Tina catches a 14-pound bass. She does not know the population mean or standard deviation. So she takes a sample of five friends and they say the last bass they caught was 9, 12, 13, 10, and 10 pounds. Find the t and calculate a 95% (α = .05) confidence interval.
In the past, the mean age of consumers of a product was 38 years. Recently the product has been drastically changed. In order to determine whether there has been a change in the mean age of the product consumers, a sample of 16 consumers is selected. The mean age in the sample is 33 years and the standard deviation in the sample is 10 years. Let u = the mean age of the current product (Problem Set #7) consumers. The value of the test statistic is Oa. -2.00 O b.-1.60 OC .0.8 O d. 4.21

A statistics practitioner took a random sample of 54 observations from a population whose standard deviation is 29 and computed the sample mean to be 98. Note: For each confidence interval, enter your answer in the form (LCL, UCL). You must include the parentheses and the comma between the confidence limits. A. Estimate the population mean with 95% confidence. Confidence Interval = B. Estimate the population mean with 95% confidence, changing the population standard deviation to 43; Confidence Interval = C. Estimate the population mean with 95% confidence, changing the population standard deviation to 10; Confidence Interval =
B Choosing a topic Sk.. For data that is not normally distributed we can't use z-scores. However, there is an equation that works on any distribution. It's called Chebyshev's formula. The formula 1 where p is the minimum percentage of scores that fall within k k2 is p = 1 - standard deviations on both sides of the mean. Use this formula to answer the following questions. a) If you have scores and you don't know if they are normally distributed, find the minimum percentage of scores that fall within 2.2 standard deviations on both sides of the mean? b) If you have scores that are normally distributed, find the percentage of scores that fall within 2.2 standard deviations on both sides of the mean? c) If you have scores and you don't know if they are normally distributed, how many standard deviations on both sides of the mean do we need to go to have 64 percent of the scores? Note: To answer part c you will need to solve the equation for k.
Four students are instructed to calculate a confidence interval based on the same sample mean (xbar: 0.76) and the same sample standard deviation s. However, each student is given a different sample size and confidence level. The following are the intervals obtained by the four students. Which of the following must be incorrect? A. (0.09, 1.43) B. (-1.11, 2.89) C. (-0.57, 2.09) D. (-2.22, 3.74)
Determine if the following statements are true or false. a. Jane took a sample of n = 100 observations from a population with mean and standard deviation. Mike also took a sample of n = 200 observations from the same population. Then, Mike’s sample mean will be closer to the true population mean than Jane’s sample. b. Jane took a sample of n = 100 observations from a population with mean and standard deviation. Mike also took a sample of n = 200 observations from a population with mean and standard deviation 2. Then, the sample mean from Mike’s sample is more likely to be close to the true mean than the sample mean from Jane’s sample. That is, the probability that X is between 90% and 110% of mean is higher for Mike’s sample than for Jane’s sample.
Given the following information: My confidence intervals: 90% confidence interval = (2.33, 2.56), and 99% confidence interval = (2.26, 2.63) My peer's confidence intervals: 90% confidence interval at ( 2.37 , 2.61 ) and 99% confidence interval at ( 2.31 , 2.67). How do their confidence intervals compare with yours? If the population standard deviation is unknown and the sample size is not sufficiently large, would you still use the Normal distribution to calculate these confidence intervals, or would you choose another distribution? If the latter, which distribution would you choose?
