Question

1.In a trial for the university athletics competition, one aims to estimate the mean chest size of the male athletes. A random sample of 70 male athletes gave rise to an average chest size of 42 inches with a standard deviation of 16 inches. What would be the distribution of the statistic that we need to estimate the mean chest size?

a. It is a normal distribution with mean 42 inches and standard deviation 16 inches.

b. it is a student's t distribution with degree of freedom 69.

c. It is a student's t distribution with mean 42 inches and standard deviation 16 inches.

d. it is a normal distribution with degree of freedom 69.

2.What is the standard error of the sample mean in problem 1?

a. 1.91

b. 0.23

c. 17.5

d. 16

3.What would be the critical value if we need to find a 95% confidence interval for the true average chest size in problem 1?

a. 2.29

b. 1.99

c. 1.67

d. None of the above

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
