Sales personnel for Skillings Distributors submit weekly reports listing the customer contacts made during the week. A sample of 65 weekly reports showed a sample mean of 19.5 customer contacts per week. The sample standard deviation was 5.2. Provide 90% and 95% confidence intervals for the population mean number of weekly customer contacts for the sales personnel.
90% Confidence interval, to 2 decimals:
( , )
95% Confidence interval, to 2 decimals:
A simple random sample of 40 items resulted in a sample mean of 25. The population standard deviation is 5.
a. What is the standard error of the mean (to 2 decimals)?
b. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error (to 2 decimals)?
mean trough level of the population to be 3.7 micrograms/mL. The researcher conducts a study among 93 newly diagnosed arthritis patients and finds the mean trough to be 4.1 micrograms/mL with a standard deviation of 2.4 micrograms/mL. The researcher wants to test at the 5% level of significance if the trough is different than previously reported or not. Z statistics will be used.
Complete Step 5 of hypothesis testing: Conclusion. State whether or not you would reject the null hypothesis and why. Also interpret what this means (i.e. is the mean trough different from 3.7 or no
