You want to compare the average number of tines on the antlers of male deer in two nearby metro parks. A sample of 30 deer from the first park shows an average of 5 tines with a population standard deviation of 3. A sample of 35 deer from the second park shows an average of 6 tines with a population standard deviation of 3.2. Find a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference in average number of tines for all male deer in the two metro parks (second park minus first park).Do the parks’ deer populations differ in average size of deer antlers?

The mean number of english courses taken in two-year time period by male and female college students is believed to be about the same. An experiment is conducted and data are collected from 29 males and 16 females. The males took an average of 3 english courses with a standard deviation of 0.8. The females took an average of four english courses with a standard deviation of 1.0. Are the means statistically the same?
The mean noise level of 19 randomly selected areas designated as emergency rooms was 63.1 dBA and the sample standard deviation is 5.0 dBA. The mean noise level for 24 randomly selected areas designated as operating theaters was 56.3 dBA and the sample standard deviation was 7.0 dBA. An engineer reported a confidence interval of (1.8454, 11.409) for the difference in the mean noise level between areas designated as emergency rooms and areas designated for operating theaters, but neglected to specify the significance level. Estimate the significance level of the confidence interval if the population standard deviations, 01 and oz of the two populations are unknown and unequal. At the estimated significance level, could it be concluded that there is a difference in the means?
A study of 40 men on probation showed that their average number of days remained stayed on probation was 186. The standard deviation of the population is 6. Find the 95% confidence interval of the mean number of days men remained on probation. Find the 95% confidence interval of the mean number of days men remained on probation if a sample of 100 probationers is used instead of a sample of 40. Which interval is smaller? Explain why.
