Students in a representative sample of 65 first-year students selected from a large university in England participated in a study of academic procrastination. Each student in the sample completed the Tuckman Procrastination Scale, which measures procrastination tendencies. Scores on this scale can range from 16 to 64, with scores over 40 indicating higher levels of procrastination. For the 65 first-year students in this study, the mean score on the procrastination scale was 36.7 and the standard deviation was 6.49.
(a) Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of μ, the mean procrastination scale for first-year students at this college. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

In a study of academic procrastination, the authors of a paper
reported that for a sample of 421 undergraduate students at a
midsize public university preparing for a final exam in an
introductory psychology course, the mean time spent studying for
the exam was 7.54 hours and the standard deviation of study times
was 3.40 hours. For purposes of this exercise, assume that it is
reasonable to regard this sample as representative of students
taking introductory psychology at this university....

A student group claims that first year students at a university
must study 2.5 hours per night during the

these students as a random sample
of all first-year students and suppose we know that study times
follow a Normal distribution with
standard deviation of 65 minutes. Is there evidence that...
