A researcher wants to determine a 99% confidence interval for the mean number of hours that adults spend per week doing community service. How large a sample should the researcher select so that the estimate is within 1.4 hours of the population mean? Assume that the standard deviation for time spent per week doing community service by all adults is 3 hours.
An economist wants to find a 90% confidence interval for the mean sale price of houses in a state. How large a sample should she select so that the estimate is within $3500 of the population mean? Assume that the standard deviation for the sale prices of all houses in this state is $31,500. answer is 221 but unsure of how to get this answer
A researcher wants to estimate the mean IQ score for a population of high school students. How many students will she have to select for the IQ tests if she wants 95% confidence the sample mean is within 3 IQ points of the population mean? Assume the population standard deviation is 15.
A marketing researcher wants to estimate the mean amount spent ($) on a certain retail website by members of the website's premium program. A random sample of 100 members of the website's premium program who recently made a purchase on the website yielded a mean of $2000 and a standard deviation of $200. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean spending for all shoppers who are members of the website's premium program. (Round to two decimal places as...
Annie is a researcher who wants to find a confidence interval estimate of the mean time it takes to complete an order over the phone at a call center for a large retail company. She has selected a random sample of 18 orders and recorded the time to complete the order. The sample mean time was 4.27 minutes and the sample standard deviation was 0.78 minutes. Assuming the conditions needed for inference are met,which of the following is the appropriate...
A researcher is interested in finding a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of times per day that college students text. The study included 141 students who averaged 25.7 texts per day. The standard deviation was 21.2 texts. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible. a. To compute the confidence interval use a tv distribution. 0 and b. With 95% confidence the population mean number of texts per day is between texts. c. If many groups of 141...
A market researcher collects a simple random sample o customers from a population o over a million customers that use a home improvement website. After analyzing the sample, she states that she has 95% confidence that the mean time customers spent on that website per day is between 17 and 52 minutes. Suppose that the population mean time customers spent on that website is 49 minutes a day. Does this value of the population mean help to show that the...
A marketing researcher wants to estimate the mean amount spent ($) on a certain retail website by members of the website's premium program. A random sample of 98 members of the website's premium program who recently made a purchase on the website yielded a mean of $1200 and a standard deviation of $300. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate for the mean spending for all shoppers who are members of the website's premium program. (Round to two decimal places as...
Explain what "95% confidence" means in a 95% confidence interval. What does "95% confidence" mean in a 95% confidence interval? A. If 100 different confidence intervals are constructed, each based on a different sample of size n from the same population, then we expect 95 of the intervals to include the parameter and 5 to not include the parameter. B. The probability that the value of the parameter lies between the lower and upper bounds of the interval is 95%....
6) A medical researcher wants to investigate the amount of time it takes for patients' headache to be relieved after taking a new prescription painkiller. She plans to use statistical methods to estimate the mean of the population of relief times. She believes that the population is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 20 minutes. How large a sample should she take to estimate the mean time to within 1 minute with 90% confidence? Page 2 of 2
