The librarian at the local elementary school claims that, on average, the books in the library are more than 20 years old. To test this claim, a student takes a sample of n=30 books and records the publication date for each. The sample produces an average age of M=23.8 years with a variance of s^2 = 67.5. Use this sample to conduct a one-tailed test with a=.01 to determine whether the average age of the library books in significantly greater...

A random sample of adults were asked whether they prefer reading an e-book over a printed book. The survey resulted in a sample proportion of p̂ =0.14, with a sampling standard deviation of σp̂ =0.02, who preferred reading an e-book. Use the Empirical Rule to construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of adults who prefer e-books.
