Get started for freeNAEP scores Refer to Exercise 5. Below your sketch, choose one value of inside the shaded region and draw its corresponding confidence interval. Do the same for one value of outside the shaded region. What is the most important difference between these intervals?
Got shoes? How many pairs of shoes, on average, do female teens have? To find out, an AP Statistics class conducted a survey. They selected an SRS of female students from their school. Then they recorded the number of pairs of shoes that each student reported having. Here are the data:
Velvetleaf is a particularly annoying weed in cornfields. It produces lots of seeds, and the seeds wait in the soil for years until conditions are right for sprouting. How many seeds do velvetleaf plants produce? The Fathom histogram below shows the counts from plants that came up in a cornfield when no herbicide was used. Explain why it would not be wise to use a one-sample interval to estimate the mean number of seeds produced by velvetleaf plants.
Teens" online profiles Describe a possible source of error that is not included in the margin of error for the confidence interval in Exercise 36
The company’s customer satisfaction survey.
In the company’s prior-year survey, 80% of customers surveyed said they were “satisfied” or “very satisfied.” Using this value as a guess for pˆ, find the sample size needed for a margin of error of 3% at a 95% confidence level.
