While discussing labor and delivery during a prenatal visit, a primigravida (having 1st baby) asks the nurse when she should go to the hospital. The nurse would base her response on which of the following

A study was conducted in order to estimate μ, the mean number of weekly hours that U.S. adults use computers at home. Suppose a random sample of 81 U.S. adults gives a mean weekly computer usage time of 8.5 hours and that from prior studies, the population standard deviation is assumed to be σ = 3.6 hours. A similar study conducted a year earlier estimated that μ, the mean number of weekly hours that U.S. adults use computers at home, was 8 hours. We would like to test (at the significance level of 5%) whether the current study provides significant evidence that this mean has changed since the previous year. Using a 95% confidence interval of (7.7, 9.3), our conclusion is that:

A statistics student would like to investigate if the mean number of Facebook friends among all CCC college students is higher than 130.From her survey data, the student calculates that the mean number of Facebook friends for her sample is 138.7 with a standard deviation of 79.3. She analyzed her data using a t-test and obtained a P-value of 0.23.What conclusion can she draw from her data?

Complete on paper, detail your process Suppose it’s known that 14% of high schoolers drive themselves to school every day. a) If we consider a random sample of 120 high schoolers, would 23 of those students driving themselves be significantly different?  Use

Complete on paper, detail your process In 2012 Kelly Blue Book claimed that the average length of car ownership had increased to 57 months. Gwen questions whether this is really true.  She studies 1000 cars in her city and finds that the average length of ownership is 58 months with standard deviation 10. Is that significantly different (with

We have conducted a one sided hypothesis test with a 1% significance level ( = 0.01). We would like to also construct a confidence interval with an equivalent level so that we can compare our results. What should the confidence level of this interval be?
