Textbook Question
Chapter 7.2, Problem 6E
The County and City Data Book, published by the Census Bureau, lists information on 3139 counties throughout the United States. Assume that a national study will collect data from 30 randomly selected counties. Use four-digit random numbers from the last column of Table 7.1 to identify the numbers corresponding to the first five counties selected for the sample. Ignore the first digits and begin with the four-digit random numbers 9945, 8364, 5702, and so on.

One study presented 200 young American men with 100 images of men with various levels of muscle. Researchers measure level of muscle in kilograms per square meter (kg/m²) of fat-free body mass. Typical young men have about 20 kg/m². Each subject chose two images, one that represented his own level of body muscle and one that he thought represented "what women prefer." The mean gap between self-image and "what women prefer" was 2.35 kg/m². Suppose that the "muscle gap" in the population of all young men has a Normal distribution with standard deviation 2.5 kg/m² Give a 90% confidence interval for the mean amount of muscle think they should add to be attractive to women (Enter your answers rounded to four decimal places.) young 00 ible lower limit = 00 upper limit = 00 00 100 100 3 # E 80 DOD F4 $ 94 55 6 MacBook Air R T Y kg/m² kg/m²…arrow_forward
