we wish to estimate μ, the mean length of the fish in our pond. we take a random sample of 65 fish and measure their lengths. for this sample, we find an average length of 4.53 cm, and a standard deviation of 0.8cm.
i) using our observations as a pilot study, determine the sample size needed to estimate the mean μ within 0.1cm with 95% confidence.
ii) find the upper confidence interval for μ

Consider a population having a standard deviation equal to 9.96. We wish to estimate the mean of this population. (a) How large a random sample is needed to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean of this population with a margin of error equal to 1? (Round your answer to the next whole number.) The random sample is units. (b) Suppose that we now take a random sample of the size we have determined in part a. If we...

You wish to estimate the mean number of travel days per year for salespeople. The mean of a small pilot study was 150 days, with a standard deviation of 36 days. If you want to estimate the population mean within 7 days, how many salespeople should you sample? Use the 90% confidence level.

The length of a fish species has a normal distribution with a mean of 16cm and a standard deviation of 6cm. A) what is the IQR of the lengths of these fish? B) What is the length of the range in which the middle 95% of the fish lie? C) The upper and lower deciles are the points that mark out the highest 10% and the lowest 10% of the population. Find the upper and lower deciles for the fish...
