A company specializing in building robots that clean your house has found that the average amount of time kids spend cleaning their houses is about 2 hours per week. If their sample size was 1000 randomly chosen kids and the standard deviation was 0.3 hours, what is the margin of error for a confidence interval of 95%? Round to the nearest ten thousandth (4 decimal places).

31 students are asked in a survey how many hours they work during a week. Their responses have a mean of 19 hours and a standard deviation of 5 hours. Find the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval. Round your answer to two decimal places. hours

An electricity provider wants to estimate the mean time it takes for customers to get an electrical fault resolved. The provider took a random sample of 36 customers who had recently reported an electrical fault and found a mean time of 4 hours. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.73 hours. What is the value of the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval? Please give your answer correctly rounded to two decimal places and do NOT give units.

The range for a set of data is estimated to be $36.$ $$\begin{array}{l}{\text { a. What is the planning value for the population standard deviation? }} \\ {\text { b. } A t 95 \% \text { confidence, how large a sample would provide a margin of error of } 3 ?} \\ {\text { c. At } 95 \% \text { confidence, how large a sample would provide a margin of error of } 2 ?}\end{array}$$
