4. A survey asked a random sample of 363 first-year students how many hours they studied during a particular week. The mean was 15.3 hours. Suppose we know that the population standard deviation is 8.5 hours. Construct a 90%, 95% and 99% confidence interval for the mean study time of all first year students at this university. Interpret the 90% confidence interval.

find the following confidence intervals Near the beginning of the semester, you administered a survey to 10 students. Suppose we wanted to use your sample to calculate the mean age of college students. If your sample mean is 20.4 years and sample standard deviation is 1.27 years, then what are the following confidence intervals? (Round your answers to three decimal places.) 80% CI: LCL = years. 80% CI: UCL = years. 90% CI: LCL = years. 90% CI: UCL =...

At a certain university, the average cost of books was $400 per student last semester and the population standard deviation was $75. This semester a sample of 55 students revealed an average cost of books of $435 per student. The Dean of Students believes that the costs are greater this semester. What is the test value for this hypothesis? 0.47 0.64 3.46 25.67

The college bookstore tells prospective students that the average cost of its textbooks is $52 with a standard deviation of $4.50. A group of smart statistics students thinks that the average cost is higher. In order to test the bookstore’s claim against their alternative, the students will select a random sample of size 100. Assume that the mean from their random sample is $52.80. What is the Z-score? What percentage of samples would have a higher average cost for text...
