The Human Relations Department of Electronics Inc. would like to include a dental plan as part of the benefits package. The question is: How much does a typical employee and his or her family spend per year on dental expenses? A sample of 45 employees reveals the mean amount spent last year was $1,820, with a standard deviation of $660. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. The information from part (a) was given to the president of Electronics Inc. He indicated he could afford $1,700 dental expenses per employee. Is it possible that the population mean could be $1,700? Justify your answer.
We wish to estimate what percent of 18 to 25-year old's that own a Samsung phone. Out of 400 sampled, 104 had a Samsung phone. Based on this, construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all adults that own a Samsung phone.
Suppose that the owner of a recently opened convenience store in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, wants to estimate how many pounds of bananas are sold during a typical day. The owner checks his sales records for a random sample of 16 days and establishes that the mean number of pounds sold per day is 75 pounds and that the sample standard deviation is 6 pounds. Estimate the mean number of pounds the owner should stock each day to a 95% confidence level.
Suppose that Apple Inc wished to estimate the mean talk time for its iPhone before the battery must be recharged. In a random sample of 30 phones the sample mean was 350 minutes. Assume the population standard deviation, for talk time, is 90 minutes. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean talk time for all iPhones before the battery must be recharged. Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the mean talk time for all iPhones before the battery must be recharged.
A student who is studying to become a computer scientist would like to estimate the proportion of Android users at his university because he would like to begin offering an Android repair service to students to support himself financially. He randomly samples 31 students and asks them if they own an Android phone to which 13 say they do. Fill in the blanks below to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students at his university who own a Android phone. Round the point estimate and standard error to four decimal places. Report the critical value to two decimal places. Note that the critical value should be reported immediately after the ±. _____________ ± ___________ * ______________
The National Association of Home Builders provided data on the cost of the most popular home remodeling projects. Sample data on cost in thousands of dollars for two types of remodeling projects are as follows. Develop a point estimate of the difference between the population mean remodeling costs for the two types of projects. Develop a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means.
The national average number of sick days that an employee takes per year is believed to be 10. The human resource department of a local company does not believe this to be the case at their company. They randomly survey 8 employees who took sick days over the past year and find the following: 12, 4, 15, 3, 11, 8, 6, 8. Should the HR department believe the mean number of days is 10? What are the confidence intervals?
As part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the Department of Health and Human Services obtained self-reported heights and measured heights for males aged 12 – 16. All measurements are in inches. Using a 0.05 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a difference between self-reported heights and measured heights of males aged 12 – 16? Also be sure to include the confidence interval. What does this suggest about the average difference between self-reported and actual heights? Write an APA-style results section for what you find. Reported: 68 71 63 70 71 60 65 64 54 63 66 72 Measured: 67.9 69.9 64.9 68.3 70.3 60.6 64.5 67 55.6 74.2 65 70.8
A survey commissioned by the Southern Cross Healthcare Group reported that 16% of New Zealanders consume ﬁve or more servings of so drinks per week. The data were obtained through an online survey of 2006 randomly selected New Zealanders over 15 years of age. What number of survey respondents reported that they consume ﬁve or more servings of so drinks per week? You will need to round your answer. Why? Find a 95% conﬁdence interval for the proportion of New Zealanders who report that they consume ﬁve or more servings of so drinks per week.
The “Pro-Wealth” insurance wants to calculate the difference between the average amount of term life insurance purchased per family and the average amount of life time insurance purchased per family. To obtain this data, one of the company's actuaries randomly selects 25 families who have term life insurance only and 27 families who have life time insurance only. Each sample was taken from families where the head was less than 45 years old. Use the data obtained with a confidence level of: 96%, to estimate the difference in the mean between the two groups, assuming the amount of insurance is normally distributed. For term insurance (term): xT = $ 76,000 sT = $ 22,500 and nT = 25 , while for whole life insurance: xT = $ 46,000 sT = $ 15,600 and nT = 27.
Suppose that Apple Inc wished to estimate the mean talk time for its iPhone before the battery must be recharged. In a random sample of 30 phones the sample mean was 350 minutes. Assume the population standard deviation, , for talk time is 90 minutes. a. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean talk time for all iPhones before the battery must be recharged. b. Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the mean talk time for all iPhones before the battery must be recharged.
University personnel are concerned about the sleeping habits of students and the negative impact on academic performance. In a random sample of 377 U.S. college students, 209 students reported experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that more than half of U.S. college students experience EDS? Use a 5% level of significance STATE: What is a 90% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of all of U.S. college students who experience excessive daytime sleepiness? PLAN: State the name of the appropriate estimation procedure (e.g. one-sample t confidence interval for estimating the mean difference) Note: You have already described the parameter being estimated in Part A, so you don't have to repeat it here.
