QUESTION 25 Suppose professor finds that for 16 randomly selected students the time needed to complete an assignment had a sample mean of 65 minutes and a sample standard deviation of 40 minutes. The 98% confidence interval estimate for the population mean is: QUESTION 26 After estimating the interval in the previous question, we can interpret it as: a. We are 98% confident that the sample mean falls into the estimated interval. b. We are 98% confident that the estimated...

1.   Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich reported that the mean temperature of humans is 98.6F. To test this long-held belief about the average body temperature, medical researchers measured the temperature of 36 randomly selected healthy adults. The sample data resulted in a sample mean of 98.2F and a sample standard deviation of 0.6F. Assuming that the population is normal, test whether the mean temperature of humans is different from 98.6F at the 5% significance level. To gain full credit, you should...
