Suppose babies born after a gestation period of 32 to 35 weeks have a mean weight of 2500 grams and a standard deviation of 800 grams while babies born after a gestation period of 40 weeks have a mean weight of 3000 grams and a standard deviation of 385 grams. If a 32-week gestation period baby weighs 2650 grams and a 41-week gestation period baby weighs 3150 grams, find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs more relative to the gestation period? Find the corresponding z-scores. Which baby weighs relatively more? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) A. The baby born in week 41 weighs relatively more since its z-score, nothing, is smaller than the z-score of nothing for the baby born in week 32. B. The baby born in week 32 weighs relatively more since its z-score, nothing, is smaller than the z-score of nothing for the baby born in week 41. C. The…

A random sample of 90 eighth grade students' scores on a national mathematics assessment test has a mean score of 288. This test result prompts a state school administrator to declare that the mean score for the state's eighth graders on this exam is more than 280. Assume that the population standard deviation is 36. At α = 0.08, is there enough evidence to support the administrator's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e). (a) Write the claim mathematically and identify Ho and H₂. Choose the correct answer below.

A professor believes the students in a statistics class this term are more creative than most other students attending the university. A previous study found that students at the university had a mean score of 35 on a standard creativity test, and the current class has an average score of 40 on this scale with an estimated population standard deviation of 7. The standard deviation of the distribution of means is 1.63. The t score is (40 – 35) / 7 = 0.71 (40 – 35) / 1.63 = 3.07 (40 – 35) / 72 = 5 / 49 = 0.10 (40 – 35) / 1.632 = 5 / 2.66 = 1.88

Height and weight are two measurements used to track a child's development. An organization measures child development by comparing the weights of children who are the same height and the same gender. In a certain year, weights for all 80 cm girls in the reference population had a mean ? = 11.8 kg and standard deviation ? = 0.6 kg. Weights are normally distributed. X ~ N(11.8, 0.6). Calculate the z-scores that correspond to the following weights and interpret them. (Round your numerical answers to two decimal places.) (a) 12.4 kg z = _______ A child who weighs 12.4 kg is standard deviation(s) [above/below] the mean of 11.8 kg. (b) 10.1 kg z = _______ A child who weighs 10.1 kg is standard deviation(s) [above/below] the mean of 11.8 kg. (c) 13.3 kg z = ________ A child who weighs 13.3 kg is standard deviation(s) [above/below] the mean of 11.8 kg.
In a random sample of 8 cell phones, the mean full retail price was $549.30 and the standard deviation was $182.00. Further research suggests that the population mean is $425.14.

A psychologist is studying smokers self images, which she measures by the self image (SI) score from a personality inventory. For adults in the U.S., the mean SI score from this inventory is about 140. The psychologist gathers a random sample of 17 SI scores of smokers and finds that their mean is 164 and their standard deviation is 38. Assume that the population of SI scores of smokers is normally distributed with mean μ. Based on the sample, can the psychologist conclude that μ is different from 140? Use the 0.05 level of significance. Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the table.
A company manufactures tennis balls. When its tennis balls are dropped onto a concrete surface from a height of 100 inches, the company wants the mean height the balls bounce upward to be 54.7 inches. This average is maintained by periodically testing random samples of 25 tennis balls. If the t-value falls between - to 99 and to 99, then the company will be satisfied that it is manufacturing acceptable tennis balls. A sample of 25 balls is randomly selected and tested. The mean bounce height of the sample is 56.7 inches and the standard deviation is 0.25 inch. Assume the bounce heights are approximately normally distributed. Is the company making acceptable tennis balls? Find -to 99 and to.99- - to.99 = to.99 = (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Find the t-value. t-value = Is the company making acceptable tennis balls? Choose the correct answer below. O A. The tennis balls are not acceptable because the t-value falls outside -tn og and to oa.
