The amount of television viewed by today's youth is of primary concern to a certain organization. Three hundred parents of elementary school-aged children were asked to estimate the number of hours per week that their child watched television. The mean and the standard deviation for their responses were 13 and 4, respectively. The organization constructed a stem-and-leaf display for the data that showed that the distribution of times was a bell shaped distribution. Give an interval around the mean where most (approximately 95%) of the television viewing times fell in the distribution. O A. between 1 and 25 hours per week O B. between 9 and 17 hours per week O C. less than 9 and more than 17 hours per week O D. between 5 and 21 hours per week

In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.In the following data pairs, A represents the cost of living index for housing and B represents the cost of living index for groceries. The data are paired by metropolitan areas in the United States. A random sample of 36 metropolitan areas gave the following information.

A sample of 134 motels is selected from a large urban area and the price for a night of lodging for a single room was determined for each motel. The mean rate is computed to be $87 and the standard deviation is $14. One motel charged $57 per night which is the 13th percentile. Another motel charged $118 per night which is the 75th percentile. Step 2 of 4 : One of the motels was 0.9 standard deviations above the mean, what is the price of a single room at the motel? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Mean = 10 pounds, standard deviation = 0 pounds. B. Mean = 10 pounds, standard deviation = 2 pounds. C. Mean = 10 pounds, standard deviation = 10 pounds. D. Mean = 2 pounds, standard deviation = 10 pounds.
The average McDonald's restaurant generates $3.1 million in sales each year with a standard deviation of 0.4. Micah wants to know if the average sales generated by McDonald's restaurants in Maryland is different than the worldwide average. He surveys 19 restaurants in Maryland and finds the following data (in millions of dollars):2.8, 3.2, 3.8, 4.2, 3.5, 3.2, 3.6, 3.2, 2.7, 3.1, 2.5, 3.2, 3.7, 3.5, 3.9, 3.9, 2.5, 2.9, 2.8Perform a hypothesis test using a 9% level of significance.Step 1: State the null and alternative hypotheses.H0:H0: Ha:Ha: (So we will be performing a test.)Step 2: Assuming the null hypothesis is true, determine the features of the distribution of point estimates using the Central Limit Theorem.By the Central Limit Theorem, we know that the point estimates are with distribution mean and distribution standard deviation .Step 3: Find the pp-value of the point estimate.P(P( )=P()=P( )=)=pp-value==Step 4: Make a Conclusion…

According to a health foundation survey from 2018 and 2016, the average annual premiums for employer-sponsored health insurance for family coverage was $16,834 in 2018 and $15,745 in 2016. Suppose the survey for 2018, was based on 250 employees who had employer-sponsored health insurance and the survey for 2016 was based on 200 employees who had employer-sponsored health insurance. Assume the population standard deviation for 2018 and 2016 were $2160 and $1990; respectively. Find a 97% confidence interval for the mean difference.
