.10. (b) The desired margin of error is $0.06. (c) The desired margin of error is $0.04.
A developmental psychologist is interested in studying how long babies gaze at a photograph of a human face. To test this question, she shows a picture to a sample of six babies and records the length of their gaze in seconds. The data are as follows: 12, 17, 18, 20, 20, 29. Calculate the mean, median, mode, range, variance and standard deviation for the sample.
Choose the appropriate statistical test. When computing, be sure to round each answer as indicated. A dentist wonders if depression affects ratings of tooth pain. In the general population, using a scale of 1-10 with higher values indicating more pain, the average pain rating for patients with toothaches is 6.8. A sample of 30 patients that show high levels of depression have an average pain rating of 7.1 (variance 0.8). What should the dentist determine? 1. Calculate the estimated standard error.
