Question Suppose the number of minutes spent exercising each day for adults in the U.S. are normally distributed with an unknown population mean and standard deviation. If a random sample of 20 adults is taken to estimate the mean length of daily exercise, use a calculator to find the t-score that should be used to find a 80% confidence interval estimate for the population mean. Round your answer to three decimal places. Provide your answer below:

A survey of 20 randomly selected adult men showed that the mean time they spend per week watching sports on television is 7.17 hours with a standard deviation of 2.40 hours. Assuming that the time spent per week watching sports on television by all adult men is (approximately) normally distributed, construct a 90 % confidence interval for the population mean, mu.

Everyone knows that exercise is important. Recently, employees of one large international corporation were surveyed and asked, How many minutes do you spend daily on some form of rigorous exercise? From a random sample of 25 employees, the mean time spent on vigorous daily exercise was $28.5$ minutes. The standard deviation was found to be $6.8$ minutes. Find a $90 \%$ interval estimate of the mean daily time spent on rigorous exercise by all employees.
A fitness center is interested in finding a 98% 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 240 members were looked at and their mean number of visits per week was 3.4 and the standard deviation was 2.9. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible. a. To compute the confidence interval use a __ distribution. b. With 98% confidence the population mean number of visits per week is between___ and__ visits. c. If many groups of 240 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.
