The data in the Table are the result of a random survey of national flags (with replacement between picks) from various countries. We are interested in finding a confidence interval for the true mean number of colors on a national flag. Let the number of colors on a national flag.
Construct a localid="1648450905983" confidence interval for the true mean number of colors on national flags.
Fill in the blanks on the graph with the areas, the upper and lower limits of the Confidence Interval and the sample mean.
The Ice Chalet offers dozens of different beginning iceskating classes. All of the class names are put into a bucket. The 5 P.M., Monday night, ages 8 to 12, beginning ice-skating class was picked. In that class were 64 girls and 16 boys. Suppose that we are interested in the true proportion of girls, ages 8 to 12, in all beginning ice-skating classes at the Ice Chalet. Assume that the children in the selected class are a random sample of the population.
In words, define the random variable X.
The mean age for all Foothill College students for a recent Fall term was . The population standard deviation has been pretty consistent at . Suppose that twenty-five Winter students were randomly selected. The mean age for the sample was . We are interested in the true mean age for Winter Foothill College students. Let the age of a Winter Foothill College student.
