Question 10 (1 point) For a random sample of 15 recent business school graduates beginning their...
For a random sample of 16 recent business school graduates beginning their first job, the mean starting salary was found to be $39,500, and the sample standard deviation was $8,500. Assuming the population is normally distributed, calculate the lower confidence limit (LCL) of the population mean with a 0.05.
Question 9 (1 point) For a random sample of 18 recent business school graduates beginning their first job, the mean starting salary was found to be $43,500, and the sample standard deviation was $5,500. Assuming the population is normally distributed, find the margin of error of a 95% confidence interval for the population mean.
We want to estimate the mean starting salary in a population of graduates. Approximately normally distributed. Standard deviation = 10 In a random sample of 31 graduates, the mean starting salary was 61.8 and the standard deviation was 12. 1. What is the lower (smaller) endpoint of the 90% confidence interval for the population mean? 2. What is the upper (larger) endpoint of the 90% confidence interval for the population mean? 3. If null hypothesis = 60 and alternate hypothesis...
2. A random sample of 100 graduates of a certain secretarial school typed an average of 90 words per minute with a sample standard deviation (s) of 10 words per minute. We assume a normal distribution for the number of words typed per minute. (a) (4pts) Find a 95% confidence interval for the average number of words t yped per minute of all graduates of this school. (b) (3pts) Suppose the population standard deviation (o) is exactly 10 words per...
Assuming the random variable X is normally distributed, compute the upper and lower limit of the 95% confidence interval for the population mean if a random sample of size n=11 produces a sample mean of 43 and sample standard deviation of 6.20. Lower limit = , Upper limit = Round to two decimals.
A study on salaries of recent graduates from a certain college are normally distributed with mean and standard deviation . Use the information to answer questions #1-6. You may use manual, technology, or table for computation, but you need to show work to justify your computation. 1. Suppose your starting salary is $55,000. a. determine the z-score b. interpret your z-score in terms of percentile (ranking) in the context of the population. 2. Find proportion for which the salary of...
A student wants to estimate the average annual starting salary of recent graduates with a bachelor's degree in statistics. He wants his estimate to be within $500 from the true population mean salary with 95% confidence level. Which of the following is the most appropriate sample size to achieve this goal? Use $2000 as the estimate for population standard deviation.
For Problem 1 and 2: A random sample of 16 graduates of a certain secretarial school typed an average of 85 words per minute with a standard deviation of 8 words per minute. Assume that the number of words typed per minute of a randomly selected graduates follows a normal distribution 1. (4 pts) a 95% confidence interval to estimate the average number of words typed by all graduates of this school. Remember to state the assumptions and interpret the...
A large university is well known for both its business school and its mechanical engineering program. The dean of the career services office wants to know if there is a difference in starting job salary between recently graduated business majors and mechanical engineering majors. The starting annual salaries for a random sample of 30 business majors and 30 mechanical engineering majors from the most recent graduating class are taken. Assume that the population standard deviation of the business majors' starting...
A simple random sample of size n=15 is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample mean is found to be x bar=68 and the sample standard deviation is found to be s=15. Construct a 90% confidence interval about the population mean.
