Sleep researchers collected daily sleep times for a random sample of young adults. As a result, they determined the interval from 6.75 hours to 7.37 hours to be a 99% confidence for the mean daily sleep time for all young adults. Interpret this confidence interval by explaining what it means in terms of daily sleep times of young adults.

A researcher obtained times of sleep for randomly selected adult subjects included in the National Health and Nutritional Examination Study, and those times (hours) are listed below. Here are the Statistics for this sample: n=12, x-bar = 6.83, s = 1.99 hours. Assume that the times of sleep follow a normal distribution. A common recommendation is that adults should sleep between 7 hours and 9 hours each night. Use the P-value method with a 0.05 significance level to test the claim and that the mean amount of sleep for adults is less than 7 hours. 4,8,4,4,8,6,9,7,7,10,7,8

You conduct a study on hypnotherapy to determine its effectiveness in increasing the number of hours of sleep that subjects get each night. You measure the hours of sleep for 12 subjects and obtain the following results: 8.2, 9.1, 7.7, 8.6, 6.9, 11.2, 10.1, 9.9, 8.9, 9.2, 7.5, and 10.5. Now, you need to construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean number of hours slept for the population (assuming it follows a normal distribution) from which you collected the data.

In a simple random sample of 87 young adults, the average time spent per day in bed asleep was 7.06 hours. We are told that the population sleep time of young adults is normally distributed, and the population standard deviation is 1.11 hours. Construct a 92% confidence interval for the mean time spent per day in bed asleep of young adults and provide a statement of confidence.
