Suppose that the amount of time Americans spend watching TV per day is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1 hour. A sample of 144 people is selected at random, and the sample mean computed as 3 hours.
Determine the 90% AND 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean.
Determine the 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean if the sample size is changed to 121.
Determine the 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean if the population standard deviation is changed to 0.8.
Determine the 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean if the sample mean is changed to 3.5
Determine the sample size that is required to estimate a population mean to within 0.4 hours with a 90% confidence.
