Bob Nale is the owner of Nale’s Quick Fill. Bob would like to estimate the mean number of gallons of gasoline sold to his customers. Assume the number of gallons sold follows the normal distribution with a population standard deviation of 1.80 gallons. From his records, he selects a random sample of 80 sales and finds the mean number of gallons sold is 6.90. What is the point estimate of the population mean? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Develop a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. (Use z Distribution Table.) (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
You collected a sample from a population which you realized has very high standarddeviation. You want to estimate the population parameter from this sample. You thinkthat your interval will be very wide, what you can do to narrow it down without changingyour confidence level. Will your suggestion to improve the width of the interval increasethe probability of the true mean lying in that interval?
ou would like to get the highest paying job possible after graduating from UCR and are currently deciding vhether to enroll in ECON 108 in the fall term or not. You find a sample of recent UCR graduates that majc n Economics (there are no double majors in the samples). You sampled 100 Economics majors that took ECON 108 and you find that the average starting salary is 72K dollars, with a sample standard deviation of 10K dollars. You sampled 75 Economics majors that did not take ECON 108 and you find that the average starting salary is 65K dollars, with a sample standard deviation of 15K dollars. Which of the following statements is most correct? O I am not very confident in the results of my hypothesis test because the range in which I fail to reject the null hypothesis is relatively large. O I want to be very confident in the results of my hypothesis test, so the range in which I fail to reject the null hypothesis is relatively large. O The range in which I fail to reject is small, so…
A simple random sample of 8 employees of a corporation provided the following information. Employee Age Gender 1 2 3 21 37 26 W M W 4 5 6 7 8 44 48 50 25 22 W W M M M (a) Determine the point estimate for the average age of all employees. (b) What is the point estimate for the standard deviation of the population? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) Determine a point estimate for the proportion of all employees who are female.
a. 36 Out of 100 persons interviewed are familiar with the tax incentive given by the governmenti for installing solar panel, construct 96% confidence interval for true proportion. b. The average wages of 25 employees of a company are RS. 2500 with standard deviation of Rs. 250. Assuming wages to be normally distributed, calculate 98% confidence upper bound for the average wages and interpret it.
Suppose a baker wants to know, on average, how many pastries they sell in a day. They sampled over 4 days. On the first day they sold 10, on the second day they sold 12, on the third day they sold 18, and on the fourth day they sold 16. The population standard deviation of pastry sales is 3. What is the point estimate (average) number of pastries sold? 26 08 056 O 14 Nex
Question 1 It is necessarý for an automobile producer to test the hypothesis that the mean number of miles per gallon achieved by its cars is 28 against the alternative hypothesis that it is not 28. The standard deviation of the number of miles per gallon achieved by the company's cars is 6. Suppose that the mean number of miles per gallon for a sample of 100 cars is 26.2. On the basis of this result, should the company reject the hypothesis that the population mean is 28? Why, or why not? Use a=0.05.
A random sample of eight homes in a particular suburb had the following selling prices (in thousands of dollars): 192 183 312 227 309 396 402 390 a. Check for evidence of nonnormality. b. Find a point estimate of the population mean that is unbiased and efficient. c. Use an unbiased estimation procedure to find a point estimate of the variance of the sample mean. (Hint: Use sample standard deviation to estimate population standard deviation). d. Use an unbiased estimator to estimate the proportion of homes in this suburb selling for less than $250,000.
A random sample of 100 observations from a normally distributed population possesses a mean equal to 82.8 and a standard deviation equal to 8.8. Use this information to complete parts a through e below. a. Find a 90% confidence interval for u. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) b. What do you mean when you say that a confidence coefficient is 0.90? O A. A confidence coefficient of 0.90 means that there is a probability of 0.90 that an interval estimator constructed using this coefficient will contain all of the values in the relevant sample. O B. A confidence coefficient of 0.90 means that 90% of the values in the population will be contained in an interval estimator constructed using this coefficient. O C. A confidence coefficient of 0.90 means that there is a probability of 0.90 that an interval estimator constructed using this coefficient will enclose the population parameter. D. A confidence coefficient of 0.90 means that 90% of the values in any sample taken from the…
Suppose the amount of change IWU students carry is exponentially distributed with a mean of $0.88. Suppose that we randomly pick 25 IWU students and learn how much change they have. What type of distribution does the population, which is the change carried by IWU students, follow? What are the mean and standard deviation of the population? (6 points) What type of distribution does the sample mean follow? What are the mean and standard deviation of the sample mean? (6 points) Find the probability that the average change of 25 IWU students was between $0.80 and $1.00. Graph the situation, shade in the area to be determined, and find the probability. (6 points)
The standard deviation of the scores on a skill evaluation test is 363 points with a mean of 1239 points. If 335 tests are sampled, what is the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 23 points? Round your answer to four decimal places.
