3. (No computer output is accepted) A typical person in America has 155 friends in Facebook, 210 followers in Instagram and 155 followers in Twitter according to USA Tomorrow. A random sample of 30 people is selected and the following summary statistic are obtained. (Assume that the variables are normally distributed.)
Sample Mean for Facebook is 120.7
Sample Mean for İnstagram is 210.3.
Sample Mean for Twitter is 154.5
Sample Standard Deviation for Facebook is 5.2
Sample Standard Deviation for İnstagram is 7.85
Sample Standard Deviation for Twitter is 19
a) Construct a 99% two-sided confidence interval for the mean number of friends in Facebook for all people in America.
b) Construct a 99% two-sided confidence interval for mean number of followers in Instagram for all people in America.
c) Construct a 99% two-sided confidence interval for the mean number of followers in Twitter for all people in America.
d) Does this sample support the claim of USA Tomorrow? Explain your answer.
(Use 4 significant digits in your results. For example, if your
answer is 20/7, write 2.8571. Moreover, do not leave the solution
as 20/7. and show your answers in detail)

Question 1 of 8 According to recent statistics,
the average Facebook user has 225 Facebook friends. For a
statistics project a student at San Jose State College tests the
hypothesis that SJSU students will average more than 225 Facebook
friends. She randomly selects 3 classes from the schedule of
classes and distributes a survey in these classes. Her sample
contains 45 students. Here are the null and alternative hypotheses
for her study: H0: µ = 255, Ha: µ > 255....

3. Many members of social media outlets like Facebook lament the
fact that their friends use their Facebook page as a platform for
espousing their political beliefs. Given this context, a researcher
was interested to see if Facebook use varied based on an
individual’s political affiliation. Specifically, he wanted to know
if the average number of logins to Facebook per day varied among
the various political groups. To this end, he created a survey
where he asked people to indicate...

A 2014 Pew study found that the average US Facebook user has 338

200 friends. What does this imply about the distribution of the
variable "number of Facebook friends"? (You have two attempts for
this problem, and five attempts each for the remaining problems)
The distribution is normal The distribution is left skewed The

A 2014 Pew study found that the average US Facebook user has 338
friends. The study also found that the median US Facebook user has
200 friends. What does this imply about the distribution of the
variable "number of Facebook friends"?
The Pew study did not report a standard deviation, but given the
number of Facebook friends is highly variable, let's suppose that
the standard deviation is 200. Let's also suppose that 338 and 200
are population values (they aren't,...
