A teacher is interested in the average family income of students at his university. He randomly selected 17 students and obtained their family incomes. The distribution of family incomes is normal. The average family income of the 17 students was $110,525. Assume the population standard deviation is $15,580.
a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the average family income of students at her university.
b) Interpret your interval in context.
Homework Answers
Answer #1
Given :- 17 student are selected and
There average family income = $110525
Standard deviation =$15580
Solution:-
A)
Since significant value of Z at 95% confidence coefficient is 1.96
Therefore, 95% confidence interval is given as
=(103118.74 , 117931.262)
B)
therefore , 95% confidence interval for the average family income of students in university is lie between 103118.74 to 117931.26.

Determine whether the following statement is true or false.
A college student was interested in the average amount college
students at his university spend on entertainment each week. He
randomly sampled 200 students and found the following 95%
confidence interval: ($24, $28). This confidence interval means
that a randomly selected college student at his university will
spend between $24 and $28 on entertainment 95% of the weeks
during his/her college career.
This statement is
a) true
b) false

A group of university students are interested in comparing the
average age of cars owned by students and the average age of cars
owned by faculty. They randomly selected 25 cars that are own by
students and 20 cars that are owned by faculty. The average age and
standard deviation obtained from the students’ cars are 6.78 years
and 5.21 years, respectively. The sample of faculty cars produced a
mean and a standard deviation of 5.86 years, and 2.72.

Researchers are interested in the average length of men in a
large population. They randomly select 40 men from the population
and measure their lengths to get
average of 175 (cm). Scientists also know in advance that the
lengths are approximately normal in standard deviation σ = 20
(cm).
(a) Determine a 95% confidence interval for the average length of
men for the entire population.
(b) Determine the corresponding estimate at 99% confidence
level.

An irate student complained that the cost of his statistics
textbook was too high. He randomly surveyed 37 students and found

these students is $122 with a standard deviation of $7.
(a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the actual average
cost of statistics textbooks.
(b) A statistics professor claims that the average cost of the
textbook for her statistics class is $105. What would you tell
