Question 14 of 19

1

Joan's nursery specializes in custom-designed landscaping for residential areas. The estimated labor cost associated with a particular landscaping proposal is based on the number of plantings of trees, shrubs and so on to be used for the project. For cost estimating purposes, managers use two hours of labor time for the planting of medium sized trees. Actual times from a sample of ten plantings during the past month are as follows: 1.7, 1.5, 2.6, 2.2, 2.4, 2.3, 2.6, 3.0, 1.4, 2.3. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Answer the following six questions

Based on this sample, what is the 95% confidence interval for the true mean tree planting time

Select one of the following:

(1.88, 2.52)
(1.76, 2.64)
(1.83, 2.57)
(1.97, 2.43)

Explanation

Question 15 of 19

1

How do you interpret the above confidence interval

Select one of the following:

we are 95% confident that 5% of the values of the sample means will result in a confidence interval that includes the population mean
if we repeatedly draw samples of the same size from the same population, 95% of the intervals we create in this fashion will capture the true population mean
we are 95% confident that we have selected a sample whose range of values does not contain the population mean
95% of the data will fall within the confidence interval

Explanation

Question 16 of 19

1

We want to perform a hypothesis test to determine if the mean tree planting time differs from two hours.

Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses
