Question: The following data represent a sample of the assets (in millions of dollars) of 28 credit unions in a state. Assume that the population in this state is normally distributed with σ=3.5 million dollars. Use Excel to find the 99% confidence interval of the mean assets in millions of dollars. Round your answers to three decimal places and use ascending order.
Question: A study was conducted to estimate the mean age when people buy their first new car. The ages of purchase for 22randomly selected people are given below. Assume the ages are approximately normally distributed. Use Excel to determine the 99% confidence interval for the mean. Round your answers to two decimal places and use increasing order.Age
Question: In a random sample of 2,282 college students, 356 reported getting 8 or more hours of sleep per night. Create a 95%confidence interval for the proportion of college students who get 8 or more hours of sleep per night. Use Excel to create the confidence interval, rounding to four decimal places.
Question: A restaurant is reviewing customer complaints. In a sample of 227 complaints, 57 complaints were about the slow speed of the service. Create a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of complaints that were about the slow speed of the service. Use Excel to create the confidence interval, rounding to four decimal places.
Question: The monthly incomes from a random sample of 20 workers in a factory is given below in dollars. Assume the population has a normal distribution and has standard deviation $518. Compute a 98% confidence interval for the mean of the population. Round your answers to the nearest dollar and use ascending order.
Question: The number of hours worked per year per adult in a state is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 37. A sample of 115 adults is selected at random, and the number of hours worked per year per adult is given below. Use Excel to calculate the 98% confidence interval for the mean hours worked per year for adults in this state. Round your answers to two decimal places and use ascending order.
Question: A type of golf ball is tested by dropping it onto a hard surface from a height of 1 meter. The height it bounces is known to be normally distributed. A sample of 25 balls is tested and the bounce heights are given below. Use Excel to find a 95%confidence interval for the mean bounce height of the golf ball. Round your answers to two decimal places and use increasing order.
Question: A college admissions director wishes to estimate the mean age of all students currently enrolled. The age of a random sample of 23 students is given below. Assume the ages are approximately normally distributed. Use Excel to construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean age. Round your answers to two decimal places and use increasing order.
Question: Weights, in pounds, of ten-year-old girls are collected from a neighborhood. A sample of 26 is given below. Assuming normality, use Excel to find the 98% confidence interval for the population mean weight μ. Round your answers to three decimal places and use increasing order.
