In a population of interest, we find the standard deviation to be 25. We want to calculate the minimum required sample size using the 80% confidence level and a maximum allowable error of 3. What would the minimum allowable sample size need to be?

Using an α = 0.05, a confidence interval for a population proportion is determined to be 0.65 to 0.75. If the level of significance is decreased, the interval for the population proportion _____.
The law of large numbers states that as the number of observations drawn at random from a population with finite mean increases, the mean of the observed values: a. tends to get closer and closer to the population mean . b. gets smaller and smaller. c. gets larger and larger. d. fluctuates steadily between 1 standard deviation above and 1 standard deviation below the mean. I collect a random sample of size n from a population and compute a 95% confidence interval for the proportion I observe from the population. What could I do to produce a new confidence interval with a larger width (larger margin of error) based on these same data? a. I could use the same confidence level but compute the interval n times; approximately 5% of these intervals will be larger. b. Nothing can guarantee absolutely that I will get a larger interval; I can only say the chance of obtaining a larger interval is 0.05. c. I could use a smaller confidence…

A sample of 8 adult elephants had an average weight of 12,300 pounds. the standard deviation for the sample was 22 pounds. find the 95% confidence interval of the population mean for the weights of adult elephants. (the t distribution, table F, must be used for the confidence interval.)
Body Mass Index: In a survey of adults with diabetes, the average body mass index (BMI) in a sample of 1928 women was 31.30 with a standard deviation of 0.3. The BMI in a sample of 1559 men was 30.50, with a standard deviation of 0.6. Part 1 of 2 (a) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference in the mean BMI between women and men with diabetes. Let H, denote the mean BMI for women with diabetes. Use the TI-84 calculator and round the answers to two decimal places. A 99% confidence interval for the difference in the mean BMI between women and men with diabetes is Part: 1 / 2 Part 2 of 2 (b) Does the confidence interval contradict the claim that the mean BMI is the same for both men and women with diabetes? The confidence interval (Choose one) this claim.

Allen's hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) has been studied by zoologist Bill Alther.t Suppose a small group of 20 Allen's hummingbirds has been under study in Arizona. The average weight for these birds is x = 3.15 grams. Based on previous studies, we can assume that the weights of Allen's hummingbirds have a normal distribution, with o = 0.32 gram.
