The Student Recreation Center wanted to determine what sort of
physical activity was preferred by students. In a survey of 95
students, 62 indicated that they preferred outdoor exercise over
exercising in a gym. When estimating the proportion of all students
at the university who prefer outdoor exercise with 99% confidence,
what is the margin of error?

2. Suppose that a random sample of 41 state college students is asked to measure the length of their right foot in centimeters. A 90% confidence interval for the mean foot length for students at this university turns out to be (21.709, 25.091). If we now calculated a 95% confidence interval, would the new confidence interval be wider than or narrower than or the same as the original? b. Suppose two researchers want to estimate the proportion of American college...

14. Randomly selected students participated in an experiment to
test their ability to determine when one minute (or sixty
seconds) has passed. Forty students yielded a sample mean of 61.8
seconds. Assuming that σ=9.2 seconds, construct and interpret a
95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean of all
students.
What is the 95% confidence interval for the population mean
μ?
____<μ<____
(Type integers or decimals rounded to one decimal place as
needed.)

a) Approximately 500 students take a particular college statistics course each year. As an exercise, each of the 500 students in the class is given a different random sample of the previous year's 500 final grades (in percentages) and asked to construct a 95% interval estimate of the previous year's overall average. Which of the following statements is correct? About 475 of the confidence intervals will contain the actual overall average for the previous year. It is probable that 475...

7. You want to estimate the mean weight loss of people one year after using a popular weight-loss (1 point) program being advertised on TV. How many people on that program must be surveyed if we want to be 95% confident that the sample mean weight loss is within 0.25 ib of the true population mean? Assume that the population standard deviation is known to be 10.6 lb. 6907 0 4865 O 84 O6906 3. Given the standard deviation of...

university. The two of you compete in almost everything! One day,
your friend boasted that students at her university are taller than
the students at yours. You each gather a random sample of heights
of people from your respective campuses. Your data are displayed

Q3: Practice building Confidence Intervals For each scenario, take the sample data and build up the specified confidence interval for the specified population parameter. a. Scenario: You want to know the average number of calories you consume per day. Over the next 5 months you randomly select 25 days and carefully record your consumption on those days (assume that you don't change your eating habits) Build an 80% confidence interval for your average daily consumption of calories if the following...
