Researchers in the corporate office of an airline wonder if
there is a significant difference between the cost of a flight on
Priceline.com vs. the airline's own website. A random sample of 20
flights were tracked on Priceline and the airline's website and the
average difference between the vendors was $4.294 with a standard
deviation of $5.3109. The 99% confidence paired-t interval for
price (Priceline - Airline Site) was (0.8965, 7.6915). Which of the
following is the appropriate interpretation?
Question 4 options:
|
1)
|
The proportion of all flights that had a difference in price
between the two vendors is 99%. |
|
|
2)
|
We are 99% confident that the average difference in the prices
of the flights sampled is between 0.8965 and 7.6915. |
|
|
3)
|
We are certain the average difference in prices between the two
vendors for all flights is between 0.8965 and 7.6915. |

We are 99% confident that the difference between the average
price on Priceline and the average price on the airline's website
is between 0.8965 and 7.6915. |

Professors in the Economics Department at Western want to
determine how challenging the program was for students. Out of a
random sample of 18 students, 13 indicated that the program was
either "challenging" or "very challenging". The 90% confidence
interval estimating the proprotion of all students in the
department who thought the program was challenging is given by
which of the following?
