Suppose that a random sample of 11 adults has a mean score of 79 on a standardized personality test, with a standard deviation of 7 . (A higher score indicates a more personable participant.) If we assume that scores on this test are normally distributed, find a 90% confidence interval for the mean score of all takers of this test. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval
Suppose a large labor union wishes to estimate the mean number of hours per month a union member is absent from work. The union decides to sample 351 of its members at random and monitor the working time of each of them for 1 month. At the end of the month, the total number of hours absent from work is recorded for each employee. If the mean and standard deviation of the sample are x=9.3 hours and s=3.8 hours, find a 90% confidence interval for the true mean number of hours a union member is absent per month. Round to the nearest thousandth. 9.3 ± .334 9.3 ± .018 9.3 ± .183 9.3 ± .171
A sample of 28 elements is selected to estimate a 95% confidence interval for the variance of the population. What is the chi-square values to be used for this interval?
The pulse rates of 176 randomly selected adult males vary from a low of 40 bpm to a high of 116 bpm. Find the minimum sample size required to estimate the mean pulse rate of adult males. Assume that we want 95% confidence that the sample mean is within 2 bpm of the population mean.
Suppose that the population standard deviation of a student's score is 20. Choose a sample size so that the resulting 95% confidence interval for the population mean score has a margin of error no larger than 5.
Suppose that the average time spent per day with digital media several years ago was 3 hours and 42 minutes. For last year, a random sample of 20 adults in a certain region spent the numbers of hours per day with digital media given in the accompanying table. Preliminary data analyses indicate that the t-interval procedure can reasonably be applied. Find and interpret a 95% confidence interval for last year's mean time spent per day with digital media by adults of the region. (Note: x=5.49 hr and s=2.20 hr.)
A pollster is going to sample a number of voters in a large city and construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion who support the incumbent candidate for mayor. Find a sample size so that the margin of error will be no larger than 0.05. Be sure to round up to the next whole number. The required sample size is X
Assume that the heights of women are normally distributed. A random sample of 20 women have a mean height of 62.5 inches and a standard deviation of 1.3 inches. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the population variance, .
The International Air Transport Association surveys business travelers to develop quality ratings for transatlantic gateway airports. The maximum possible rating is 10. Suppose a simple random sample of 50 business travelers is selected and each traveler is asked to provide a rating for the Miami International Airport. The ratings obtained from the sample of 50 business travelers provides a mean of 6.34 and a standard deviation of 2.163. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean rating for Miami.
