Question

Allen's hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) has been studied by zoologist Bill Alther. Suppose a small group of 19 Allen's hummingbirds has been under study in Arizona. The average weight for these birds is x^bar = 3.15 grams. Based on previous studies, we can assume that the weights of Allen's hummingbirds have a normal distribution, with sigma = 0.36 gram. Find than 80% confidence interval for the average weights of Allen's hummingbirds in the study region. What is the margin of error? (Round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit 3.0442 upper limit 3.2558 margin of error .1058 What conditions are necessary for your calculations? (Select all that apply.) sigma is unknown n is large normal distribution of weights sigma is known uniform distribution of weights Interpret your results in the context of this problem. There is an 80% chance that the interval is one of the intervals containing the true average weight of Allen's hummingbirds in this region. The probability that this interval contains the true average weight of Allen's hummingbirds is 0.20. There is a 20% chance that the interval is one of the intervals containing the true average weight of Allen's hummingbirds in this region. The probability to the true average weight of Allen's hummingbirds is equal to the sample mean. The probability that this interval contains the true average weight of Allen's hummingbirds is 0.80. Find the sample size necessary for an 80% confidence level with a maximal margin of error E = 0.11 for the mean weights of the hummingbirds. (Round up to the nearest whole number.) ______ hummingbirds

Explanation / Answer

Solution:-
b) => normal distributions of weights.
=> is known.

c) option a. There is an 80% chance that the interval containing the true average weight of Allen's hummingbirds in this region.
