A simple random sample of ten college freshmen were asked how many hours of sleep they typically got per night. The results were 8.5 8. 6.5 7.5 6. 8.5 24 6.5 9.5 Send data to Excel Notice that one joker said that he sleeps 24 a day. Part 1 of 3 (a) The data contain an outlier that is clearly a mistake. Eliminate the outlier, then construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean amount of sleep from the remaining values. Round the answers to at least two decimal places. A 98% confidence interval for the mean amount of sleep from the remaining values is 6.41 <µ< 9.15 Part: 1 /3 Part 2 of 3 (b) Leave the outlier in and construct the 98% confidence interval. Round the answers to at least two decimal places. If the outlier is included the 98% confidence interval is <µ< .

A statistics instructor randomly selected four bags of oranges, each bag labeled 10 pounds and weighed the bags. They weighed 9.3, 9.2, 9.5, and 9.5 pounds. Assume that the distribution of weights is Normal. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of all bags of oranges. Use technology for your calculations. Answer parts a and b below. a. Choose the correct interpretation of the confidence interval below and, if necessary, fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice.
A sample of freshman takes a reading comprehension test and their scores are summarized below. Sample scores: 16, 8, 8, 6, 9, 11, 13, 9, 10 a. if the mean for the general population on this test is m=12, can you conclude that this sample is significantly different from the population. Test with a=.05 b. Calculate a 90% confidence interval around your mean.
A simple random sample of 1000 people age 18 or over is taken in a large town. It turns out that 223 people in the sample are newspaper readers. Calculate a 90%-confidence interval for the percentage of people (age 18 and over) in that town who read newspapers. Choose the closest answer. a. (19.7%, 24.9%) b. (21.5%, 23.0%) c. (21.0%, 23.5%) d. (20.1%, 24.5%)
A researcher surveyed college students in the United States on the typical amount of time each day that they spend interacting with different types of media (television, social media, Internet-connected devices, game consoles, etc.) The researcher found that the mean amount of time that college students spent watching television each day is 135 minutes with a 95% confidence interval of (105, 165). a. State the conclusion the researcher can make from this confidence interval. b. What is the margin of error for the confidence interval?
A statistics instructor randomly selected four bags of oranges, each bag labeled 10 pounds, and weighed the bags. They weighed 10.3, 10.8, 10.4, and 10.6 pounds. Assume that the distribution of weights is Normal. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of all bags of oranges. Use technology for your calculations. Answer parts a and b below. a. Choose the correct interpretation of the confidence interval below and, if necessary, fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. A. We are 95% confident the population mean is between and B. There is a 95% chance that all intervals will be between and C. We are 95% confident that the sample mean is between and D. The requirements for constructing a confidence interval are not satisfied. (Type integers or decimals rounded to the nearest thousandth as needed. Use ascending order.)
Use R Studio to answer the following question:
Early-childhood-development studies indicate that the more often a child is read to from birth, the earlier the child begins to read. A local parents’ group wants to test this theory and samples families with young children. They find the following results. Construct a 99% confidence interval to estimate the true difference between the proportions of children who read at an early age when they are read to frequently compared to those who were read to less often, as described in the table of results. Let Population 1 be the children who were read to frequently and Population 2 be the children who were read to less often. Round the endpoints of the interval to three decimal places, if necessary. Ages when Children Begin to Read Read to at Least Three Times per Week Read to Fewer than Three Times per Week Started Reading by age 4 60 35 Started Reading after age 4 36 51 Lower end point: Upper end point:
