 1. Confidence intervals are useful when trying to estimate _______.
 a. unknown parameters
 b. known parameters
 c. unknown statistics
 d. known statistics
 The ____ the P-value, the stronger the evidence against the null hypothesis provided by the
data.
 a. larger
 b. smaller
 5. The probability you reject the null hypothesis when in fact the null hypothesis is true is
called __________.
 a. a Type I error

 c. the power
 7. (*) The heights (in inches) of adult males in the United States are believed to be Normally
distributed with mean µ. The average height of a random sample of 25 American adult males is
found to be 𝑥𝑥 ̅ = 69.72 inches, and the standard deviation of the 25 heights is found to be s =
4.15. A 90% confidence interval for µ is
 a. 69.72 ± 1.09
 b. 69.72 ± 1.37
 c. 69.72 ± 1.42
Answer: The t critical value for 90% CI for df = 24 is 1.711. So
margin_or_error = (1.711) ∙ 4.15 = (1.711) ∙ (0.83) = 1.42 √25
