For multiple sclerosis patients we wish to estimate the mean age atwhich the disease was first diagnosed. We want a 90%confidence interval that is 8 years wide. If the populationvariance is estimated to be 85 from previous research, how large asample should be taken?

We conduct A study to estimate the mean age of the population of women at the time of their diabetes diagnosis. We select a sample of 60 women who report the age at which they were diagnosed with diabetes. For the sample, the mean age of diagnosis is 54.6 years with a standard deviation of 14. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean age of diagnosis with diabetes.

estimate the average age at which multiple sclerosis patients were diagnosed with the condition for the first time in a given city. How big should the sample be? Define your procedures for this estimate (if necessary, set your own values of unknown parameters, based on statistical theory). In Table 1 you will find all ages of this patient population. 54 58 56 48 62 59 55 56 60 52 53 61 56 56 53 37 71 62 39 61 54...

We wish to estimate the mean gestational age (in days) in high risk pregnancies. if we sample 50 high risk pregnancies, and if the standard deviation is 4 days, what is the probability that the point estimate is within 1 day of the true mean gestational age?

Consider a population having a standard deviation equal to 9.96. We wish to estimate the mean of this population. (a) How large a random sample is needed to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean of this population with a margin of error equal to 1? (Round your answer to the next whole number.) The random sample is units. (b) Suppose that we now take a random sample of the size we have determined in part a. If we...

we wish to estimate μ, the mean length of the fish in our pond. we take a random sample of 65 fish and measure their lengths. for this sample, we find an average length of 4.53 cm, and a standard deviation of 0.8cm. i) using our observations as a pilot study, determine the sample size needed to estimate the mean μ within 0.1cm with 95% confidence. ii) find the upper confidence interval for μ

Shake Shack at the mall is a popular destination with long wait times. Suppose we wish to estimate the wait time for customers at peak dinner time. Assume a previous random sample of size 30 was taken and the sample mean was found to be 14.82 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 4.13 minutes. How large a sample should they take to estimate the true mean wait time to be within 1.2 minutes at the 95% confidence interval?

An admissions director wants to estimate the mean age of all students enrolled at a college. The estimate must be within 1.7 years of the population mean. Assume the population of ages is normally distributed. (a) Determine the minimum sample size required to construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. Assume the population standard deviation is 1.8 years. (b) The sample mean is 20 years of age. Using the minimum sample size with a 90% level of confidence,...
