Suppose a drug for stomach discomfort is tested on 75 subjects, and the mean time for it to take effect on these 75 subjects is 200 seconds, with a population standard deviation of 30 seconds. (a) What is the 95% confidence interval for the (population) mean amount of time it will take effect on a person from that given population? (b) What about the 99% confidence interval?

If a sample of 4 fish from my pond has mean weight 157 grams with a standard deviation of 8.3 grams and we know the population standard deviation for the fish in my pond is actually 9.4 grams, then WHAT IS the MARGIN OF ERROR in the 99 percent confidence interval for true mean weight of fish in my pond?
If a sample of 25 fish from my pond has mean weight 157 grams with a standard deviation of 8.3 grams and we DO NOT KNOW the population standard deviation for the fish in my pond, then WHAT IS the MARGIN OF ERROR in the 99 percent confidence interval for true mean weight of fish in my pond?
Is there a difference in the average age that people get married in the US and its close neighbor, Canada? Suppose a random sample of 30 Americans had an average age of marriage of 28 years with standard deviation 3 years. For a random sample of 30 Canadians, the average age was 30. 1years with standard deviation 3.3 years. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in average age of marriage between Canadians and Americans Based on the interval alone, what would your conclusion be in a two-sided test of Ho: m1 - m2 = 0? Explain without conducting the test.

Taking a random sample of 35 individuals waiting to be serviced by the teller, we find that the mean waiting time was 22.0 minutes and the standard deviation was 8.0 minutes. Construct a 97% confidence interval of the mean waiting time for all individuals waiting in the service line. If an individual waited for 15 minutes, would this be considered unusually fast?
According to the American Medical Association, the average annual of radiologists in the USA are $230,000 and those of surgeons are $225,000. Suppose that these means are based on random samples of 300 radiologists and 400 surgeons and that the population standard deviations of the annual earnings of radiologists and surgeons are $28,000 and $32,000 respectively. Determine whether there is a difference between the mean annual earnings of radiologists and surgeons with 97% confidence interval.
From a random sample of 68 businesses, it is found that the mean time that employees spend on personal issues each week is 4.9 hours with a standard deviation of 0.35 hours. What is the 95% confidence interval for the amount of time spent on personal issues?
The mean amount of time a random sample of 47Americans 16 and older spent watching television each day is 3.1 hours and it is known the population standard deviationis 0.55 hour. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean amount of time Americans 16 or older watch television. Interpret your result. b) If in the above scenario, a claim is made that the population mean number of hours Americans age 16and older watch television is 3.5hours per day. Would this claim be valid or invalid, based on the results in part (a)?

2. In a length of hospitalization study conducted by several cooperating hospitals, a random sample of 64 peptic ulcer patients was drawn from a list of all peptic ulcer patients ever admitted to the participating hospitals and the length of hospitalization per admission was determined for each. The mean length of hospitalization was found to be 8.25 days. The population standard deviation is known to be 3 days. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the population mean, and explain the interpretation of this interval.
