Clinical literature reports that the duration of a typical cold is roughly 18 days. Researchers wanted to know if people tend to

underestimate the duration of a typical cold, on average. They surveyed a random sample of 352 healthy adults in Georgia and asked them how long they think that a typical cold lasts. The researchers reported a 95% confidence interval of 6.9 to 8.2 days for the mean expected duration of typical cold. The researchers reported that the answers to this question were strongly right-skewed. The 95% confidence interval (6.9, 8.2) they obtained is

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval (6.9, 8.2) they obtained means that "We are 95% confident that the population mean duration is between 6.9 and 8.2 days".

Option B from the complete Question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval for the population mean is basically an interval of range of values where the true population mean can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)

Critical value will be obtained using the t-distribution if there is no information provided for the population standard deviation and it is obtained from the z-tables if the population standard deviation is known or the sample size is large enough that the sample properties can be approximated to be the same as the population properties.

Standard error of the mean = σₓ = (σ/√n)

σ = standard deviation of the sample

n = sample size

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)]

So, the confidence interval (6.9, 8.2) obtained in the question means that "We are 95% confident that the population mean duration is between 6.9 and 8.2 days".

Hope this Helps!!!

lisabon 2012 [21]
You multpily the length and the width to find the area of a shape. If the square is 3ft wide, then the square is also 3 ft long if the area is 9.
so, how tall is it?
3 ft. I meant rectangle. Its still the same for the height.
