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 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?
9. A group of statistics students decided to conduct a survey at their university to find the average (mean) amount of time students spent studying per week. Assuming a population standard deviation of three hours, what is the required sample size if the error should be less than a half hour with a 99% level of confidence? 10.University officials say that at least 70% of the voting student population supports a fee increase. If the 95% confidence interval estimating the...
A professor finds that for 9 randomly selected students the time needed to complete an assignment had a sample mean of 60 minutes and a sample standard deviation of 18 minutes. The 98% confidence interval estimate for the population mean is: a. 50.99 - 77.01 b. 42.62 - 77.38 c. 59.00 - 69.00 d. 41.37 - 65.63 QUESTION 26 After estimating the interval in the previous question, we can interpret it as: a. We are 98% confident that the true...
Suppose a university wishes to estimate the average weight of their undergraduate male students. A random sample of 200 undergraduate male students at this university are sampled. It is found that the sample mean weight is 83.3 kg, with a corresponding 95% confidence interval for mu of (81.3, 85.3). Of the following options, which one is the most appropriate interpretation of that interval? We can be 95% confident that the sample mean weight of the 200 undergraduate male students in...
Question 13 D 1 pts A university of dean of students wishes to estimate the average number of hours students spend doing homework per week. The standard deviation from a previous study is 6.2 hours. How large a sample must be selected if he wants to be 99% confident of finding whether the true mean differs from the sample mean by 1.5 hours? 1 pts Question 14 If the variance of a national accounting examination is 900, how large a...
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.
In the survey of a random sample of students at a university, two questions were, “How many hours per week do you usually study?” and “Have you smoked marijuana in the past six months?” An analysis of the results produced the following SPSS output: A research question of interest is whether students who have smoked marijuana (group Y) in the past 6 months differ in study hours on average per week than those who have not (group N). Using...
The mean number of hours of part-time work per week for a sample of 526 college students is 28. if the margin of error for the population mean with a 99 % confidence interval is 2.2, construct a 99 % confidence interval for the mean number of hours of part-time work per week for all college students.
