You intend to estimate a population mean with a confidence interval. You believe the population to have a normal distribution. Your sample size is 11. Find the critical value that corresponds to a confidence level of 80%. (Report answer accurate to three decimal places with appropriate rounding.) ta/2 = ±±

Our environment is very sensitive to the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere. The level of ozone normally found is 4.7 parts/million (ppm). A researcher believes that the current ozone level is not at the normal level. The mean of 13 samples is 4.9 ppm with a standard deviation of 1.0. Does the data support the claim at the 0.1 level? Assume the population distribution is approximately normal. Step 3 of 3: Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
The scores on a college entrance test have an approximately normal distribution with mean, µ = 84 points and a standard deviation, σ = 5 points. About 68% of the x values lie between what two values?
The mean is 146 and the standard deviation is 35. A score of 41 is how many z-scores below the mean?
Please give a detailed explanation, not just the answer. Thanks in advance! The average American consumes 91 liters of alcohol per year. Does the average college student consume a different amount of alcohol per year? A researcher surveyed 10 randomly selected college students and found that they averaged 72.8 liters of alcohol consumed per year with a standard deviation of 20 liters. What can be concluded at the α = 0.01 level of significance? The test statistic ? z t = (please show your answer to 3 decimal places.) The p-value = (Please show your answer to 4 decimal places.) The p-value is ? > ≤ α
A single question with sub-parts. Please answer all parts. I appreciate it :(
The life of a butterfly is normally distributed with a mean of 50 days. You took a random sample of 25 such butterflies. The mean life for this sample is 47 days a standard deviation of 3 days. At α = 0.05. a. Test to see if the average life of a butterfly is different from 50 days. b. Your friend believes that the life of a butterfly is less than 50 days. Is she correct?
You are a researcher studying the lifespan of a certain species of bacteria. A preliminary sample of 35 bacteria reveals a sample mean of ¯x=76x¯=76 hours. The population standard deviation is known to be 5.6 hours. You would like to estimate the mean lifespan for this species of bacteria to within a margin of error of 0.4 hours at a 90% level of confidence. How many more bacteria should you sample to achieve a 0.4 hour margin of error? n = bacteria
A standardized test is given to a sixth-grade class. Historically the mean score has been 151 with a standard deviation of 21. The superintendent believes that the standard deviation of performance may have recently decreased. She randomly sampled 23 students and found a mean of 161 with a standard deviation of 18.2898. Is there evidence that the standard deviation has decreased at the α=0.05 level? Step 1 of 5 : State of the hypotheses in terms of the standard deviation. Round the standard deviation to four decimal places when necessary Step 2 of 5 : Determine the critical value(s) of the test statistic. If the test is two-tailed, separate the values with a comma. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 3 of 5 : Determine the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places. Step 4 of 5 : Make the decision. Step 5 of 5 : What is the conclusion?
The scores for a standardized test follow a normal distribution with a mean test score x¯=84, and standard deviationσ=6. What percent of students score below 87? What percent of students score above 95? What percent of students score between 70 and 90? What percent of students score between 95 and 100? What score must a student get higher than to be in the top 10%?
Student Satisfaction sent from average to the 60th percentile (z score = .2533). Dr. Reed wants to know the projected impact on test scores. All she knows is that Student Satisfaction and Student Test scores are correlated at .43 and the current average test score is 81% with a standard deviation of 5%. Show your work
