The average adult is supposed to get 8 hours of sleep a night. A "sleep habits" survey answered by 28 randomly selected New Yorkers contained the question "How much sleep do you get per night?" The sample average was 7.75 hours, with a corresponding sample standard deviation of 0.8 hours. Conduct a hypothesis test to see if there is evidence that New Yorkers (who live, after all, in "the city that never sleeps") on average get less than 8 hours...

A survey was conducted to determine whether hours of sleep per night are independent of age. A sample of individuals was asked to indicate the number of hours of sleep per night with categorical options: fewer than 6 hours, 6 to 6.9 hours, 7 to 7.9 hours, and 8 hours or more. Later in the survey, the individuals were asked to indicate their age with categorical options: age 39 or younger and age 40 or older. Sample data follow Age...

A professor at a university wants to estimate the average number of hours of sleep students get during exam week. On the first day of exams, she asked 27 students how many hours they had slept the night before. The average of the sample was 3.79 with a standard deviation of 1.224. When estimating the average amount of sleep with a 99% confidence interval, what is the margin of error? 1) 0.3549 2) 0.6546 3) 0.5839 4) 0.2356 5) 0.6527
