The accompanying data shows percentage changes (x;) in a stock market over the first five trading days of each of 11 years and also the corresponding percentage changes (y;) in the index over the whole year. If the stock market index increases by 1.0% in the first five trading days of a year, find 95% confidence intervals for the actual and also the expected percentage changes in the index over the whole year. Discuss the distinction between these intervals. Click on the icon to view the data. Click to view the table of critical values of the Student's t distribution. The 95% confidence interval for the actual percentage change in the index over the whole year runs from to (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

In another pre-election poll, a pollster finds that 442 out of 650 people polled favor Smith. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the proportion (to nearest 0.001) of people in the whole population who favor Smith.
In the year 2017, the mean and standard deviation for the quality grade point average of the first-year students in a basic statistics course is found to be 2.95 and 0.53. If 38 undergraduates are randomly selected, find the 95% confidence interval for the mean of the entire group. Within the same year, if another group of 38 students were sampled and resulted with a mean of 2.87, test the hypothesis that the sample mean is different from the population mean at a 5% level of significance.
An analyst takes a random sample of 25 firms in the telecommunications industry and constructs a confidence interval for the mean return for the prior year. Holding all else constant, if he increased the sample size to 30 firms, how are the standard error of the mean and the width of the confidence interval affected?
From the estimation of the population mean of the Year of Education with a 99% confidence interval, what is the lower limit? (Round off to two decimal places if necessary).
Suppose that a random sample of 50 bottles of a particular brand of cough medicine is selected and the alcohol content of each bottle is determined. Let denote the average alcohol content for the population of all bottles of the brand under study. Suppose that the sample of 50 results in a 95% confidence interval for of (7.8, 9.4). a) Would a 90% confidence interval have been narrower or wider than the given interval? b) If the sample size was increased to 100, would the confidence interval be narrower or wider than the given interval? c) Explain what we mean by the “We are 95% confident” part of the interpretation.
What value of zα/2 is used in confidence interval shown below?
A researcher wants to estimate the mean height of all the blackberry bushes in cititon park. Based on a prior study, she assumes that the standard deviation of the heights of all the bushes is 17 cm. If she wants to make a 95% confidence interval for the mean with the margin of error of 5 cm, at least how many bushes should be included in her sample?
In a study, Group 1 was found to have an average of 53 and a population standard deviation of 13 out of a random sample of 25. Group 2 was found to have an average of 42 and a population standard deviation of 9 out of a random sample of 16. With a 99% confidence interval, what is the smaller value?
A pharmaceutical company claims that its new drug reduces systolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure (in millimeters of mercury) for nine patients before taking the new drug and 22 hours after taking the drug are shown in the table below. Using this data, find the 99%99% confidence interval for the true difference in blood pressure for each patient after taking the new drug.
