Customers arrive at a movie theater at the advertised movie time only to find that they have to sit through several previews and prepreview ads before the movie starts. Many complain that the time devoted to previews is too long. A preliminary sample conducted by The Wall Street Journal showed that the standard deviation of the amount of time devoted to previews was 4 minutes. Use that as a planning value for the standard deviation in answering the following questions. Round your answer to next whole number. a. If we want to estimate the population mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 75 seconds, what sample size should be used? Assume 95\% confidence b. If we want to estimate the population mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 1 minute, what sample size should be used? Assume 95\% confidence.

The results of a paired-difference test are shown below: a. Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval estimate for the paired difference in mean values. b. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval estimate for the paired difference in mean values. d = -5.7, s = 0.25, n = 25 (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Assume that a sample is used to estimate a population mean ĢĢĢĢ. Find the 90% confidence interval for a sample of size 49 with a mean of 82.5 and a standard deviation of 19.8. Enter your answer as an open-interval (i.e., parentheses) accurate to 3 decimal places: 90% C.I.

11. A sample of 230 observations is selected from a normal population with a population standard deviation of 26. The sample mean is 18. a. Determine the standard error of the mean. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) c. Determine the 99% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round z-score to 2 decimal places and your answers to 3 decimal places.)
