The owner of a local golf course wants to determine the average age of the golfers that play on the course in relation to the average age in the area. According to the most recent census, the town has an average age of 63.248. In a random sample of 28 golfers that visited his course, the sample mean was 48.356 and the standard deviation was 6.8424. Using this information, the owner calculated the confidence interval of (45.703, 51.009) with a confidence level of 95%. Which of the following statements is the best conclusion?
Question 10 options:
1) The percentage of golfers with an age greater than 63.248 is 95%.
2) The average age of all golfers does not significantly differ from 63.248.
3) We are 95% confident that the average age of all golfers that play on the golf course is less than 63.248
4) We are 95% confident that the average age of all golfers that play on the golf course is greater than 63.248
5) We cannot determine the proper interpretation based on the information given.

Question 5 (1 point)
The owner of a local golf course wants to determine the average
age of the golfers that play on the course in relation to the
average age in the area. According to the most recent census, the
town has an average age of 48.93. In a random sample of 24 golfers
that visited his course, the sample mean was 48.1 and the standard
deviation was 5.999. Using this information, the owner calculated
the confidence interval of...

The owner of a local golf course wants to examine the difference
between the average ages of males and females that play on the golf
course. Specifically, he wants to test if the average age of males
is greater than the average age of females. If the owner conducts a
hypothesis test for two independent samples and calculates a
p-value of 0.5441, what is the appropriate conclusion? Label males
as group 1 and females as group 2.

The owner of a local supermarket wants to estimate the
difference between the average number of gallons of milk sold per
day on weekdays and weekends. The owner samples 8 weekdays and
finds an average of 218.91 gallons of milk sold on those days with
a standard deviation of 33.376. 10 (total) Saturdays and Sundays
are sampled and the average number of gallons sold is 377.74 with a
standard deviation of 49.365. Construct a 99% confidence interval
to estimate the...
The owner of a factory wants to determine a confidence interval for the average wages at...
The owner of a factory wants to determine a confidence interval
for the average wages at his factory. The population average wages
is unknown. However, the owner was able to take a random sample of
64 workers. He found that the average salary for this sample of
workers is $50,000. The population standard deviation is $3000. He
calculated a 99% confidence interval for the population average
wages at the factory. Which of the following choices is correct?
Assume the distribution...

A researcher wants to determine whether there is a difference in
the average age of elementary school, high school, and community
college teachers. Teachers are randomly selected. Their ages are
recorded below. Can you reject the claim that there is no
difference in the average age of each group? Use 5% level of
significance.

Norb and Gary are entered in a local golf tournament. Both have
played the local course many times. Their scores are random
variables with the following means and standard deviations.
Norb, x1: μ1 = 115;
σ1 = 8
Gary, x2: μ2 = 100;
σ2 = 18
In the tournament, Norb and Gary are not playing together, and
we will assume their scores vary independently of each other.
(a) The difference between their scores is
W = x1 −
x2.

A local electronics firm wants to determine their average daily
sales (in dollars.) A sample of the sales for 36 days revealed an
average sales of $141,000. Assume that the standard deviation of
the population is known to be $12,000. Then, the
95% margin of error will be . . .
Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate for the true average
daily sales.
$137,080 to $144,920
$139,500 to $143,000
$132,800 to 139,200

The average score for male golfers is 87 and the average score
for female golfers is 102. Use these values as the population means
for men and women and assume that the population standard deviation
σ = 14 strokes for both. A simple random sample of 32 male golfers
and another simple random sample of 36 female golfers will be
taken.
a. Calculate the standard error of the mean for both male and
female golfers.
b. What is the probability...
