Suppose that a sample of 15 women had a mean heart rate of 73.93 and a sample standard deviation of 8.42. Assume that the distribution of women’s heart rates is normal. Use this data to answer the following:
a.) Construct the lower bound for a 99% confidence interval for the population mean heart rate of all women. Round answers to the hundredth.
b.) Construct the upper bound for a 99% confidence interval for the population mean heart rate of all women. Round answers to the hundredth.
c.) You just constructed a 99% confidence interval for the population mean heart rate of all women. If we left the confidence level the same, what would happen to the width of the interval if we increased the sample size to 100 women?
d.) You just constructed a 99% confidence interval for the population mean heart rate of all women. The American Medical Association claims the average heart rate for women is 69 bpm. Does your interval support or contradict this claim?

The urinary fluoride concentration (parts per million) was measured both for a sample of livestock grazing in an area previously exposed to fluoride pollution and for a similar sample grazing in an unpolluted region:
Polluted. 21.3. 18.7 23.0. 17.1. 16.8. 20.9. 19.7
Unpolluted. 14.2. 18.3. 17.2. 18.4. 20.0

The average life of a certain type of motor is 10 years with a standard deviation of 2 years. You are interested in measuring the life time of this motor by conducting a survey asking customers’ experiences. Use this information and answer Question 4a to 4h.
Question 4a: What is the probability distribution of the life time of the motor, X?
Question 4b: In the first week, you were able to obtain 25 survey responses on the life of the motor you are studying. What is distribution of the average life of the motor, X ¯?
Question 4c: After a month-long survey, you collected 367 responses. What would be the expected value of the average life time of the motor using the survey responses?
Question 4d: After a month-long survey, you collect 367 responses. What is the probability that the average life time of the motor is greater than 10 years and 3 months? (Use four decimal places)
Question 4e: After a month-long survey, you collect 146 responses and find that the average life of the motor is 10.02 years. What is the upper limit of a two-sided 95% confidence interval of the true average life of the motor? (Use four decimal places)

Birth weight and gestational age. The Child Health and Development Studies considered pregnancies among women in the San Francisco East Bay area. Researchers took a random sample of 50 pregnancies and used statistical software to construct a linear regression model to predict a baby's birth weight in ounces using the gestation age (the number of days the mother was pregnant). A portion of the computer output and the scatter plot is shown below. Round all calculated results to four decimal places.
Coefficients | Estimate | Std. Error | t value | Pr(>|t|) |
Intercept | -68.5476 | 37.1411 | -1.8456 | 0.0711 |
gestation | 0.6716 | 0.135 | 4.9762 | 0 |

Residual standard error: 16.6653 on 48 degrees of freedom |
Multiple R-squared: 0.3403, Adjusted R-squared: 0.3266 |

Birth weight = + * gestation
2. Using the estimated regression equation, what is the predicted birth weight for a baby with a length of gestation of 283 days?
3. The recorded birth weight for a baby with a gestation of 283 days was 125 ounces. Complete the following sentence:
The residual for this baby is . This means the birth weight for this baby is ? higher than the same as lower than the birth weight predicted by the regression model.
4. Complete the following sentence:
