An elementary school teacher is interested in knowing if there is a significant difference in the average reading speed of fifth-grade boys and girls. She randomly selects 36 fifth grades boys and 36 fifth grade girls for the study. Each student is given several pages of the same book to read and the time it takes them to complete the reading is recorded in minutes. Boys Girls Sample Size 36 36 Sample Mean reading speed (in minutes) 11 12 Population...

Suppose that a manager is interested in estimating the average amount of money customers spend in her store. After sampling 36 transactions at random, she found that the average amount spent was $37.85. She then computed a 99% confidence interval to be between $32.89 and $42.81. Which statement gives a valid interpretation of the interval? O There is a 99% chance that the mean amount spent by all customers is between $32.89 and $42.81. O The store manager is 99%...

The marketing director of a large department store wants to estimate the average number of customers who enter the store every five minutes. She randomly selects five-minute intervals and counts the number of arrivals at the store. She obtains the figures 58, 32, 41, 47, 56, 80, 45, 29, 32, and 78. The analyst assumes the number of arrivals is normally distributed. Using these data, the analyst computes a 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean value for all five-minute...

In examining the credit accounts of a department store, an auditor would like to estimate the true mean account error (book value – audited value). To do so, the auditor selected a random sample of 50 accounts and found the mean account error to be $60 with a standard deviation of $30. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean account error. What conclusion can be made from this confidence interval? b. How large a sample is actually...

1) Suppose a researcher is interested in understanding the variation in the price of store brand milk. A random sample of 36 grocery stores selected from a population and the mean price of store brand milk is calculated. The sample mean is $3.13 with a population standard deviation of $0.23. Construct a 92% confidence interval to estimate the population mean. 2) Construct 90%, 95%, and 99% confidence intervals to estimate μfrom the following data. State the point estimate. Assume the...

At a large grocery store, based on a sample of size 15 , the cashier error has a sample mean of 27.6 dollars per day and a standard deviation of 5.0 dollars. Find a 87% confidence interval for the population cashier error. You may assume that the cashier errors are normally distributed. Answer: We are 87% confident that the true population mean of cashier error lies somewhere between and

Hypothesis Testing with One Population The credit manager of a discount department store believes that the average age of his charge account customers is less than 40 years. A random sample of 100 charge account customers revealed an average age of 36 years and a standard deviation of 10 years. Do these data provide sufficient evidence to support the credit manager's belief? (Use 95% confidence)
