8. (3pt) ROUND TO ONE DECIMAL PLACE Doctor Visit Costs An irate patient complained that the cost of a doctor's visit was too high. She randomly surveyed 20 other patients and found that the mean amount of money they spent on each doctor's visit was $44.80. The standard deviation of the sample was $3.53. Find a point estimate of the population mean. Find the 95% confidence interval of the population mean. Assume the variable is normally distributed. Also, find the...

5. A hospital is studying the amount of time that patients spend waiting in the emergency room before they are called back to see a doctor. A committee conducts a random survey of 65 emer- gency room patients. The sample mean is 1.6 hours with a sample standard deviation of 0.45 hours. (a) Use your calculator to find a 90% confidence interval for the population mean time spent waiting. Briefly explain what keys you used. (b) What is the error...

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...
