Question

As a part of the study of the development of thymus glands, researchers weighed the glands of chick embryos after 14 days of incubation. The thymus weights (mg) were as follows: 29.6, 30.1, 24.7, 21.5, 33.4, 29.8, 41.5, 32.9, 33.7, 28.0, 34.6, 44.9, 37.8, 23.4, 27.1, 41.5, 43.2 a) Calculate the standard error of the mean. b) Make a QQ-plot for assessing normality of the data. c) Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the population mean.

Step 1

To calculate the standard error of the mean, we use the formula: Standard Error = Standard Deviation / √n First, calculate the mean of the thymus weights: Mean = (29.6 + 30.1 + 24.7 + 21.5 + 33.4 + 29.8 + 41.5 + 32.9 + 33.7 + 28.0 + 34.6 + 44.9 + 37.8 + 23.4 + Show more…
