A marine biologist wants to estimate the average weight of a population of dolphins living in a certain region of the ocean. The biologist will collect a random sample of dolphins and use the sample weights to create the estimate Which of the following is an appropriate method for the biologist to use for inference to the population? A A one-sample t-interval for a population mean B A one-sample t-interval for a sample mean C A one-sample 2-interval for a population proportion D A matched-pairs t-interval for a mean difference E A two-sample t-interval for a difference between means Log in to add comment jordanmcdevitt8545 is waiting for your help.

Select a sample of 2 observations. 1. Prove that the mean of the sample mean equals the population mean. 2. Prove that the variance of the sample mean equals the population variance divided by n. 3. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. See answers (1) miqb24 asked 05/07/2020 A sociologist is studying the social media habits of high school students in a school district. The sociologist wants to estimate the average total number of minutes spent on social media per day in the population. A random sample of 50 high school students was selected, and they were asked, "How many minutes per day, on average, do you spend visiting social media sites?" Which of the following is the most appropriate inference procedure for the sociologist to use? A one-sample z-interval for a population proportion A A one-sample t-interval for a population mean B A matched-pairs t -interval for a mean difference C A two-sample z-interval for a difference between proportions D A two-sample t-interval for a difference between means See answers (2) 4.2/5 7 hiyalol2973 asked 03/10/2020 A simple random sample of 60 items resulted in a sample mean of 80. The population standard deviation is σ = 15. a. Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population mean. b. Assume that the same sample mean was obtained from a sample of 120 times. Provide a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. c. What is the effect of a larger sample size on the interval estimate?

In population E, 20 percent of the turtles have a shell length greater than 2 feet. From a random sample of 40 turtles selected from D, 15 had a shell length greater than 2 feet. From a random sample of 60 turtles selected from E, 11 had a shell length greater than 2 feet. Let pˆD represent the sample proportion for D, and let pˆE represent the sample proportion for E. Question 2 (b) What are the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the difference in sample proportions pˆD−pˆE ? Show your work and label each value. (c) Can it be assumed that the sampling distribution of the difference of the sample proportions pˆD−pˆE is approximately normal? Justify your answer. (d) Consider your answer in part (a). What is the probability that pˆD−pˆE is greater than the value found in part (a)?
