A psychiatrist is interested in finding a 90% confidence interval for the tics per hour exhibited by children with Tourette synd

rome. The data below show the tics in an observed hour for 13 randomly selected children with Tourette syndrome. The population standard deviation is σ=4.08.
Required:
a. To compute the confidence interval use a, z or t distribution?

Answer:

a) z-distribution is used, as we have the standard deviation for the population.

b) Between \overline{x} - 1.86 and \overline{x} + 1.86, in which \overline{x} is the sample mean of tics per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. To compute the confidence interval use a, z or t distribution?

We have the standard deviation for the population, and thus, the z-distribution is used.

b. With 90% confidence the population mean number of tics per hour that children with Tourette syndrome exhibit is between ______ and _______ .

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.05 = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.645\frac{4.08}{\sqrt{13}} = 1.86

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is \overline{x} - 1.86

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is \overline{x} + 1.86

Between \overline{x} - 1.86 and \overline{x} + 1.86, in which \overline{x} is the sample mean of tics per hour.

Answer:

Easter, Christmas, birthdays, and New Year

Step-by-step explanation:

For me, I would choose Easter because before easter we always go to a church and stay there whole night. After 3-4 a.m, we go home and take a nap. But the most fun activity that we do during Easter is playing a game where we pick the best eggs and beat with each other. Later, our parents hide eggs and a couple of toys in the park and me and my siblings begin finding them.
