c.) A.C. Neilsen reported that children between the ages of 2 and 5 watch an average of 25 hours of television per week. Assume the amount watched by a randomly selected child is normally distributed and the standard deviation is 3 hours. If 20 children between the ages of 2 and 5 are randomly selected, what is the standard error of the average number of hours watched by the children in the sample?

A.C. Neilsen reported that children between the ages of 2 and 5 watch an average of 25 hours of television per week. Assume the variable is normally distributed and the standard deviation is 3 hours. If 20 children between the ages of 2 and 5 are randomly selected, find the probability that the mean of the number of hours they watch television will be greater than 26.3 hours.

Confidence Interval Given. Assume I created a 95% confidence interval for the mean hours studied for a test based on a random sample of 64 students. The lower bound of this interval was 4 and the upper bound was 14. Assume that when I created this interval I knew the population standard deviation. Using this information, (a) Calculate the width of the interval. (b) Calculate the margin of error for the interval. (c) Calculate the center of the interval. (d)...
