random sample of 64 students at a university showed an average age of 25 years and a sample standard deviation of 2 years. The 95% confidence interval for the true average age of all students in the university is ____________ Select one: a. 24.5 to 25.4 b. 20.5 to 29.5. c. 23.0 to 27.0 d. 20.0 to 30.0
18. Scores this year on the SAT mathematics test (SAT-M) for students taking the test for the first time are believed to be Normally distributed with mean 4. For students taking the test for the second time, this year's scores are also believed to be Normally distributed but with a possibly different mean 42. We wish to estimate the difference - A random sample of the SAT-M scores of 100 students who took the test for the first time this...
Suppose that you give the SAT to a random sample of 1000 people from a large population in which the scores have mean 1400 and it is known that the population standard deviation is 200. It is known that the distribution is approximately normal. (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the unknown mean of the SAT test. (b) Construct a 90% confidence interval for the unknown mean of the SAT test. (c) Construct a 92% confidence interval for the...
Scores this year for students taking the SAT Math test for the first time are believed to be Normally distributed with mean Mi. For students taking the test for the second time, this year's scores are also believed to be Normally distributed, but with a possibly different mean M2. We wish to estimate the difference M2 - Mi. A random sample of the SAT Math scores of 100 students who took the test for the first time this year was...
please show how its done on TI-64 1. SAT scores are distributed with a mean of 1,500 and a standard deviation of 300. You are interested in estimating the average SAT score of first year students at your college. If you would like to limit the margin of error of your 95% confidence interval to 25 points, how many students should you sample? 3. If n=31, ¯xx¯(x-bar)=36, and s=6, construct a confidence interval at a 98% confidence level. Assume the...
random sample of 28 students at the university showed an average age of 25 years and a sample standard deviation of 2 years. Calculate the margin of error for a confidence interval for age at the 98% level of confidence O 1.235 O : 1.645 ○ :0.945 O 0.888
2. Suppose that a random sample of 41 state college students is asked to measure the length of their right foot in centimeters. A 90% confidence interval for the mean foot length for students at this university turns out to be (21.709, 25.091). If we now calculated a 95% confidence interval, would the new confidence interval be wider than or narrower than or the same as the original? b. Suppose two researchers want to estimate the proportion of American college...
5. Suppose X follows a normal distribution with mean u = 200 and standard deviation o = 40. Find each of the following probabilities. (8 points) a. P(160 < x < 232) b. P(X > 160) C. P(X < 100) d. P(230 < x < 284) 6. Sup Suppose we know that SAT scores have a population average u = 1080 and a standard deviation o = 200. A university wants to give merit scholarships to all students with an...
A random sample of 31 students at a community college showed an average age of 25 years. Assume the ages of all students at the college are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1.8 years The 98% confidence interval for the average age of all students at this college is (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.) 1 Point Answer From 24.248 To 25.752
We considered the differences between the reading and writing scores of a random sample of 200 students who took the High School and Beyond Survey in Exercise 5.21. The mean and standard deviation of the differences are x̄read-write = -0.545 and 8.887 points respectively. (a) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the average difference between the reading and writing scores of all students. lower bound: points (please round to two decimal places) upper bound: points (please round to two decimal...
