... (c) The true mean could be anywhere within the intervals obtained in (a) and (b). Since these are 95% and 90% confidence intervals, the intervals are very likely to contain the true means, but there is always some chance that these are among the few (5% or 10%) of intervals that do not contain the t ...

... required. Assume drug prices are normally distributed. You do not need to carry out any calculations. If a hypothesis test is required, your answer should include these four components: (1) type of parameter (proportions or means), (2) design (one-sample, two-sample, or matched pairs), (3) distribut ...

Error analysis for efficiency 1 Binomial model
... Another interesting special case is m = N , i.e., ε̂ = 1. Then from equation (7) one has σ̂[ε̂] = 0. This of course does not necessarily mean that the true efficiency is equal to unity nor that the true standard deviation of the estimator ε̂ is zero, but rather simply that our estimates of these qua ...

Unless the hospital has some evidence that the assumed true standard deviation (10) is a valid assumption backed up with empirical evidence, it would be more reasonable to use the sample standard deviation (11) which resulted from “real” data. This would then result in “Failing to Reject H0: μX = 20 ...
