A researcher is interested in studying the use of hypnosis to relieve pain. She took a random sample of 16 subjects and measured their sensory ratings. The mean of the sensory ratings was found to be 7.5 and standard deviation to be 2.3. It is known that the sensory ratings are normally distributed. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean sensory ratings of the population. a) (5.81, 9.19) b) (6.27, 8.73) c) (6.36, 8.64) d) (6.02, 8.98)
4. Suppose the number of patients seen in Nash General's Emergency Room each day varies normally with mean .

Give a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of patients useen per day. b. State the margin of error for the 90% confidence interval you found in part a.
The following data represent the length of time, in days, to recovery for patients randomly treated with one of two medications to clear up severe bladder infections.

You measure 38 backpacks' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 77 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 10.7 ounces. Based on this, what is the maximal margin of error associated with a 99% confidence interval for the true population mean backpack weight. Give your answer as a decimal, to two places H ounces
A researcher is interested in finding a 95% confidence interval for the mean number minutes students are concentrating on their professor during a one hour statistics lecture. The study included 133 students who averaged 36.1 minutes concentrating on their professor during the hour lecture. The standard deviation was 13.4 minutes. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible. b. With 95% confidence the population mean minutes of concentration is between and minutes. c. If many groups of 133 randomly selected members are studied, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean minutes of concentration and about percent will not contain the true population mean minutes of concentration.

Imagine that a researcher wants to compare the intelligence levels of Poodles to all dogs. He hypothesizes that Poodles will score differently than other dogs. He uses a standard test of dog intelligence in his study. The population of all dogs has a mean of μ = 100, and an SD of 15. He obtains a random sample of 500 Poodles and he finds that the mean intelligence score of the sample is 117. Is this a one- or two- tailed test? Write the Ho and Ha for this research question. What kind of statistic should be calculated to test the hypothesis? Compute that statistic by hand What should the researcher conclude? Write a blurb describing the results

The mayor is interested in finding a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of pounds of trash per person per week that is generated in the city. The study included 185 residents whose mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week was 34.3 pounds and the standard deviation was 6.4 pounds. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible. a. With 90% confidence the population mean number of pounds per person per week is between and pounds. b. If many groups of 185 randomly selected members are studied, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week and about percent will not contain the true population mean number of pounds of trash generated per person per week.
