A computer scientist is investigating the usefulness of twodifferent design languages in improving programming tasks. Twelve expert programmers, familiar with both languages, are askedto code to code a standard function in both languages, and asked tocode a standard function in both languages, and time (in minutes)is recorded. The data follow: Programmer123456789101112Design Language 1 Design Language 217152115182417142123Time1318181419112221101319241520 (a) Is the assumption that the difference in coding time is normally distributed reasonable?(b) Find a 95% confidence interval on the difference in mean coding times.

According to Dietary Goals for the US (1977), high sodium intake may be related to ulcers, stomach cancer, and migrane headaches. The human requirement for salt is less than 220 milligrams per day, which is surpassed in most single servings of ready-to-eat noodles. If a random sample of 9 similar servings of noodles has a mean sodium content of 235 milligrams and a standard deviation of 5.3. What is the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval of the mean sodium content of the noodles being investigated? Note: Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

In a study of academic procrastination, the authors of a paper reported that for a sample of 431 undergraduate students at a midsize public university preparing for a final exam in an introductory psychology course, the mean time spent studying for the exam was 7.54 hours and the standard deviation of study times was 3.90 hours. For purposes of this exercise, assume that it is reasonable to regard this sample as representative of students taking introductory psychology at this university. (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate ?, the mean time spent studying for the final exam for students taking introductory psychology at this university. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)( , )(b) The paper also gave the following sample statistics for the percentage of study time that occurred in the 24 hours prior to the exam. n = 431 x = 43.88 s = 21.66 Construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean percentage of study time that occurs in the 24 hours prior…
In a sample of 40 water specimens taken from a construction site 26 contained detectable level of lead. An 80% confidence interval for the proportion of water specimens that contains detectable levels of lead is
What is the rejection region for the test (at a=0.05)? concludes that the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the mean user maintenance cost does vary among the three state installations. Would we be able to know which two state installations vary? Briefly explain. How can we find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean cost in Texas and the mean cost in Kentucky? If Texas was chosen as base level and a similar model was fit to the data, what would be the value of the estimated intercept?
The psychologist claim that obese people participating in her psychotherapy programme will have an average weight loss more than 20.5 kilograms. Test the psychologist claim at a 1% level of significance rounded off to two decimals. Calculate and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean weight loss of the population of obese people following the programme rounded off to two decimals.
In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, restaurant a had 346 accurate orders and 61 that were not accurate. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of orders that are not accurate. Compare the results from part A to this 90% confidence interval for the percentage of orders that are not accurate at restaurant B: 0.132< P < 0.189. What do you conclude?
ASAP!! In order to investigate the relationship between mean job tenure in years among workers who have a bachelor’s degree or higher and those who do not, random samples of each type of worker were taken, with the results in Table 1. Sample size () Sample mean ( ) Sample standard deviation () Bachelor’s degree or higher 155 5.2 1.3 No degree 210 5.0 1.5 Table 1 Construct the 99% confidence interval for the difference in the population means based on Table 1. Test, at the 1% level of significance, the claim that mean job tenure among those with a bachelor’s degree or higher is greater than among those without, against the default that there is no difference in the means.
