An elementary school principal wants to know the mean number of children in families whose children attend this school. He checks all the families using the school's registration records, and we use the computer to create a 95% confidence interval based on a t-distribution. This procedure was not appropriate. Why?
◦ The recent record-setting family with twelve children is probably an outlier.
◦ At a given school families are not randomly selected.
◦ The entire population of families was gathered so there is no reason to do inference.
◦ The population standard deviation is known, so he should have used a z-model.
◦ Since these families are from only one school, the family sizes may be skewed.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
