A farmer is trying to estimate the proportion of apple trees in an orchard that are infected with a fungal disease. They randomly sample 64 apple trees from the orchard and calculate a 90% confidence interval of (0.14, 0.26). What is the correct interpretation of this confidence interval?

Suppose a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of TAMU students who attended a football game last year is given by (0.67, 0.74).

Body temperatures of adults are normally distributed with a population mean of 98.6 and a population standard deviation of 0.7 (in degrees Fahrenheit). What is the probability of a healthy adult having a body temperature greater than 99.1?

A research study wanted to determine if the summer high temperature in the state of Alaska has changed significantly between 2000 and 2020. They collected data at 49 randomly selected weather stations across Alaska and observed the highest temperature recorded at each station in both 2000 and 2020. The summary statistics for the study is shown in the table below (note: not all information in the table is required to solve the problem; you must decide what pieces of information are necessary). Group n x̄ s Temperature in 2000 49 73.8 5.2 Temperature in 2020 49 75.4 4.7 Differences 49 -1.6 2.9 Assuming all conditions are met, what is the value of the test statistic for testing if the summer high temperature in Alaska has changed from 2000 to 2020? (Treat year 2000 as group 1 and year 2020 as group 2).
