A researcher surveys middle-school students on their study
habits. She finds that in a random sample of 28
middle-school students, the mean amount of time that they spend
working on the computer each night is 2.4 hours
with a standard deviation of 0.92 hours. She uses
the sample statistics to compute a 95% confidence
interval for the population mean - the the mean amount of time that
all middle-school students spend working on the computer each
night.
What is the 95% confidence interval?

Hence the solution...

A questionnaire about study habits was given to a random sample of high school students. The sample of 20 students reported that they spent an average of 215 minutes per week studying with a standard deviation of 70 minutes. What is your 95% confidence interval on the population variance?
A researcher wants to know what percentage of students at two different universities study for more than one hour per night. He takes a simple random sample of 100 students from each school and finds that 40% of students at school 1 study for more than one hour per night and 35% of students at school 2 study for more than one hour per night. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportion of students who study...
A random sample of 85 students finds that they, on average, they get 6.5 hours of sleep a night, with a sample standard deviation of 7 hours. Would you use the z-distribution or the t-distribution to construct a confidence interval? How do you know? Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. How do you interpret this interval? Is it likely that students actually get 7 hours of sleep a night? How can you tell?
In order to investigate how many hours a day students at their school tend to spend on course work outside of regularly scheduled class time, a statistics student takes a random sample of 150 students from their school by randomly choosing names from a list of all full-time students at their school that semester. The student finds that the average reported daily study hours among the 150 students is 2.23 hours. The standard deviation of the hours studied is 1.05...
7. A researcher surveys 40 college students to determine how much they spend on textbooks per semester. The responses have a sample mean of $426. The population standard deviation is known to be $83. Find the 95% confidence interval of the true mean. Assume the variable is normally distributed.
A market researcher for a consumer electronics company wants to study the television viewing habits of residents of a particular area. A random sample of 40 respondents is selected, and each respondent is instructed to keep a detailed record of all television viewing in a particular week. The results are as follows: • Viewing time per week: Xbar = 15.3 hours, S = 3.8 hours. • 27 respondents watch the evening news on at least three weeknights. Construct a 95%...

17) According to a local school district, middle school students are assigned a mean of 3.5 hours of homework per night. If 144 samples of 50 students from this school district are collected and the amount of time spent per night on homework is recorded for each student, what would you expect to be the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean?
A random sample of 40 students at a university finds that these students take a mean of 14.7 credit hours per quarter with a standard deviation of 1.9 credit hours. The 95% confidence interval for the mean credit hours per quarter will be O A. narrower than the 99% confidence interval OB. wider than the 99% confidence interval O c. the same width as the 90% confidence interval OD. narrower than the 90% confidence interval O E. none of the...
A study on exercise habits used a random sample of 2,540 college students (1,220 females and 1,320 males). The study found the following: 818 of the females in the sample exercise on a regular basis. 924 of the males in the sample exercise on a regular basis. The average time that the 1742 students who exercise on a regular basis (818 + 924) spend exercising per week is 4.2 hours. What is the point estimate for the average amount of...
