Problems 1 - 2
A sample of 150 college students at a large university reports getting an average of 6.55 hours of sleep last night with a standard deviation o
f 1.82 hours.
    1.    Use a t distribution to construct a 98% confidence interval for the average amount of sleep students at this university got last night. Use two decimal places in your margin of error. Use Stat Tests T Interval.
    
        A) 4.73 to 8.97 hours
        B) 6.14 to 7.96 hours
        C) 5.32 to 8.14 hours
        D) 6.20 to 6.90 hours
    
Confidence interval = Mean ±t crit *se = 6.55±2.351635*(1.82)/sqrt 150 = (6.20, 6.90)
Option D
    2.    Suppose you want to conduct a similar study at your university. Assuming that the standard deviation of this sample is a reasonable estimate of the standard deviation of sleep time at your university, how many students do you need to survey to estimate the mean sleep time of students at your university with 95% confidence and a margin of error of 0.8 hours? Use Z = 1.96.
         A) 18 students
         B) 23 students
C) 20 students
          D) 15 students
                                            
Margin of error = 0.8=1.96*1.82/(sqrt n)    
So n >20
Option C
Problems 3 – 5:
November 6, 2012 was election day. Many of the major television networks aired coverage of the incoming election results during the primetime hours. The provided boxplot displays the amount of time (in minutes) spent watching election coverage for a random sample of 20 U.S. adults. In this sample, the average time spent watching election coverage was 81.44 minutes with standard deviation of 42.33...
