9. A group of statistics students decided to conduct a survey at their university to find the average (mean) amount of time students spent studying per week. Assuming a population standard deviation of three hours, what is the required sample size if the error should be less than a half hour with a 99% level of confidence? 10.University officials say that at least 70% of the voting student population supports a fee increase. If the 95% confidence interval estimating the...
In 2009, the average starting salary for an individual right out of college with a bachelor’s degree in business was $51,620 per year. Suppose a 2014 study, which randomly sampled 74 individuals right out of college with a bachelor’s degree in business, showed an average starting salary of $49,400. Assume the population standard deviation is $8,710. Does the 2014 study indicate that the average starting salary of an individual right out of college with a bachelor’s degree in business is...
