Suppose you work for the Department of Environment and National Resources (DENR). You want to estimate, with 95% confidence, the mean length of all tilapia in a fish hatchery pond. You take a random sample of 10 tilapia and determine the average length is 10.5 inches and the sample standard deviation is 2.9 inches. Construct a confidence interval for this sample and interpret the result.
A marketing researcher wants to estimate the mean amount spent ($) on a certain retail website by members of the website's premium program. A random sample of 91 members of the website's premium program who recently made a purchase on the website yielded a mean of$1700 and a standard deviation of $200.

5. A researcher constructed a 95% confidence interval for the true mean number of years students take to earn a bachelor's degree. His results were (4.319, 4.841). a. What is the point estimate for the average number of years to complete a bachelor's degree? b.

A sports news station wanted to know whether people who live in the North or the South are bigger sports fans. For its study, 121 randomly selected Southerners were surveyed and found to watch a mean of 4.6 hours of sports per week. In the North, 176 randomly selected people were surveyed and found to watch a mean of 3.2 hours of sports per week. Find a 90% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean numbers of hours of sports watched per week for the two regions if the South has a population standard deviation of 1.6 hours per week and the North has a population standard deviation of 1.4 hours per week. Let Population 1 be people who live in the South and Population 2 be people who live in the North. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary. Lower endpoint: Upper endpoint:
