A counselor at a large high school wants to estimate the mean amount of sleep μ that students got the previous night. She select

s a random sample of 10 students and asks them to record the number of hours they slept last night. Based on this sample, the 95% confidence interval for the population mean amount of sleep for all students at the high school is (5.39, 7.81) hours. (a) Interpret the confidence interval. (b) What is the point estimate that was used to create the interval? What is the margin of error? (c) It is recommended that high school students get 8 hours or more of sleep each night. Based on this survey, the students claim that, on average, students at this high school are not getting the recommended amount of sleep. Use the confidence interval to evaluate this claim.

According to the given confidence interval, we have that:

a) It means that we are 95% sure that the population mean amount of sleep for all students at the high school is between 5.39 and 7.81 hours.

b) The point estimate is of 6.6 hours, with a margin of error of 1.21 hours.

c) Since the entire confidence interval is below 8 hours, it is found that there is enough evidence to conclude that the students at this high school are not getting the recommended amount of sleep.

<h3>What is the interpretation of a x% confidence interval?</h3>

It means that we are x% confident that the population parameter(mean/proportion/standard deviation) is between a and b.

Additionally, from an interval (a,b), we have that:

  • The point estimate is \frac{a + b}{2}.
  • The margin of error is of \frac{b - a}{2}.

Item a:

It means that we are 95% sure that the population mean amount of sleep for all students at the high school is between 5.39 and 7.81 hours.

Item b:

The <em>point estimate</em> is:

\frac{5.39 + 7.81}{2} = 6.6

The <em>margin of error</em> is:

\frac{7.81 - 5.39}{2} = 1.21

The point estimate is of 6.6 hours, with a margin of error of 1.21 hours.

Item c:

Since the entire confidence interval is below 8 hours, it is found that there is enough evidence to conclude that the students at this high school are not getting the recommended amount of sleep.

Timothy evaluated the expression using x = 3<br> and y = –4.<br><br> xy-2<br> 3x2y−4
Leviafan [203]
The expression xy-2, when x=3 and y= -4, becomes    (3)(-4)-2, or -14 (answer)

the expresion 3x^2*y - 4 becomes 3(3)^2*(-4) - 4, or 27(-4) - 4, or -108 - 4 = -112 (answer)

Leave Timmy out of this, since it seems he didn't really do anything.    ;)

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

The height appear to be reported because there are disproportionately more 0s and 5s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 3 3 3 4 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 6 8 8 8 9

Creating a frequency table :

Last digit ______ Frequency

0 ______________ 9

1 _______________ 1

2 _______________1

3 _______________3

4 _______________ 1

5 _______________11

6 _______________ 1

8 _______________ 3

9 ________________1

From the frequency distribution table, it could be seen that the volumeof 5's and 0's are far more than the volume of the other digits. We could infer from this numbers were reported and not measured.
