Question
Based on a random sample of n = 2345, the 95% confidence interval of variable X is (7.25, 9.12). You expect that the mean in the population is different from 7 at α = 0.05. What can you conclude?1 pointNothing, because you have not enough data to determine that.The value in the population is indeed different from 7.You cannot reject the null hypothesis.This confidence interval is wrong.
Solution
Based on the given 95% confidence interval of (7.25, 9.12), we can conclude that the population mean is not 7. This is because the entire confidence interval is above 7. Therefore, at α = 0.05, we can reject the null hypothesis that the population mean is 7. So, the correct answer is "The value in the population is indeed different from 7."

Choose the correct statement. When constructing 90% confidence intervals for 20 samples of the same size from the population, exactly 90% of the samples will contain the population mean. When constructing 90% confidence intervals for 20 samples of the same size from the population, at most 90% of the samples will contain the population mean. When constructing 90% confidence intervals for 20 samples of the same size from the population, it is possible that more or fewer than 90% of the samples will contain the population mean.(d)Choose ALL that are true. The 90% confidence interval for Sample 8 does not indicate that 90% of the Sample 8 data values are between 93.0 and 98.6. The 75% confidence interval for Sample 8 is narrower than the 90% confidence interval for Sample 8. This must be the case, because when a confidence interval is constructed for a sample, the greater the level of confidence, the wider the confidence interval. From the 75% confidence interval for Sample 8, we know that there is a 75% probability that the population mean is between 93.8 and 97.8. If there were a Sample 21 of size =n44 taken from the same population as Sample 8, then the 90% confidence interval for Sample 21 would be narrower than the 90% confidence interval for Sample 8. None of the choices above are true.
