A survey is being planned to determine the average amount of time preschool children watch television. A pilot survey indicated that the mean time per week is 12 hours, with a standard deviation of 3 hours. It is desired to estimate the mean viewing time within one-quarter hour. The 0.95 degree of confidence is to be used. How do you calculate how many preschool children should be surveyed? Why is it important to make sure your sample size is sufficient?

We have the survey data on the body mass index (BMI) of 645 young women. The mean BMI in the sample was X = 28.5. We treated these data as an SRS from a Normally distributed population with standard deviation o = 7.5. Give confidence intervals for the mean BMI and the margins of error for 90%, 95%, and 99% confidence. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

A random sample of 88 women showed that the mean number of children reported was 1.58 with a standard deviation of 1.8. (interestingly, a sample of 88 men showed a mean of 1.3 children.) Complete parts (a) through (c) below EEB Click the lcon to view the ttable. Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean number of children for women. Because the sample size is so large, you can use 1.96 for the critical value of t (which...

A soccer ball manufacturer wants to estimate the mean circumference of soccer balls within 0.17 inch (a) Determine the minimum sample size required to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean. Assume the population standard deviation is 07 inch (b) The sample mean is 27.9 inches. With a sample size of 121, a 99% level of confidence, and a population standard deviation of 0.7 inch, does it seem possible that the population mean could be less than 28...

A psychologist is interested in the mean IQ score of a given group of children. It is known that the IQ scores of the group have a standard deviation of 10. The psychologist randomly selects 80 children from this group and finds that their mean IQ score is 111. Based on this sample, find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean IQ score for all children of this group. Then complete the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to...
