The monthly advertising expenditure of the company is normally distributed with a standard deviation of $200. If a sample of 36 randomly selected months yields a mean advertising expenditure of $1360 monthly, what is a 94% confidence interval for the mean of the company’s monthly advertising expenditure?

Suppose we want a 99% confidence interval for the average amount spent on books by freshmen in their first year at college. The amount spent has a normal distribution with standard deviation $31. How large should the sample be if the margin of error is to be less than $3?
.A study of 100 patients with back pain reported that the mean duration of pain was 12 months. It is known that the standard deviation of duration of back pain is 6.8 months. Assuming that the duration of this problem is normally distributed in the population; determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean duration of back pain in the population.
20 TV remote controls were followed over the years to find the mean lifespan of this model. The sample gave a mean of 7.2 years, and the standard deviation of 0.6 years. The distribution of the population is unknown. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean lifespan of these remote controls.

An experiment was conducted on rodents to determine if the drug Haldol influenced the amount of "rough play." Five groups were included in the experiment. Subsequent behavior in terms of mean "rough play" behaviors was recorded. The output and box plot below, display the mean differences from baseline (i.e., after the drug was administered compared to before drug administration). What are the null and alternative hypotheses of this test? Summary of Roughplay differences Scd. Dev.

A polling organization reported data from a survey of 2000 randomly selected Canadians who carry debit cards. Participants in this survey were asked what they considered the minimum purchase amount for which it would be acceptable to use a debit card. Suppose that the sample mean and standard deviation were $9.14 and $7.70, respectively. (These values are consistent with a histogram of the sample data that appears in the report.)Do these data provide convincing evidence that the mean minimum purchase amount for which Canadians consider the use of a debit card to be appropriate is less than $10? Carry out a hypothesis test with a significance level of 0.01. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) t = P-value = State your conclusion. Reject H0. We do not have convincing evidence that the mean minimum purchase amount for which Canadians consider it…
In a school district, all sixth grade students take the same standardized test. The superintendant of the school district takes a random sample of 30 scores from all of the students who took the test. She sees that the mean score is 169 with a standard deviation of 7.0674. The superintendant wants to know if the standard deviation has changed this year. Previously, the population standard deviation was 13. Is there evidence that the standard deviation of test scores has decreased at the α=0.005 level? Assume the population is normally distributed. Step 4: Make a decision. Is it reject Null hypothesis or Fail to reject Null hypothesis? Step 5: What is the conclusion? Is there sufficient evidence or there is not sufficient evidence to show that the standard deviation of the test scores has decreased?
The National Coalition on Healthcare suggests that the mean annual premium that a health insurer charges an employer for a health plan covering a family of four averaged $13,000 in 2009. A sample of 30 families of four yields a mean annual premium paid by their employer to be $13,500 with a sample standard deviation of $300. We are interested in whether the mean annual premium that a health insurer charges an employer for a health plan covering a family of four is different from $13,000 using a significance level of 0.10. Select one: a. tdata = 9.129, do not reject Ho. b. tdata = 9.129, reject Ho. c. tdata = -9.129, do not reject Ho. O d. tdata = 4.156, reject Ho.
Suppose a survey of a random sample of 100 smokers, conducted by the Department of Health, suggests that the mean number of cigarettes a person smokes in a day in Smokelandia (Y) is 2.72 and the standard deviation (sy) is 0.58. The Department of Health is concerned about the results of the survey and wants to test whether the mean number of cigarettes a person smokes in a day is 2.51 or not. The test statistic associated with the above test is 3.6204 (Round your answer to two decimal places.) If the Department of Health uses a 5% significance level, the test statistic suggests that we the hypothesis that the mean number of cigarettes a person smokes in a day is 2.51. Suppose the Department of Health decides to reject the null hypothesis (H,) if |Y- 2.51|>0.08. The size of the above test is (Round your answer to two decimal places.) If u = 2.69, the power of the above test is (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of bone strength. Studies show that BMD declines after age 45. The impact of exercise may increase BMD. A random sample of 59 women between the ages of 41 and 45 with no major health problems were studied. The women were classified into one of two groups based upon their level of exercise activity: walking women and sedentary women. The 39 women who walked regularly had a mean BMD of 5.96 with a standard deviation of 1.22. The 20 women who are sedentary had a mean BMD of 4.41 with a standard deviation of 1.02. Which of the following inference procedures could be used to estimate the difference in the mean BMD for these two types of women
