You own a small storefront retail business and are interested in
determining the average amount of money a typical customer spends
per visit to your store. You take a random sample over the course
of a month for 11 customers and find that the average dollar amount
spent per transaction per customer is $114.645 with a standard
deviation of $18.2388. Create a 90% confidence interval for the
true average spent for all customers per transaction.

Question 7 (1 point)
You read an article in Golf Digest that someone with your
average drive distance will have an average score of 75.76. You
keep track of your scores for the next 13 rounds and see that your
average score is 83.11 with a standard deviation of 2.036 strokes.
You create a 95% confidence interval for your average score and it
is (81.88, 84.34). Given this information, what is the best
conclusion?
Question 7 options:
|
1)
|
The percentage of rounds in which you score more than 75.76 is
95%. |
|
|
2)
|
The average score does not significantly differ from
75.76. |
|
|
3)
|
We cannot determine the proper interpretation based on the
information given. |
|
|
4)
|
We are 95% confident that your average score is greater than
75.76. |
|
|
5)
|
We are 95% confident that your average score is less than
75.76. |

Question 8 (1 point)
It is believed that using a solid state drive (SSD) in a
computer results in faster boot times when compared to a computer
with a traditional hard disk (HDD). You sample a group of computers
and use the sample statistics to calculate a 99% confidence
interval of (3.05, 10.94). This interval estimates the difference
of (average boot time (HDD) - average boot time (SSD)). What can we
conclude from this interval?
Question 8 options:
|
1)
|
There is no significant difference between the average boot
time for a computer with an SSD drive and one with an HDD drive at
99% confidence. |
|
|
2)
|
We are 99% confident that the average boot time of all
computers with an SSD is greater than the average of all computers
with an HDD. |
|
|
3)
|
We are 99% confident that the difference between the two sample
means falls within the interval. |
|
|
4)
|
We do not have enough information to make a conclusion. |
|
|
5)
|
We are 99% confident that the average boot time of all
computers with an HDD is greater than the average of all computers
with an SSD. |

Question 9 (1 point)
The owner of a golf course wants to determine if his golf course
is more difficult than the one his friend owns. He has 11 golfers
play a round of 18 holes on his golf course and records their
scores. Later that week, he has the same 11 golfers play a round of
golf on his friend's course and records their scores again. The
average difference in the scores (treated as the scores on his
course - the scores on his friend's course) is 7.274 and the
standard deviation of the differences is 12.3106. Calculate a 95%
confidence interval to estimate the average difference in scores
between the two courses.
