A group of 100 of the 2,500 students enrolled in a college in natural sciences reveals that 35 are 17 years old, 45 are 18 years old, 10 are 19 years old, 6 are 20 years old, three are 21 years old and one is 22 years old.
a)provide an estimate for the mean, variance and standard deviation for the Age of the group.
b) Find the confidence interval with a confidence bands of 90% , 95% , and 99% by approximating the sample as having been taken with replacement
c) Find the same confidence intervals as in b), but treat the sample as taken without replacement.

In 2010, 76.3% of college students enrolled in an education
major were female. A sample of students enrolled in an education
major in 2019 consisted of 115 females and 70 males.
Would this data be sufficient at the 0.01 level of significance to
conclude that the percentage of females enrolled in an education
major decreased from the 76.3%?

An admissions director wants to estimate the mean age of all
students enrolled at a college. The estimate must be within 1 years
of the population mean. Assume the population of ages is normally
distributed and the population standard deviation is 9.5 years.
Determine the minimum sample size required to construct a 80%
confidence interval for the population mean age. Determine the
minimum sample size required to construct a 95% confidence interval
for the population mean age. Which level of...

3. a. A sample of 38 students from a community college reveals
the average number of units they are taking is 11.5, with a
standard deviation of 1.4. Determine a 98% confidence interval for
the true mean. b. Assume now that the same results occurred from a
sample of size 9, but it was known that the original population was
normal. c. Repeat problem 3a, assuming that the standard deviation
was the real population standard deviation.

People in a random sample of 235 students enrolled at a liberal
arts college were asked questions about how many hours of sleep
they get each night. The sample mean sleep duration (average hours
of daily sleep) was 7.72 hours and the sample standard deviation
was 1.04 hours. The recommended number of hours of sleep for
college-age students is 8.4 hours. Is there convincing evidence
that the population mean sleep duration for students at this
college is less than the...

A college admissions director wishes to estimate the mean age of
all students currently enrolled. In a random sample of 81 students,
the mean age is found to be 20.51 years. From past studies, the
standard deviation of the population is known to be 2 years, and
the population is normally distributed. Construct a 99% confidence
interval of the population mean age. (Round off final answers to
two decimal places, if appropriate. Do not round off numbers taken
directly from...

A college admissions director wishes to estimate the mean age of
all students currently enrolled. In a random sample of 19 students,
the mean age is found to be 22.4 years. From past studies, the ages
of enrolled students are normally distributed with a standard
deviation of 9.5 years. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the
mean age of all students currently enrolled.
