For each scenario write the letter for what kind of hypothesis test or confidence interval is described. A. One sample z-test for a mean B. One sample t-test for a mean C. Matched pairs difference in means D. Two sample t-test for means independent E. One sample z-test for a proportion F. Two sample z-test for p1-p2 G. None of the above i. _______ An anthropology major believes the distribution of homes per city from the Anasazi Indians is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 12 homes. A random sample of 10 Anasazi cities shows an average of 46 homes. He wants an 85% confidence interval for the true overall average.
For each scenario write the letter for what kind of hypothesis test or confidence interval is described.
A. One sample z-test for a mean
B. One sample t-test for a mean
C. Matched pairs difference in means
D. Two sample t-test for means independent
E. One sample z-test for a proportion
F. Two sample z-test for p1-p2
G. None of the above i.
Option A. An anthropology major believes the distribution of homes per city from the Anasazi Indians is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 12 homes. A random sample of 10 Anasazi cities shows an average of 46 homes. He wants an 85% confidence interval for the true overall average.
Note: Option A is correct. Since population standard deviation is known, Z distribution is used to find confidence interval for the true overall average
