Which distribution should you use for this problem?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The distribution required for this problem is t distribution with parameterstn-1

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given in the question that, One hundred eight Americans were surveyed to determine the number of hours they spend watching television each month.

We have to find which distribution should you use for this problem?

02

Explanation

They watched an average of 151hours per month on average, with a standard variation of 32hours. Assume that the population distribution is normally distributed. Because there are 108Americans in the poll.

So, the distribution is t108-1=t107

Using the same x炉 , sx , and level of confidence, suppose that nwere 69 instead of 39. Would the error bound become larger or smaller? How do you know?

Construct a 99%confidence interval for the population mean hours spent watching television per month.

(a) State the confidence interval

(b) sketch the graph, and

(c) calculate the error bound.

The mean age for all Foothill College students for a recent Fall term was 33.2. The population standard deviation has been pretty consistent at 15. Suppose that twenty-five Winter students were randomly selected. The mean age for the sample was 30.4. We are interested in the true mean age for Winter Foothill College students. Let X=the age of a Winter Foothill College student.

As a result of your answer to Exercise 8.26, state the exact distribution to use when calculating the confidence interval.

The Ice Chalet offers dozens of different beginning iceskating classes. All of the class names are put into a bucket. The 5 P.M., Monday night, ages 8 to 12, beginning ice-skating class was picked. In that class were 64 girls and 16 boys. Suppose that we are interested in the true proportion of girls, ages 8 to 12, in all beginning ice-skating classes at the Ice Chalet. Assume that the children in the selected class are a random sample of the population.

You do a study of hypnotherapy to determine how effective it is in increasing the number of hours of sleep subjects get each night. You measure hours of sleep for 12subjects with the following results. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of hours slept for the population (assumed normal) from which you took the data. 8.2; 9.1; 7.7; 8.6; 6.9; 11.2; 10.1; 9.9; 8.9; 9.2; 7.5; 10.5
