The mean height of women in a country (ages 20−29) is 63.9 inches. A random sample of 60 women in this age group is selected. What is the probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 65 inches? Assume σ=2.84. The probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 65 inches is nothing.

Do pregnant women give birth the week of their due date? A study claims that 18% of the population of all pregnant women actually gave birth the week of their due date. You are a researcher who wants to test this claim, so you will select a random sample of 80 women who have recently given birth. Follow the steps below to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population proportion of all pregnant women who gave birth the week of their due date. Then state whether the confidence interval you construct contradicts the study's claim. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results from the random sample. Number Proportion Take Sample Gave birth the week of due date 28 0.35 Did not give birth the week of due date 52 0.65 Enter the values of the sample size, the point estimate of the population proportion, and the critical value you need for your 99% confidence interval. (Choose the correct critical value from the table of critical values…
