A random sample of statistics students were asked to estimate the total number of hours they spend watching television in an average week. The responses are recorded in Table . Use this sample data to construct a % confidence interval for the mean number of hours statistics students will spend watching television in one week.

During the 2013 regular NBA season, DeAndre Jordan of the Los Angeles Clippers had the highest field goal completion rate in the league. DeAndre scored with 61.3% of his shots. Suppose you choose a random sample of 80 shots made by DeAndre during the 2013 season. Let X = the number of shots that scored points.
a. What is the probability distribution for X?
b. Using the formulas, calculate the (i) mean and (ii) standard deviation of X.
c. Use your calculator to find the probability that DeAndre scored with 60 of these shots.
d. Find the probability that DeAndre scored with more than 50 of these shots
Announcements for 84 upcoming engineering conferences were randomly picked from a stack of IEEE Spectrum
magazines. The mean length of the conferences was 3.94 days, with a standard deviation of 1.28 days. Assume the
underlying population is normal.
a. In words, define the random variables X and
b. Which distribution should you use for this problem? Explain your choice.
c. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean length of engineering conferences.
I. State the confidence interval.
ii. Sketch the graph.
iii. Calculate the error bound.
In words, define the random variable .
