A simple random sample of 12 reaction times of helicopter pilots is selected. The reaction times have a normal distribution. The sample mean is 1.67 sec with a standard deviation of 0.16 sec. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population standard deviation.

1.	0.11 < σ < 0.23
2.	0.01 < σ < 0.05
3.	0.12 < σ < 0.25
4.	0.13 < σ < 0.22

Solution :

Given that,

s = 0.16

s² = 0.0256

²_L = ²_/2,df = 19.675

²_R = ²_{1 -} _/2,df = 4.575

The 90% confidence interval for is,

(n - 1)s² / ²_/2 < < (n - 1)s² / ²_{1 -} _/2

12 * 0.0256 / 19.675 < < 12 * 0.0256 / 4.575

0.12 < < 0.25

A simple random sample of 101 cities and counties in the United States was selected and the number of positive COVID-19 cases per 1000 citizens was recorded for each. The mean number of positive cases for this sample of 101 counties and cities was 253, with a standard deviation of 11.4. Due to a couple of cities with extremely high numbers of cases the distribution is skewed heavily to the right. If appropriate, use this information to calculate and interpret...

(a). A simple random sample of 37 days was selected. For these 37 days, Parsnip was fed seeds on 22 days and Parsnip was fed pellets on the other 15 days. The goal is to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all days in which Parsnip was fed seeds, and to do so there are two assumptions. The first is that there is a simple random sample, which is satisfied. What is the second assumption, and specific...

A researcher has found that pilots taking an over the counter antihistamine have poor reaction times. They performed an experiment on 22 pilots: 11 took the medication and 11 did not. Their reaction times to a command by Air Traffic Control was considered to be adequate or inadequate. Among those taking the medication, 8 were rated inadequate and 3 adequate. Among those not-taking the medication, 10 were rated adequate and only 1 inadequate. Construct a contingency table. Run the Chi-Square...
