A fitness center is interested in finding a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of days per week that Americans who are members of a fitness club go to their fitness center. Records of 247 members were looked at and their mean number of visits per week was 2.1 and the standard deviation was 2.9. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible. a. To compute the confidence interval use a ? z or t distribution. b. With 90% confidence the population mean number of visits per week is between and visits. c. If many groups of 247 randomly selected members are studied, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of visits per week and about percent will not contain the true population mean number of visits per week.

A fitness center is interested in finding a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of days per week that Americans who are members of a fitness club go to their fitness center. Records of 234 members were looked at and their mean number of visits per week was 3.4 and the standard deviation was 1.8. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible. A) To compute the confidence interval use a Z or T distribution? B) With 95% confidence the population mean number of visits per week is between ______ and _____ visits. C) If many groups of 234 randomly selected members are studied, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About _________ percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of visits per week and about ________ percent will not contain the true population mean number of visits per week.

Hospitals: Charity Care What percentage of hospitals provide at least some charity care? The following problem is based on information taken from State Health Care Data: Utilization, Spending, and Characteristics (American Medical Association). Based on a random sample of hospital reports from eastern states, the following information was obtained (units in percentage of hospitals providing at least some charity care): (a) Use a calculator with mean and sample standard deviation keys to verify that $\bar{x}=62.3 \%$ and $s \approx 8.0 \%$ (b) Find a $90 \%$ confidence interval for the population average $\mu$ of the percentage of hospitals providing at least some charity care. (c) Interpretation What does the confidence interval mean in the context of this problem?
