(a). A simple random sample of 37 days was selected. For these 37 days, Parsnip was fed seeds on 20 days and Parsnip was fed pellets on the other 17 days. The goal is to calculate a 95% 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 to the information in this problem, is it satisfied? Explain why or why not.

(b). If appropriate, use the data in part (a) to calculate and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all days in his life that Parsnip has been fed seeds.

(c) Is the proportion of all days in his life that Parsnip has been fed seeds in the confidence interval computed in question

A simple random sample of 300 colleges and universities was selected and for each it was determined whether they planned to move summer 2020 classes online or not. Of the 300 colleges and universities in the sample, 90 responded that they will move summer 2020 classes online , and 210 responded that they will not move summer 2020 classes online. .

A simple random sample of germination times (in days) for 7 seeds of a new strain of snap beans has a sample mean of 15.57 and standard deviation of 3.21. (a) Determine a 99% confidence interval for the true mean germination time for this strain. (b) Choose a correct interpretation to your result in part (a): i. We can be 99% sure the sample average of 7 germination times is in the interval calculated in part (a). ii. We can...

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 simple random sample of 80 colleges and universities is selected, and 16 indicated will move their summer 2020 classes online while the other 64 indicated they did not plan to move their summer 2020 classes online . If appropriate, use this information to test the hypotheses stated in question 10 at the a = .10 level of significance. Please type your answer in the box below. Hypothesis: H0:   π = 0.14 versus HA: π > 0.14

A simple random sample of 25 ball bearings is selected. The mean diameter of the ball bearings is 3mm with a standard deviation of 0.05mm. Previous investigations suggest that the diameters measures are normally distributed. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the diameters of the ball bearings in this population. Explain how you found your answer.
