A public health researcher wishes to study the dietary behavior of residents in Durham County. The researcher randomly contacts 35 county residents and collects data on their daily sugar intake and obtained a sample average of 37.4 grams of sugar per day and a sample standard deviation of 4.2 grams per day. Assume the mean daily sugar intake of all residents in the county is normally distributed. Construct a lower bound for a 95% confidence interval for the mean daily sugar intake of residents in Durham County using this data. (Give your answer to 3 decimal places)

A researcher with North County Transit wishes to estimate the mean one-way commute distance for students who attend Palomar College. She wants to construct a 98% confidence interval for the distance to within 2 miles. How large of a sample must she take? Assume that commute distances are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 10.2 miles.

In a certain rural county, a public health researcher spoke with 238 residents 65-years or older, and 186 of them had obtained a flu shot. The researcher wants to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the percent of the 65-plus population that were getting the flu shot. Do not use StatCrunch. Show all formulas used, work and steps. Be sure to define your variables. As in the reading, in your calculations: --Use z = 1.645 for a 90% confidence interval...

Two researchers conducted a study in which two groups of students were asked to answer 42 trivia questions from a board game. The students in group 1 were asked to spend 5 minutes thinking about what it would mean to be a professor, while the students in group 2 were asked to think about soccer hooligans. These pretest thoughts are a form of priming. The 200 students in group 1 had a mean score of 26.2 with a standard deviation...

1. A hypothetical investigation on rider satisfaction with a particular public transit system serving commuting residents of British California (BC) and Prince Edward’s County (PEC) offers some interesting findings. The proportion of commuters from BC that indicated low satisfaction with the transit system’s service in the 2018 calendar year was 65 percent, and the proportion from PEC was 70 percent. These point estimates were based on samples of 5,380 BC commuters and 6,810 PEC commuters, whose system-using commuters number in...
