Unit 7 — Inference for Quantitative Data: Means ‘Name: Ke 4 HW 1 Cl for Means F)__1) which ofthe following statements are true? 1. One sample z intervals for means are constructed when we know the population standard deviation. IL. The t-distribution is similar to the standard normal distribution for small values of n. IIL. The central limit theorem tells us that the t-distribution will be approximately normal for smal! values of n_ (C) land HL only (D) I only (E) Wonly f ) _ 2) A.95% confidence interval estimate for a population mean jt is (23, 45). Which of the following is a ‘true statement? (A) There is 0.95 probability that 1 is between 23 and 45. @)It 95% confidence intervals are calculated from all possible samples of the given size, u will be in 95% of ‘these intervals. (C)§ 1 95% confidence intervals are calculated from all possible samples of the given size, 95% of them will be (23, 45). (D) We are 95% confidence that the interval from (23, 45) contains the sample mean (E) The margin of error of this confidence interval is 22. A 3) Last year’s AP Statistics class contained 25 students, The class got an average of 71 on the final ‘exam with a sample standard deviation of 4.4. If we assume that this class represents a random sample of all ‘students who have taken AP Statistics and that final exam scores for the population are normally distributed, which of the following is the 96% confidence interval for the truc population mean of all AP Statistics students? 1+ 1.9096, xX = B71 + 1.6016 .

She has a “fun-size” bar every night after dinner. She recently began to wonder, after learning about it in AP Statistics, if the claim on the candy was correct. The wrapper says that the candy is 10 oz in weight. Ariel selected an §R. of 30 milky way fun size bars and weighs them. She creates a 90% confidence interval for the true mean weight of the candy bars: (8.92, 10.98). (a) What is the point estimate from this sample?4.9.5. £59-1058 (6) What is the margin oferor? |O3 — 9.95-8.q9. (c) Interpret the 90% confidence interval in the context of the problem. We are 10% confident thot the true mean weight of OWN Fun size Milky Ways are between BIQ0z ard 10.93 02. (d) Interpret the confidence level of 90% in the context of the problem. Tf we were to repeotedly take SRSs of 30 Crom this same population of Milky Wang Candy bars , 704 of the confidence. intervals we Construct will Correctly Capture the true meon weight of fun size Milky Ways.6) A small business owner you follow on TikTok is SO EXCITED because last month, she was able to begin selling her product in a popular chain store around the nation. Her contract with the chain store says that at any ‘time, there will be at least 20 of her products sitting out on the shelves. She wants to conduct a survey to see if ‘that is true. She visits 5 of the local chain stores around her and records the number of products of hers that are ‘on the shelves. She will then construct a 95% confidence interval to determine the mean number of products on the shelves for all of the stores. (a) Discuss whether this study meets the each of the conditions for constructing a confidence interval. If one of ‘the conditions has not been met, what additional information would be required or what change in the study would you recommend? Random : This condition. 1S not met b/c She does a Convenience Sample She would Need totake am SRS from Qist of all the Stores. 4 ld have ta bt: T£ she Selects 5 Shores, you won To dependen Bo stores inthe fNatiarr to ‘satisfy independence. have over aneee fy independ . : ulation iS Non Normal so 1 30, She wou Nor to ee Peper her sample data has no outliess or Strong SRewheSs (b) If, instead of constructing a 95% confidence interval, the business owner constructed a 98% confidence interval, would the 98% interval be wider, narrower, or the same width as the 95% interval? Explain. The interval would be wider, with more Confidence , comes a larger interval to Capture more Potential Values. (©) How would the width of confidence interval change if she took a larger sample? Explain. Fi larger sample would result in & Smaller Standard ecrot, which would lead to a Narrower con fidence interval.7) A fitness magazine is interested in determining the average weight of a 25-year-old female. To estimate this average, they decide to create a 95% confidence interval estimate. The obtain a random sample of 25-year-old female weights: 185, 190, 195, 200, 205, 205, 210, 210, 225, 230. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of all 25-year-old females.
