a. Give a point estimate for μ. (Type an integer or a decimal.)
b. Give an interval estimate for μ. Use a confidence interval of 0.95.
a) The point estimate for the population mean is the sample mean hence point estimate = 14.8
b)
The formula for estimation is:
μ = M ± Z(sM)
where:
M = sample mean, here used M instead of X(bar)
Z = Z statistic determined by confidence level
sM = standard error = √(s2/n)
Hence ,
M = 14.8
Z= 1.96 at 95 % confidence level
sM = √(9.92/2817) = 0.19
μ = M ± Z(sM)
μ = 14.8 ± 1.96*0.19
μ = 14.8 ± 0.366
We can be 95% confident that the population mean (μ) falls between 14.434 and 15.166.

Answers only is okay! Construct the indicated confidence interval for the population mean μ using the t-distribution. Assume the population is normally distributed. c=0.99, x=13.1, s=3.0, n= 6 Construct the indicated confidence interval for the population mean μ using the t-distribution. Assume the population is normally distributed. c=0.95, x=14.5, s=0.55, n= 15 Use the given confidence interval to find the margin of error and the sample mean.

Over the past several months, an adult patient has been treated for tetany (severe muscle spasms). This condition is associated with an average total calcium level below 6 mg/dl. Recently, the patient's total calcium tests gave the following readings (in mg/dl).

For each question below select the best answer from those listed and give your reasoning. Your reasoning need only be a sentence or two. It is not enough to get the right answer, you must know why it is the right answer. Question 5 Fred's friend claimed that Canadians tend to be jerks. Fred wondered if that was true, and tested it by checking to see how many Canadian jerks he could think of. Fred's cognitive strategy is ["the availability...
