After interviewing 30 third-year students, it is found that the sample mean of their happiness index = 72, sample variance = 37. The 99% confidence interval of the population mean is therefore given by (choose the best answer below: a) Pr(66.3124≤μ≤78.4852)=99% b) Pr(73≤μ≤77)=99% c) Pr(68.11≤μ≤76.52)=99% d) D. Pr(69≤μ≤75)=99% e)

A sports news station wanted to know whether people who live in the North or the South are bigger sports fans. For its study, 121 randomly selected Southerners were surveyed and found to watch a mean of 4.6 hours of sports per week. In the North, 176 randomly selected people were surveyed and found to watch a mean of 3.2 hours of sports per week. Find a 90% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean numbers of hours of sports watched per week for the two regions if the South has a population standard deviation of 1.6 hours per week and the North has a population standard deviation of 1.4 hours per week. Let Population 1 be people who live in the South and Population 2 be people who live in the North. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary.

A sports news station wanted to know whether people who live in the North or the South are bigger sports fans. For its study, 128 randomly selected Southerners were surveyed and found to watch a mean of 4.5 hours of sports per week. In the North, 105 randomly selected people were surveyed and found to watch a mean of 4.3 hours of sports per week. Find a 90% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean numbers of hours of sports watched per week for the two regions if the South has a population standard deviation of 1.3 hours per week and the North has a population standard deviation of 1.9 hours per week. Let Population 1 be people who live in the South and Population 2 be people who live in the North. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary.
In order to estimate the overall proportion of students who favor a shorter semester system, we selected a simple random sample of 36 students and found that 24 of them favor a shorter semester system.(a) Construct a 90% confidence interval for the overall proportion of students who favor a shorter semester system.(b) Find the margin of error associated with this c.i. and interpret the answer in plain language.(c) In order for the margin of error to be no greater than 0.1 (or 10 percentage points), how large a sample should be drawn instead?

A tire producer wants to test whether the mean diameter of the tires produced on a given day equals 36 inches. The firm chooses a random sample of 48 tires, and finds that the sample mean diameter is 36.4 inches and the sample standard deviation is 0.8 inches. Create a 90% confidence interval.
The president of an all-female school wants to know if the students at her school studied more or less, on average, than the students at a neighboring all-male school. To find out, she conducted a study. Accordingly, samples were taken at each school with the following results: All female: sample size = 43, mean study time ( hours) = 18.56, standard deviation (hours) = 4.35 All male: sample size = 38, mean study time (hours) =17.95, standard deviation (hours) = 4.87 Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the differences between population means. Use brackets write the final answer [x.xx, x.xx]
A doctor claims that the mean number of hours of sleep that seniors in high school get per night differs from the mean number of hours of sleep college seniors get per night. To investigate, he selects a random sample of 50 high school seniors from all high schools in his county. He also selects a random sample of 50 seniors from the colleges in his county. He constructs a 95% confidence interval for the true mean difference in the number of hours of sleep for seniors in high school and seniors in college. The resulting interval is (0.57, 1.25). Based upon the interval, can the doctor conclude that mean number of hours of sleep that seniors in high school get per night differs from the mean number of hours of sleep college seniors get per night? yes because 1 is in the confidence interval yes because 0 is not in the confidence interval no because 1 is in the confidence interval no because 0 is not in the confidence interval
In a sample of 16 fish from my pond it was found that 5 are under 165 grams in weight. Based on this sample data, and USING IT to estimate the standard error, what is the MARGIN OF ERROR for the 95 percent confidence interval for the true proportion of fish in my pond weighing under 165 grams?
A city planner would like to estimate the true mean annual income of all households in the city. She selects a random sample of 50 households and determines that the 99% confidence interval for the true mean annual income of all households in the city to be $42,000 to $68,000. If the city planner had selected 100 households rather than 50 households, what effect would this have had on the margin of error of the interval? It would have doubled. It would have been cut in half. It would have remained the same. It would have been smaller, but it would not have been cut in half.
A principal of a large high school wants to estimate the true proportion of high school students who use the community’s public library. To do so, he selects a random sample of 50 students and asks them if they use the community’s public library. The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all students who use the community’s public library is 0.25 to 0.34. If the principal had used a sample size of 200 students rather than 50 students, how would the length of the second interval compare to the original interval?
A nutritionist believes that obesity is more prevalent among American adults than it was in the past. He discovers that in a study conducted in the year 1994, 380 of 1630 randomly chosen adults were classified as obese. However, in a more recent study, he finds 726 out of 2350 randomly chosen adults were classified as obese. construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions p1-p2
