Use the standard normal distribution or the t-distribution to construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. Justify your decision. If neither distribution can be used, explain why. Interpret the results. In a random sample of 43 people, the mean body mass index (BMI) was 27.7 and the standard deviation was 6.09. Which distribution should be used to construct the confidence interval? Choose the correct answer below. O A. Use a t-distribution because the sample is random, the population normal, and o is unknown. O B. Use a normal distribution because the sample is random, n2 30, and o is known. OC. Use a normal distribution because the sample is random, the population is normal, and o is known. O D. Use a t-distribution because the sample is random, n2 30, and o is unknown. O E. Neither normal distribution nor a t-distribution can be used because either the sample is not random, or n<30, and the population is not known to be normal.

Use the normal distribution to find a confidence interval for a proportion p given the relevant sample results. Give the best point estimate for p, the margin of error, and the confidence interval. Assume the results come from a random sample. A 90% confidence interval for p given that p = 0.9 and n 130. Round your answer for the point estimate to two decimal places, and your answers for the margin of error and the confidence interval to three decimal places. Point estimate = Margin of error = ± i The 90% confidence interval is i to i

To compute the confidence interval use a Correct distribution. b. With 90% confidence the population mean number of visits per physical therapy patient is between and visits. c. If many groups of 13 randomly selected physical therapy patients are studied, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of visits per patient and about percent will not contain the true population mean number of visits per
