Question 13 D 1 pts A university of dean of students wishes to estimate the average number of hours students spend doing homework per week. The standard deviation from a previous study is 6.2 hours. How large a sample must be selected if he wants to be 99% confident of finding whether the true mean differs from the sample mean by 1.5 hours? 1 pts Question 14 If the variance of a national accounting examination is 900, how large a...
At Western University, the historical mean of scholarship examination scores for freshman applications is 900. A historical population standard deviation σ = 180 is assumed known. Each year, the assistant dean uses a sample of applications to determine whether the mean examination score for the new freshman applications has changed. State the hypotheses. What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean examination score if a sample of 200 applications provided a sample mean x bar = 935?...
Suppose that scores on the mathematics part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) test for eighth-grade students follows a normal distribution with sd equal to 110. You want to estimate the true mean score within +/- 10 points with 90% confidence. Suppose you find out that the most you can sample is only 225 subjects. Now estimate the confidence level you could attain with n=225.
An IQ test is designed so that the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 12 for the population of normal adults. Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean IQ score of statistics students such that it. an be said with 99% confidence that the sample mean is within 3 IQ points of the true mean. Assume that sigma=12 and determine the required sample size using technology.
Scores on a certain test are normally distributed with a variance of 84. A researcher wishes to estimate the mean score achieved by all adults on the test. Find the sample size needed to assure with 95 percent confidence that the sample mean will not differ from the population mean by more than 5 units.
3. An IQ test is designed so that the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 19 for the population of adults. Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean IQ score of nurses such that it can be said with 99 % confidence that the sample mean is within 5 IQ points of the true mean. Assume that o = 19 and determine the required sample size using technology. The required sample size is _ (Round up...
(6 pts) The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a test required for admission into many masters of business administration (MBA) programs. Suppose a random sample of 8 students took the test, and their scores are given below. 699, 560, 414, 570, 521, 663, 727, 413 Find a point estimate of the population mean. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean score for the population. Interpret the interval you constructed above. How many students should be surveyed to...

Score: 0.67 of 1 pt N Score: 78.22%, 23.47 of 3 24 of 30 (28 complete) > 6.1.53 Question Help * A doctor wants to estimate the HDL cholesterol of all 20- to 29-year-old females. How many subjects are needed to estimate the HDL cholesterol within 2 points with 99% confidence assuming σ = 14.7? Suppose the doctor would be content with 90% confidence. How does the decrease in con fidence affect the sample size required? A 99% confidence level...
An IQ test is designed so that the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 12 for the population of normal adults. Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean IQ score of statistics students such that it can be said with 99% confidence that the sample mean is within 4 IQ points of the true mean. Assume that a 12 and determine the required sample size using technology, Then determine if this is a reasonable sample size...
