The white wood material used for the roof of an ancient temple is imported from a certain country. The wooden roof must withstand as much as 100 centimeters of snow in the winter. Architects at a university conducted a study to
estimate the mean bending strength of the white wood roof. A sample of 25 pieces of the imported wood were tested and yielded the statistics x= 72.7 and s = 11.4 on breaking strength (MPa). Estimate the true mean breaking
strength of the white wood with a 99% confidence interval. Interpret the result.
Find the 99% confidence interval for the true mean breaking strength of the white wood.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Among adults, a body mass index (BMI, in kg/m2 ) value between 18.5 and 24.9is considered healthy, but attractiveness may not be entirely about health. Using a 3D computer avatar, participants built what they considered the ideal body of an adult of their own gender. The Minitab output for the mean ideal BMI of the women and of the men respectively is shown. From Barbie dolls to runway models, women in Western countries are exposed to unrealistically thin and arguably unhealthy body standards for their gender. Does the study provide evidence that young Caucasian women in British universities, on average, aim for an unhealthy ideal body type (corresponding to a BMI less than 18.5 )? test statistic,t = p-value =arrow_forwardA study was conducted to 60 students to identify their eating style and stress level during the period of movement control order (MCO) 3.0 in 2021.

If some bulbs fail too early in their life, users become annoyed and are likely to switch to bulbs produced by a different manufacturer. Large variations above the mean reduce replacement sales; in general, variation in life lengths disrupts the user’s replacement schedules. A random sample of 20 bulbs produced by a particular manufacturer produced the following lengths of life (in hours):2100, 2302, 1951, 2067, 2415, 1883, 2101, 2146, 2278, 2019, 1924, 2183, 2077, 2392, 2286, 2501, 1946, 2161, 2253, 1827.(a) Find a 99% confidence interval for the standard deviation of the lengths of life for the bulbs produced by this manufacturer.

To provide effective treatment, it is important to detect the disease as soon as possible.
