On March 28 at 1:30 pm, the actual average number of cases in a U.S. state was 2102. Does this value fall in the interval you found in question 1. Discuss why or why not, and the reason you found the result you did.
Note: Here is Question 1 (On March 28 at 1:30 pm, I randomly selected 10 states and found the number of coronavirus cases in each of them. This gave me an average of 939 cases with a standard deviation of 1543. Assume the number of cases in each state is normally distributed. Create a 90% confidence interval for the actual number of coronavirus cases in each state.)

Question 2. (30 Points): A random sampe of 30 households was selected as part of a study on electricity usage, and the number of kilowatt-hours (kWh) was recorded for each household in the sample for the March quarter of 2006. The average usage was found to be 375 kWh. In a very large study in the March quarter of the previous year it was found that the standard deviation of the usage was 81 kWh. (a) 10 points Assuming the...
The histogram displays the number of 2007 births among U.S.
women ages 1010 to 5050. Each bin represents an interval of two
years, and the height of each bin represents the frequency with
which the data fall within that interval.
Use the provided histogram to answer questions about the number
of births for each age group.
1) How many births occurred among women over the age of
4040?
number of births:

2) What percentage of births occurred among women...
The average student loan debt of a U.S. college student at the end of 4 years of college is estimated to be about $22,800. You take a random sample of 40 college students in the state of Vermont. The debt for these students is found in the table below. We want to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean debt for all Vermont college students. You will need software to answer these questions. You should be able to copy...

1. A random sample of 30 boxes of bolts was purchased at a local hardware store and the average number of bolts per box was 52. It is known that the population standard deviation of bolts per box is 6 bolts. a Is this a z or t-distribution? Why? b. Find and interpret a 95% confidence interval to estimate the average number of bolts per box for all boxes in the population. Round to 3 decimal places. C What would...

You are curious about the average number of yards Matthew Stafford throws for each game for the Detroit Lions. You randomly select 23 games and see that the average yards per game is 344.5 with a standard deviation of 27.8 yards. You want to create a 95% confidence interval for the true average number of yards per game he throws. What is the margin of error for this estimate?

1. In 1991 the average interest rate charged by U.S. credit card issuers was 18.8 percent. A financial officer wishes to study whether the increased competition in the credit card business has reduced interest rates. To do this, the officer will test a hypothesis about the current mean interest rate, , charged by all U.S. credit card issuers. To perform the hypothesis, the officer randomly selects n = 15 credit cards and obtains the sample mean interest rate 16.8 percent...
