In order to estimate the average time spent on the computer terminals per student at a local university, data were collected from a sample of 81 business students over a one-week period. Assume the population standard deviation is 1.2 hours. If the sample mean is 9 hours, then the 95% confidence interval is approximately a. The 95% interval because it is a less accurate interval. The 95% interval because it is a less accurate interval. b. The 99% interval because...

Suppose it is desired to estimate the average time a customer spends in a particular store to within 5 minutes with 99% confidence. It is estimated that the range of the times a customer spends in the store is 90 minutes. How large a sample should be taken to get the desired interval? Right-click the link to use this Z table (The answer is NOT 135, or 134.37) (I believe the standard deviation is not 22.5) The answer is 60,...

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...
