Step 1
To find the critical value, we need to find the z-score associated with a 79% confidence level. We can use a standard normal distribution table or a calculator to find this value. For a 79% confidence level, we need to find the z-score that corresponds to the Show more…

In a random sample of 2,282 college students, 356 reported getting 8 or more hours of sleep per night. Find the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of college students who get 8 or more hours of sleep per night. Use Excel to create the confidence interval, rounding to four decimal places.

It is known that the number of hours a student sleeps per night has a normal distribution. The sleeping time in hours of a random sample of 8 students is given below. sleep hours data 8.6, 8.3, 7.6, 6, 7.1, 5.6, 5.1, 6 Compute a 92% confidence interval for the true mean time a student sleeps per night and fill in the blanks appropriately. We have 92 % confidence that the true mean time a student sleeps per night is between _____ and _____ (round to 3 decimal places)

In a sample of 100 people, you find that the average length of time spent sleeping is 7.38 hours. If the standard deviation for the population is 0.92 hours, give a 95% confidence interval for the average time spent sleeping for the population.
