QUESTION 1 Tamiflu is a drug used to treat influenza. A study found that Tamiflu reduced symptom duration an average of 0.85 days in otherwise healthy (i.e., not high risk) individuals. The researchers reported a 95% confidence interval for the reduction in symptom duration of 0.3 to 1.4 days. Which is a correct interpretation of this result? Choose all that apply. A. There is a 95% chance that the true mean reduction in symptom duration is between 0.3 and 1.4...

Dungeness crab can be found along the northeastern Pacific coast, from California to Alaska, and are an important commercial commodity in this region. Santiago finds the harvest of Dungeness crabs for a SRS of 35 years. It is known that σ = 5.10 million pounds. Santiago's sample has a mean of x̅ = 9.05 million pounds. Use this information to construct a 95% confidence interval. (This problem inspired by data from the Quantitative Environmental Learning Project at http://www.seattlecentral.edu/qelp/sets/062/062.html) a. State the...

American women is 139 ± 1.4 pounds. (7 points total) a. When asked to interpret this confidence interval, a student says, “95% of all adult American women would say that their ideal weight is between 137.6 and 140.4 pounds.” Is the student correct? (yes or no) (2 points) b. Another student interprets the confidence interval this way: “We can be 95% confident that future samples of adult American women will say that their mean ideal weight is between 137.6 and...
