K A large family-held department store had the business objective of improving its response to complaints. The variable of interest was defined as the number of days between when the complaint was made and when it was resolved. Data were collected from 40 complaints that were made in the last year. Use the data to complete parts (a) through (d) below. Click the icon to view the data table. a. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate for the population mean number of days between the receipt of a complaint and the resolution of the complaint. The 99% confidence interval estimate is from (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Match the scenarios with the appropriate measure of central tendency that should be used to compute them on the right. (Either mean or mode.) 1. Trying to understand the performance of students from their letter grades in the course. What measures of central tendency are appropriate for the situation? 2. A retailer sells diferent types of chocolate. Which measure of central tendency should the storeowner use to describe the most popular choclate? 3. You are trying to gauge how much you might need to spend to buy a house in a new locality. The data for the prices of the houses sold last year is available. The data shows some really expensive houses were sold in the locality and the price of no two houses seem to match in the sales data. What measures of central tendency are appropriate for the situation?

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF) has been concerned about lead levelsin California wines. In a previous testing of wine specimens, lead levels ranging from 50 to 700parts per billion were recorded. How many wine specimens (at the least) should be tested if theBATF wishes to estimate the mean lead level for California wines to within 10 parts per billionwith 95% confidence?

21. Listening to music has long been thought to enhance intelligence, especially during infancy and childhood. To test whether this is true, a researcher records the number of hours that eight high-performing students listened to music per day for 1 week. The data are listed in the table. Music listening per day (in hours) 4.2 4.8 5.0 3.8 4.2 5.5 4.1 4.4 1. Find the confidence limits at a 95% CI for this sample. 2. Suppose the null hypothesis states that students listen to 3.5 hours of music per day. What would the decision be for a two-tailed hypothesis test at a 0.05 level of significance?
