Problem 3: We sampled \( 40 \mathrm{NY} \) teachers for their annual income. In our sample, the average annual income is \( \$ 60,000 \) and the standard deviation of annual incomes is \( \$ 7,500 \). Based on that sample, we want to predict the mean annual income \( \mu \) of all the NY teachers with the confidence level of 0.99 (99 percent).

How many students must be randomly selected to estimate the mean weekly earnings of students at one college? We want 95% confidence that the sample mean is within $5 of the population mean, and the population standard deviation is known to be $44

3. The monthly incomes from a random sample of faculty at a university are shown below. Monthly Income ($1000s) 3.0 4.0 6.0 3.0 5.0 5.0 6.0 8.0 Compute a 90% confidence interval for the mean of the population. The population of all faculty incomes is known to be normally distributed. Give your answer in dollars.

Suppose the mean salary for full professors in the United States is believed to be $61,650. A sample of 36 full professors revealed a mean salary of $69,800. Assuming the standard deviation is $5,000, a.) Can it be concluded that the average salary has changed or is it still the same (using a 0.05 level of significance)? (Please state the null hypothesis: H0: ĆĀ¼ = $61,650 and provide two approaches, both the "T-test" and "P-value" approach.) b. Create the 95% Confidence Interval for the population mean using the information above.
