Researchers conduct a study of students’ first test performance. They assume that individual scores follow normal distribution with unknown parameters. A group of n = 25 students was selected at random and sample summaries were found as follows: Sample Mean =⇒ X¯ = 67.4 and Sample SD = 12.5
1. Derive a 95% confidence interval for the population mean (µ)
2. Show the critical value you use
3. Find the margin of error
4. Determine the width of this interval

2. Suppose that a random sample of 41 state college students is asked to measure the length of their right foot in centimeters. A 90% confidence interval for the mean foot length for students at this university turns out to be (21.709, 25.091). If we now calculated a 95% confidence interval, would the new confidence interval be wider than or narrower than or the same as the original? b. Suppose two researchers want to estimate the proportion of American college...

Two researchers conducted a study in which two groups of students were asked to answer 42 trivia questions from a board game. The students in group 1 were asked to spend 5 minutes thinking about what it would mean to be a professor, while the students in group 2 were asked to think about soccer hooligans. These pretest thoughts are a form of priming. The 200 students in group 1 had a mean score of 218 with a standard deviation...

Mean Income of NYC Household Heads: Suppose researchers want to conduct a study on the mean income of NYC household heads. From previous studies they know that the standard deviation in the population is approximately $30,000. 1) How large should a simple random sample be to estimate mean income with a standard error of $1,000? Show all main steps of your calculation. (No points will be given to an answer of only a final number provided even if the number...

INFERENCES ABOUT THE POPULATION MEAN DISTINGUISH BETWEEN Z-TEST AND T-TEST. 1. A GROUP OF 9 STORE MANAGERS WAS DRAWN FOR ANALYSIS OF THEIR IQ SCORES. ASSUME THAT INDIVIDUAL SCORES ARE NORMALLY DISTRIBUTED, WITH THE UNKNOWN POPULATION AVERAGE AND POPULATION STANDARD DEVIATION OF 15. SAMPLE SUMMARIES WERE: (SAMPLE MEAN) = 88.2 AND (SAMPLE STANDARD DEVIATION) = 12. (A) AT THE 1% SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL, DO WE HAVE SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE THAT THE POPULATION AVERAGE IQ WAS BELOW 100?

Researchers conducted a study to determine an initial estimate for the effectiveness of the influenza vaccine during the 2014-2015 influenza season (Flannery et al., 2015). The participants in the study were randomly selected from 2321 individuals with respiratory illness from five U.S. states. In Pennsylvania, the study found that, out of 461 patients with acute respiratory illness, 210 had received the influenza vaccine. which procedure should be used for calculating a 95% confidence interval for the vaccinated patients in Pennsylvania,...
