Assignment 16

I am SO SORRY this is so late. This assignment used to be Assignment 17 so I was expecting to be able to do more of it in class.

The key here is to remember that you only need to choose ONE POPULATION.

So, for example, you'd have one of these populations:

Middle-aged American women of a healthy weight and BMI that don't drink wine.

OR

Middle-aged American women of a healthy weight and BMI that do drink wine.

Once you choose one, roll with it for the rest of the time.

Thus when you write the parameter, just write about one of the populations (the one you chose). How does a parameter differ from the population? What word do we need to add? (Hint...it starts with "m").

Remember the difference between confidence level and confidence interval. Interval is what we actually report, LEVEL is that complicated definition we talked about. Here's a hint for question 5, you should NOT answer:

"That is the percentage of the time we will find mu in the interval". This is WRONG. Hopefully this WRONG answer will help you remember the right one :)

The last question we want to use our conclude cookie-cutter answer.

Good Luck!
