4. A random sample of 40 men ages 21 to 25 gave a mean calorie consumption of 2580 calories per day with a standard deviation of 206 calories per day. a. Compute the 95% confidence interval for the mean calorie consumption of this population. b. Which is the correct interpretation of the interval you computed in part "a"? (circle one) b1. 95% of all men in this population have daily calorie consumptions between these two limits. b2. We are 95% confident that the mean calorie consumption of this population is between these two limits.

'At a diet center; a sample of 32 people showed an average of 1500 calories a day with a sample standard deviation of 100 calories. What is the 98% confidence interval of the mean number of calories for all dieters at this center?'

A nutritionist selected a random sample of n = 50 adult males. The average daily intake of dairy products was found to be x (bar above) = 756 grams per day, with a standard deviation of s = 35 grams per day. Use this sample information to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean daily intake of dairy products for men.

Based on a survey of a random sample of 315 healthy adults, the correlation between daily fat consumption and BMI score was found to be 0.049. A 90% confidence interval for this correlation for all healthy adults is (-0.046, 0.145). a. What sample statistic does 0.049 represent? Use correct notation. b. What population parameter does the confidence interval (-0.046, 0.145) estimate? c. Identify the two variables and state whether each is categorical or quantitative?
