A researcher determined the size sample necessary to estimate two population means Y and Z. The indicated sizes were 200 to estimate Y and 300 to estimate Z with the specified degrees of confidence and precision. The researcher decided therefore to use a sample of size 250 . Assuming the estimates of the population standard deviation were correct
 a. the estimate of Y is more precise than desired while that for Z is less precise than desired.
  b. the estimate of Y is less precise than desired while that for Z is more precise than desired.
  c. Y is estimated with exactly the specified degree of precision while Z is estimated less precisely than desired.
  d. Z is estimated with exactly the specified degree of precision while Y is estimated less precisely than desired.
  e. Both Y and Z are estimated with the exact specified degree of precision.

Question 2

If the sample standard deviation turns out to be larger than the estimated population standard deviation, the confidence interval to estimate a population mean will be __________ planned.
 a. Narrower than
  b. Wider than
  c. The same as
  d. As precise as
  e. None of the above

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
