Question 5

Part A In order to estimate the mean length of a great white shark. A researcher is only able to gather a sample of three great white sharks, but knows that the lengths of great white sharks is normally distributed. The three sharks have lengths of 24, 20 and 22 feet. Find the 99% confidence interval for the mean length of a great white shark. Round to two decimal places.

Group of answer choices

A) (17.03, 26.97)

B) (10.54, 33.46)

C) (19.74, 24.26)

D) (9.74, 34.99)

E) (20.01, 23.90)

Part B

Interpret your confidence interval from the previous problem about great white sharks in a sentence.

One of the most feared predators in the ocean is the great white shark. Although it is known that the great white shark grows to a mean length of 21 feet, a marine biologist believes that great white sharks off the Bermuda coast grow much longer because of unusual feeding habits. To test this claim, researchers plan to capture a number of full-grown great white sharks off the Bermuda coast, measure them, and set them free. However, because capturing sharks...

It is known that white sharks grow to a mean length of 18.9 feet. A marine biologist claims that the great white sharks off the coast of Bermuda grow much longer. Thirteen great white sharks are captured, measured, and released off of Bermuda’s coast. The mean length is 19.66 feet and the standard deviation is 2.6 feet. Does the data provide sufficient evidence at the .05 level of significance to support the biologist’s claim?

a hospital administrator wants to estimate the mean length of stay for all inpatients in the hospital. Based on a random sample of 676 patients from the previous year, she finds that the sample mean is 5.3 days with a standard deviation of 1.2 days. Construct and interpret a 95% and a 99% confidence interval for the mean.
