2. In a study on low-back pain (LBP), a random sample of 31 workers who suffer from LBP were tested for lateral range of motion (in degrees). The average was found to be 88.3o and sample standard deviation 7.8o. A similar sample of 28 workers who did not suffer from LBP was found to have an average lateral range of motion of 91.5o and sample standard deviation 5.5o. Compute a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the true mean lateral range of motion for the two populations;

3. In the calculation of a 95% confidence interval for the mean of a population, based on a random sample of 15 measurements, it is necessary to use a percentile value from a t-distribution on:

95 degrees of freedom

14 degrees of freedom

15 degrees of freedom

5 degrees of freedom

16 degrees of freedom

1. In a study of academic procrastination, it was determined that for a random sample of 16 undergrad students at a mid-size public university, the mean time spent studying for the final quiz in an intro statistics course was 7.74 hours with a standard deviation of 3.40 hours. Suppose we wish to compute a 95% confidence interval for the mean time spent studying for the intro statistics final quiz by all students. The margin of error for this confidence interval...

A simple random sample of size n=15 is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample mean is found to be x overbar=62 and the sample standard deviation is found to be s=19. Construct a 95​% confidence interval about the population mean. The 95% confidence interval is (_,_). (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Pilots who cannot maintain regular sleep hours due to their work schedule often suffer from insomnia. A recent study on sleeping patterns of pilots focused on quantifying deviations from regular sleep hours. A random sample of 30  commercial airline pilots was interviewed, and the pilots in the sample reported the time at which they went to sleep on their most recent working day. The study gave the sample mean and standard deviation of the times reported by pilots, with these times...

A random sample of 12 shearing pins is taken in a study of the Rockwell hardness of the pin head. Measurements on the Rockwell hardness are made on each of the 12 pins, yielding an average value of 48.50 with a sample standard deviation of 1.5. Let µ be the true mean Rockwell hardness on the pin head. (a) Assuming the measurements to be normally distributed, construct a 90 percent confidence interval for µ. b) Mark as True or False....

In a study of the lifespans of mattresses, a random sample of 63 mattresses were subjected to daily use. For this sample, they found that the average time (in months) before the mattress needed replacement was 16.3, and the standard deviation was 1.3. What is the upper confidence limit for a 95% confidence interval for ?μ, the mean time before mattresses need replacement?
