A new drug is introduced that is supposed to reduce fevers. Tests are done with the drug. The drug is given to 70 people who have fevers. It is found that the mean time that it takes for the fever to get back to normal for this test group is 400 minutes with a standard deviation of 85 minutes. Find the 95% confidence interval for the mean time that the drug will take to reduce all fevers for all people.

A new drug is introduced that is supposed to reduce fevers. Tests are done with the drug. The drug is given to 45 people who have fevers. It is found that the mean time that it takes for the fever to get back to normal for this test group is 500 minutes with a standard deviation of 105 minutes. Find the 80% confidence interval for the mean time that the drug will take to reduce all fevers for all people...

A shop has recently introduced a new system, which aims to reduce clients’ waiting time below 6 minutes. After several months that the new system has been operating, the management wishes to study whether the new system is effective. A sample of 100 shop customer waiting times is collected. The average and the standard deviation of this sample are 5.5 minutes and 2.4 minutes respectively. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for ?, the mean of all possible shop clients waiting...

A pharmaceutical company has developed a new drug to reduce cholesterol. A regulatory agency will recommend the new drug for use if there is convincing evidence that the mean reduction in cholesterol level after one month of use is more than 20 mg/dl. The company collected data by giving the new drug to a random sample of 50 people from the population of people with high cholesterol. The sample mean reduction was 24 mg/dl and the standard deviation was 15...

Recall that a bank manager has developed a new system to reduce the time customers spend waiting to be served by tellers during peak business hours. The mean waiting time during peak business hours under the current system is roughly 9 to 10 minutes. The bank manager hopes that the new system will have a mean waiting time that is less than six minutes. The mean of the sample of 92 bank customer waiting times is ñ = 5.43. If...

In a random sample of 8 people, the mean commute time to work was 34.5 minutes and the standard deviation was 7.3 minutes. A 95% confidence interval using the t-distribution was calculated to be (28.4.40.6). After researching commute times to work, it was found that the population standard deviation is 9.4 minutes. Find the margin of error and construct a 95% confidence interval using the standard normal distribution with the appropriate calculations for a standard deviation that is known. Compare...

7. A study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of a new drug for treating Stage 4 AIDS patients. A group of AIDS patients was randomly divided into two groups. One group received the new drug; the other group received a placebo. The difference in mean subsequent survival (those with drugs - those without drugs) was found to be 1.04 years and a 95% confidence interval was found to be 1.04 ± 2.37 years. Based upon this information: Select one...

A clinical trial was conducted to test whether a drug for treating insomnia is effective. Researchers administered the drug and measured the time it took 23 randomly selected subjects to fall asleep. The subjects had a mean wake time of 96.6 min and a sample standard deviation of 24.5 min. Assume that the population of wake times is normally distributed. (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval. You may use your calculator. Round to 1 decimals. (b) Are the assumptions met?...
