Professor Venkat is on a mission to find out the average number of students absent from his lectures. For this, he analyzed 54 random attendance sheets from his previous semesters and found out that on average, the number of absentees was 38 with a standard deviation of 12. Let's assume that the data follows a Gaussian distribution. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the true mean of the dataset.

A professor at a university wants to estimate the average number of hours of sleep students get during exam week. On the first day of exams, she asked 27 students how many hours they had slept the night before. The average of the sample was 3.79 with a standard deviation of 1.224. When estimating the average amount of sleep with a 99% confidence interval, what is the margin of error? 1) 0.3549 2) 0.6546 3) 0.5839 4) 0.2356 5) 0.6527

Question 8 8 out of 8 points The registrar at Fort Lewis College suspects that business school students are missing too much class. In order to test his claim, the registrar takes a simple random sample of six students. For a random sample of students, the number of days each was absent from their classes during the Fall 2014 semester was recorded. The data are listed below. 3 2 1 0 2 7 For a 99% confidence...

A random sample of 57 children with working mothers showed that they were absent from school an average of 5.3 days per term with a standard deviation of 1.8 days. If days absent follows a normal distribution, determine the critical value for the test statistic (z or t) needed to build a 98% confidence interval for the average number of days absent per term for all children. State the positive value only exactly as found in the table (3 decimal...

You are to estimate the average number of hours that students who are planning to enroll at a college in the fall semester will be taking. You don’t know the standard deviation (or variance), but from previous semesters you have an idea about the range. Historically, the lowest number of hours taken is 1 (usually a PE course). At the other end of the spectrum, the most hours a student has ever been enrolled for is 24. Using industry convention,...

a) Approximately 500 students take a particular college statistics course each year. As an exercise, each of the 500 students in the class is given a different random sample of the previous year's 500 final grades (in percentages) and asked to construct a 95% interval estimate of the previous year's overall average. Which of the following statements is correct? About 475 of the confidence intervals will contain the actual overall average for the previous year. It is probable that 475...

A researcher wants to estimate the average number of days/week UNBC students engage in physical exercises in response to a national fitness magazine article suggesting that the average student in Canada does not engage in physical exercises. She is planning to select a simple random sample of students using the list of currently enrolled students at UNBC after receiving approval from the Research Ethics Board. Assuming the researcher took a sample of 50 participants and observed a sample average engagement...

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...
