Suppose that you took a random sample of 20 students at FSU and asked them how many minutes they exercised yesterday. Suppose that you wanted to make a 99% confidence interval for the population mean. What value would you use for t?

Suppose that you took a random sample of 25 students at FSU and asked them how many minutes they exercised yesterday. Suppose that you wanted to make a 99% confidence interval for the population mean. What value would you use for t?

The Queensland male koala has an average weight of 6.5kg. Male Koalas weights are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.82. Suppose that 5 randomly selected koalas were selected. What is the sampling distribution of the sample mean?

Suppose that you wanted to estimate the population proportion of students at UF that approved of the job that congress was doing. You decided to take a sample, but you needed to determine what size sample to take. You were uncertain what this proportion would be. You wanted to be 95% confident and to have a margin of error of 0.055. What size sample would you need? 

The average height of men in Cameroon is 1.706 meters with a standard deviation of 0.154 m. Height is approximately normally distributed. Suppose that a sample of 35 men is selected, find the range of the central 68% of sample mean heights?

Suppose that you were going to take a sample of Florida students. You were interested in estimating the proportion who had ever called/emailed/spoken with their congressmen. You believe that the proportion is close to 0.10; however, you wanted to be 95% confident with a margin of error equal to 0.028. What sample size do you need?

In the year 2014, according to salary.com, physical therapists in Jacksonville, Florida have an average annual salary of 75,000. The standard deviation is about 6,000 dollars. The distribution of salaries is right skewed. Suppose that a sample of 10 physical therapists is taken from Jacksonville, Florida. What is the sampling distribution of the sample mean?
