Assume that with a sample size of 17 you conduct a test on a population mean with unknown standard deviation. What should the degrees of freedom of T0 be?
Suppose that a sample of size 10 is selected from a population with unknown variance. If this information is used to construct a confidence interval for a single population mean, which of the following statements is true? Select the best answer. The sample of size 10 must be normally distributed. The standard normal distribution must be used to construct the confidence interval. The sample mean cannot be used as a point estimate for the population mean because the sample size...
Suppose you take a random sample of 30 individuals from a large population. For this sample, the sample mean is 4.2 and sample variance is 49. You wish to estimate the unknown population mean µ. (a) Calculate a 90% confidence interval for µ. (b) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for µ. (c) Based on (a) and (b), comment on what happens to the width of a confidence interval (increase/decrease) when you increase your confidence level. (d) Suppose your sample size...

x, and S1 are the sample mean and sample variance from a population with mean μ| and variance ơf. Similarly, X2 and S1 are the sample mean and sample variance from a second population with mean μ and variance σ2.
