Chapter 8: Q 76. (page 542)

A school of fish Refer to Exercise 74.

a. Explain why it was necessary to inspect a graph of the sample data when checking the Normal/Large Sample condition.

b. According to the packaging, there are supposed to be 330goldfish in each bag of crackers. Based on the interval, is there convincing evidence that the average number of goldfish is less than 330? Explain your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. This because sample size is small.

b. No evidence is present that average number of goldfish is less than330

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given data is:317,330,325,323,332,337,324,342,330,349,335,330

02

Necessity of inspecting graph

Sample data consists of 12<30values. To make sure that normal/large condition is satisfied, inspecting graph of sample data is important.

03

Checking if there is evidence that average goldfish is <330

Output using excel is:

Required confidence interval is 325.596<渭<336.738.

The upper limit is higher than 330.

There is no evidence that average goldfish is less than330

Bone loss by nursing mothers Breast-feeding mothers secrete calcium into

their milk. Some of the calcium may come from their bones, so mothers may lose bone mineral. Researchers measured the percent change in bone mineral content (BMC) of the spines of 47randomly selected mothers during three months of breast-feeding. The mean change in BMC was 鈭�3.587%and the standard deviation was 2.506%

a. Construct and interpret a 99%confidence interval to estimate the mean percent change in BMC in the population of breast-feeding mothers.

b. Based on your interval from part (a), do these data give convincing evidence that

nursing mothers lose bone mineral, on average? Explain your answer.

BlinkWhen two lights close together blink alternately, we 鈥渟ee鈥� one light moving back and forth if the time between blinks is short. What is the longest interval of time between blinks that preserves the illusion of motion? Ask subjects to turn a knob that slows the blinking until they 鈥渟ee鈥� two lights rather than one light moving. A report gives the results in the form 鈥渕ean plus or minus the standard error of the mean.鈥� Data for 12subjects are summarized as 251卤45(in milliseconds).

a. Find the sample standard deviation SXfor these measurements.

b. A hasty reader believes that the interval given in the report is a 95%confidence interval for the population mean. Find the actual confidence level for the given interval.

Fruit fly thorax lengths Fruit flies are used frequently in genetic research because of their quick reproductive cycle. The length of the thorax (in millimeters) was measured for each fly in a random sample of 49male fruit flies. The mean length was x炉=0.8004mm, with a standard deviation of sX=0.0782mmmm. Construct and interpret a 90%confidence interval for the true mean thorax length of a male fruit fly.

How confident? The figure shows the result of taking 25SRSs from a Normal population and constructing a confidence interval for the population mean using each sample. Which confidence level鈥�80%,90%,95%,or99%鈥攄o you think was used? Explain your reasoning.

The weights (in pounds) of three adult males are160,215and195. What is the standard error of the mean for these data?

a. 190

b. 27.84

c. 22.73

d. 16.07

e.13.13
