If you periodically collect samples of 25 undergraduates, how much will the sample mean vary from one sample to the next?
Suppose we wanted to estimate the mean room rate for luxury hotels in the Northeast. Assume that the standard deviation for room rates is $35 and that we want a 95% confidence interval. What is the smallest sample size should we choose if we want a margin of error for our interval of no more than $10? Type your answer here
You are a researcher studying a certain species of fish in a local lake. You gather a random sample of 19 fish of this species and record the lengths (in centimeters) of the fish. The data is displayed in the table below. Estimate the mean length of all fish of this type in the lake.

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.

The height of women ages 20-29 is normally distributed, with a mean of 63.8 inches. Assume o = 2.8 inches. Are you more likely to randomly select 1 woman with a height less than 65.2 inches or are you more likely to select a sample of 23 women with a mean height less than 65.2 inches? Explain. Click the icon to view page 1 of the standard normal table. Click the icon to view page 2 of the standard normal table. What is the probability of randomly selecting 1 woman with a height less than 65.2 inches? (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
You work for a soft-drink company in the quality control division. You are interested in the standard deviation of one of your production lines as a measure of consistency. The product is intended to have a mean of 12 ounces, and your team would like the standard deviation to be as low as possible. You gather a random sample of 18 containers. Estimate the population standard deviation at a 98% level of confidence. 11.98 11.99 11.96 12.09 11.79 11.96 11.87 12.1 12.16 12.03 12.04 12.11 12.12 12.15 11.95 12.23 11.95 12.12 (Data checksum: 216.6) Note: Keep as many decimals as possible while making these calculations.

A machine makes catheters for use in heart tests. The machine is designed so that the mean diameter of the catheter it makes can change but the standard deviation can't. The population standard deviation is .05 mm. Right now the machine is supposed to be making catheters with a mean diameter of 2 mm. During production an inspector checks the diameter of catheters to see if the machine has slipped out of the adjustment. A random sample of 50 catheters is taken. If the mean diameter for the sample is 2.04 mm, does this indicate the machine has slipped out of adjustment and the population average diameter of the catheter is no longer 2mm. The best test to use in this situation is a
