Give and interpret the 95% confidence intervals for males and a
second 95% confidence interval for females on the SLEEP variable.
Which is wider and why?
Known values for Male and Female:
Males: Sample Size = 17; Sample Mean = 7.765;
Standard Deviation = 1.855
Females: Sample Size = 18; Sample Mean = 7.667;
Standard Deviation = 1.879
Using t-distribution considering sample sizes (Male/Female
count) are less than 30
calculate the range for the expected true mean temperature with
95% confidence (2-sided confidence interval)
calculate the value the true mean temperature should be greater
than with 95% confidence (1-sided confidence interval)
What is the difference between these two problems?
what equation do I use?
True or False
1. A 95% confidence interval of {-.5, 3.5} means that, on 95% of
repeated experiments, the sample mean will be between -.5 and
3.5.
2. The probability of making a type-I error depends, in part, on
power.
3. In general,
4. According to the central limit theorem, the sample mean, , is
always normally distributed, even when population distribution of
x is not normal
Problem:
Construct and interpret a 90%, 95%, and 99% confidence interval for
the mean heights of either adult females or the average height of
adult males living in America. Do not mix genders in your sample as
this will skew your results. Gather a random sample of size 30 of
heights from your friends, family, church members, strangers, etc.
by asking each individual in your sample his or her height. From
your raw data convert individual heights to inches....
Construct a 95% confidence interval for the standard
deviation for both companies. Interpret and compare the
results. Company 1: S=1.38, n=36, mean=11.42. Company 2: S=55.27,
n=36, mean=282.86
For the data set below, calculate r, r

Then write a one- to two-sentence conclusion statement that
includes whether the null hypothesis was rejected or not. Assume a
two-tailed hypothesis and α = .05.

Refer to Table 2.9. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the population (a) odds ratio, (b) difference of proportions, and (c) relative risk between seat-belt use and type of injury.
This is a question regarding Statistics.
Calculate and interpret a confidence interval for a population
mean. given a normal distribution with 1) a known variance2) an
unknown population variance
or 3) an unknown variance and a large sample size
when sampling from a normal distribution, why test statistic
no matter small(n<30) or large(n>=30) we choose
z-statistic?(please give an example)
Thanks
Refer to Exhibit 8-1. If the sample mean is 9 hours, then the
95% confidence interval is approximately
Exhibit 8-1: In order to estimate the average time spent on the
computer terminals per student at a local university, data were
collected from a sample of 81 business students over a one-week
period. Assume the population standard deviation is 1.2 hours.
a. 7.04 to 110.96 hours
b. 7.36 to 10.64 hours
c. 7.80 to 10.20 hours
d. 8.74 to 9.26 hours
