A personality test has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. Suppose that you're interested in the mean score, μ , on this subsection among the general population. You decide that you'll use the mean of a random sample of scores on this subsection to estimate μ . What is the minimum sample size needed in order for you to be 90% confident that your estimate is within 5 of μ ? Use the value 22 for the population standard deviation of scores on this subsection.
If the probability is below 0.01, the data provide strong evidence that the null hypothesis is false. show how?
6. "In statistical inference for proportions, standard error (SE) is calculated differently for hypothesis tests and confidence intervals." Which of the following is the best justification for this statement? Because in hypothesis testing, we assume the null hypothesis is true, hence we calculate SE using the null value of the parameter. In confidence intervals, there is no null value, hence we use the sample proportion(s). Because in hypothesis testing we're interested in the variability of the true population distribution, and in confidence intervals we're interested in the variability of the sampling distribution. Because if we used the same method for hypothesis tests as we did for confidence intervals, the calculation would be impossible. Because statistics is full of arbitrary formulas. 7. An introductory stats professor hypothesizes that 50% of students learn best by watching the videos, 10% by reading the book, 20% by solving questions, and the rest from the discussion forums.…
If x represents a random variable with mean 137 and standard deviation 16, then the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the means with sample size 64 is 2. True O False
A researcher studying public opinion of proposed Social Security changes obtains a simple random sample of 25 adult Americans and asks them whether or not support the proposed changes . To say that the distribution of the sample proportion of adults who respond yes, is approximately normal , how many more adult Americans does the researcher need to sample in the following cases? (a) 15% of all adult Americans support the changes (b) 20% of all adult Americans support the changes
A personality test has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. Suppose that you're interested in the mean score, μ, on this subsection among the general population. You decide that you'll use the mean of a random sample of scores on this subsection to estimate μ. What is the minimum sample size needed in order for you to be 90% confident that your estimate is within 3 of μ? Use the value 23 for the population standard deviation of scores on this subsection. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Write your answer as a whole number (and make sure that it is the minimum whole number that satisfies the requirements).
18. With respect to the chi-square test, a p value of 0.034 means there is a 3.4% probability that the deviation of the observed value from the expected value is due to chance and a 96.6% probability that this is not due to chance. True False
A gambler is trying to decide if a coin is weighted so he flips it 40 times and finds that only 24% turn up heads. From this data, it looks like the coin is weighted to turn up tails more often, but his sample could have been a random chance. Being well-initiated in the practice of statistics he decides to run a hypothesis test.(a) Complete the mathematical statement of the null hypothesis where we are taking to be the proportion of the 40 flips that turn up heads: H0 : p = _______ (b) Complete the mathematical statement of the alternative hypothesis:HA : p __________

if we take samples from the population that has an unknown probability distribution, the sampling distribution will still be approximately normal even if the sample size is small because of the central limit theorem True or False
Throughout the semester we have seen the importance of standard deviation and how it is needed to calculate probabilities of certain outcomes. In chapter 11, you will find that a majority of the formulas are long. If you investigate the formulas, what you will find is that the formulas in chapter 11 are applications of the Pythagorean Theorem of Statistics. Let us use this concept to answer a seemingly impossible question. What is the probability that a randomly chosen woman will be taller than a randomly chosen man? And is that outcome usual or unusual? The mean height of men is 69 inches with a standard deviation of 3 inches. The mean height of women is 63.6 inches with a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. Let’s create a mean and standard deviation by combining the data set of men and women. This is technically impossible because how is it possible to collect an entire data set of men, let alone women. Let’s consider the set X – Y, where X represent the data set of women and Y…
