Say that on average teenagers eat 10 slices of pizza each week, with a 95% confidence interval of (8-12). We take a sample of teenagers and find that this group eats an average of 9 slices each week. What can we say about the teenagers in the sample in relation to the confidence interval?

A random sample of n1 = 213 people who live in a city were selected and 80 identified as a "dog person." A random sample of n2 = 98 people who live in a rural area were selected and 61 identified as a "dog person." Find the 90% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of people that live in a city who identify as a "dog person" and the proportion of people that live in a rural area who identify as a "dog person." Round answers to to 4 decimal places. Рі — Р2
find the t sub alpha/2 when n=23 for the 95% confidence interval.
A researcher surveys a group of college students to determine the negative life events that they experienced in the past 5 years and their current feeling of well-being. For N = 18 participants with 2 or fewer negative experiences, the average well-being score was X = 42 with SS = 398. For the N = 16 participants with 5 to 10 negative experiences the average score is X = 48.6 with SS = 370. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the population means for the two groups.

One scientist wondered if there was a difference in the average daily intake of dairy products between men and women. He took a sample of n1 = 50 adult men and n2 = 50 adult women and recorded their daily intake of dairy products in grams per day. A summary of the sample results is presented in the table. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the average daily intake of dairy products for men and women. Can it be concluded that there is a difference in the average daily intakes for men and women?
Suppose a new treatment for a certain disease is given to a sample of 180 patients. The treatment was successful for 153of the patients. Assume that these patients are representative of the population of individuals who have this disease. Calculate a 98% confidence interval for the proportion successfully treated. (Round the answers to three decimal places.)
Suppose you are planning an experiment and a sample has yet been selected. For this experiment you plan on taking a SRS of 50 mice with pancreatic cancer measuring a particular hormone level. What would be the impact on a 95% confidence interval calculated from the experiment on these mice if instead of a SRS of 50 mice, a SRS of 200 mice were taken?

Suppose you compute a confidence interval with a sample size of 37. What will happen to the confidence interval if the sample size increases to 70?
A box model is used to calculate a confidence interval in the following scenario: Statistics club at TYHS wants to know the average time students in TYHS spent on preparing for their standardized exams. They sampled 100 students from TYHS. They want to construct a confidence interval for the average time that students in TYHS spent on preparing for their standardized exams. For each of the following quantities in the box model, select the answer if the quantity is random, not fixed. Leave the quantities that are fixed unselected. Group of answer choices. You can select more than one answer the proportion of 0's in the box model the EV and SE of the sample average the average time of every student in TYHS spent on preparing for their standardized exams the sample average of students spent on preparing for their standardized exams
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?
