Step 1
The researcher has measured the pulse rates of a sample of randomly selected adults and calculated a 95% confidence interval using Student's t-distribution. This interval provides a range of values within which we can be confident that the true mean pulse rate of Show more…

A medical researcher measured the pulse rates (beats per minute) of a sample of randomly selected adults and found the following Student's t-based confidence interval: With 95.00% Confidence, 71.817204 < ÎĽ(Pulse) < 76.364528 a) Explain carefully what the software output means. A. We are 95% confident that the interval 71.8 to 76.4 beats per minute contains the true mean heart rate. B. 95% of all pulse rates will have a mean rate between 71.8 to 76.4 beats per minute. C. The interval 71.8 to 76.4 beats per minute contains the true mean heart rate 95% of the time. D. 95% of the pulse rates will be between 71.8 to 76.4 beats per minute. b) What's the margin of error for this interval? (Round to one decimal place.) c) If the researcher had calculated a 90% confidence interval, would the margin of error be larger or smaller? A. The margin of error would have been smaller. B. The margin of error would have been larger. C. The margin of error would have remained the same.

A medical researcher measured the pulse rates (beats per minute) of a sample of randomly selected adults and found the following Student's t-based confidence interval: With 95.00% Confidence, 64.608417 < ÎĽ(Pulse) < 69.429042 a) Explain carefully what the software output means. b) What's the margin of error for this interval? c) If the researcher had calculated a 99% confidence interval, would the margin of error be larger or smaller? a) Explain carefully what the software output means. A. 95% of the pulse rates will be between 64.6 to 69.4 beats per minute. B. 95% of all pulse rates will have a mean rate between 64.6 to 69.4 beats per minute. C. The interval 64.6 to 69.4 beats per minute contains the true mean heart rate 95% of the time. D. We are 95% confident the interval 64.6 to 69.4 beats per minute contains the true mean heart rate. b) What's the margin of error for this interval? (Round to one decimal place.)

C. 95% of all pulse rates will have a mean rate between 73.3 to 76.5 beats per minute. D. The interval 73.3 to 76.5 beats per minute contains the true mean heart rate 95% of the time. b) What's the margin of error for this interval? (Round to one decimal place.)
