The director of the rabies control section in a city health department wishes to draw a sample from the department's records of dog bites reported during the past year in order to estimate the mean age of persons bitten. He wants a 95 percent confidence interval, he will be satisfied to let E = 2.5, and from previous studies he estimates the population standard deviation to be about 15 years. How large a sample should be drawn?
A 30 month study is conducted to determine the difference in rates of accidents per month between two departments in an assembly plant. If a sample of 12 from the first department averaged 12.3 accidents per month with a standard deviation of 3.5, and a sample of 9 from the second department averaged 7.6 accidents per month with standard deviation of 3.4, find: The t-value for a 95% confidence interval is: A. 2.09302 B. 1.724718 C. 2.08596 D. 1.729133 E. none of the preceding
(c) An epidemiologist is worried about the ever increasing trend of malaria in a certain locality and wants to estimate the proportion of people infected in the peak malaria transmission period. If he takes a random sample of 150 people in that locality during the peak transmission period and finds that 60 of them are positive for malaria, find i. 99% confidence interval for the proportion of the whole infected people in that locality during the peak malaria transmission period.
The bottlers of a new fruit juice daily select a random sample of 12 bottles of the drink to estimate the mean quantity of juice in the bottles filled that day. On one such day, a sample was taken with a sample mean of 12.03 and a sample standard deviation of 0.12. Based on this information, what is the margin of error associated with a 90% confidence interval estimate for the population mean, if the population standard deviation has historically been 0.07? 0.020 0.070 0.040 0.033
In a study of parasite–host relationships, 242 larvaeof the moth Ephestia were exposed to parasitization by the Ichneumon fly. The following table shows the number of Ichneumon eggs found in each of the Ephestia larva. For these data, yQ = 2.368 and s = 1.950. Student’s tmethod yields the following 95% confidence interval form, the population mean number of eggs per larva: 2.12 < μ < 2.61 (a) Does it appear reasonable to assume that thepopulation distribution of Y is approximately normal?Explain.(b) In view of your answer to part (a), on what groundscan you defend the application of Student’s t methodto these data?
Suppose the heights of a population of male giraffes are normally distributed with an unknown population mean and a population standard deviation of 3.4 feet. A random sample of male giraffes from the population produces a sample mean height of x¯=15.2 feet.

A random sample of 12 hollyhock plants grown from the seed in a particular packet wastaken, and the height of each plant was measured, in m. The results are summarized by∑ ?ᵢ = 28.43, ∑ ?ᵢ² = 88.4704.Making a suitable assumption about the distribution of heights, which should be stated, find a90% confidence interval of the form of(?, ?), for the mean height of hollyhock plants grownfrom that packet.
A random sample of size n1=23, taken from a normal population with a standard deviation σ1=5, has a mean x1=77. A second random sample of size n2=37, taken from a different normal population with a standard deviation σ2=3, has a mean x2=38. Find a 96% confidence interval for μ1−μ2.
A random sample of 16 adult male wolves from the Canadian Northwest Territories gave an average weight x1 = 97 lb with estimated sample standard deviation s1 = 6.3 lb. Another sample of 22 adult male wolves from Alaska gave an average weight x2 = 88 lb with estimated sample standard deviation s2 = 7.1 lb. (a) Let ?1 represent the population mean weight of adult male wolves from the Northwest Territories, and let ?2 represent the population mean weight of adult male wolves from Alaska. Find a 75% confidence interval for ?1 – ?2. (Round your answers to one decimal place.) lower limit upper limit (b) Examine the confidence interval and explain what it means in the context of this problem. Does the interval consist of numbers that are all positive? all negative? of different signs? At the 75% level of confidence, does it appear that the average weight of adult male wolves from the Northwest Territories is greater than that of the Alaska wolves? Because the interval…
