Now change the 'Normal' choice to 'Exponential' This changes the underlying population from one that has a normal distribution to one that is very not normal. Change the sample size to 5 and run samples. a. How well do the 95% confidence intervals do at capturing the true population mean when samples sizes are small? b. Now change the sample size to 40 and run samples. Does a larger sample size mean that the intervals are more likely to capture the true population value? Why? Note THIS is an important concept and relates back to the Sampling Distribution of Sample Means and how the SDSM changes as sample size increases when the population is not normal.

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.
Suppose the population standard deviation is = 5, an SRS of n = 100 is obtained, and the confidence level is chosen to be 99.5%. The margin of error for estimating a mean is given by: a. 1.576. b. 1.165. c. 1.404. d. 1.223.
Beth wants to determine a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of high school students in the area who attend their home basketball games. How large of a sample must she have to get a margin of error less than 0.04? Assume we have no prior estimate of the proportion and want a conservative choice for the sample size. n =
a researcher wishes to develop an interval estimate for response scores on user surveys. She's not sure about the standard deviation, but in previous years the scores have ranged from 25 to 86. How large a sample should she draw if she wants to construct a 95% confidence interval level that will be within 3 points of the population mean score?
