26. Suppose that in a certain forest, 25% of the trees have squirrel nests. It turns out that the sampling distribution for the proportion of trees with squirrels in samples of 50 trees approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 25% and a standard deviation of 6%. If you take a sample of 50 trees from this forest, what is the probability that fewer than 15% of the trees in you sample have squirrel nests? (a) 0.025 (b) 0.048 (c) 0.452 (d) 0.548 (e) 0.952

15. The Exotic Fruit Juice Co. sell cartons of Passion Fruit and Orange fruit juice. The amount of liquid in each carton is normally distributed with a mean of 266ml and a standard deviation of 20ml. Cartons containing more than 300ml produce no profit. What percentage of cartons will this be?
Suppose that 14 children, who were learning to ride two-wheel bikes, were surveyed to determine how long they had to use training wheels. It was revealed that they used them an average of eleven months with a sample standard deviation of two months. Assume that the underlying population distribution is normal. Part (a) (i) Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal. x = (ii) Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal. sx = (iii) Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal. n = (iv) Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal. n − 1 = Part (b) Part (c) Part (d) Which distribution should you use for this problem? (Enter your answer in the form z or tdf where df is the degrees of freedom.) Explain your choice. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean length of time using training wheels. (i) State the confidence interval. (Round your answers to two decimal…
The weights of men in a particular age group have mean ? = 186 pounds and standard deviation ? = 20 pounds. (a) For randomly selected samples of n = 4 men, what is the standard deviation, s.d., of the sampling distribution of possible sample means? s.d.(x) = (b) For randomly selected samples of n = 16 men, what is the standard deviation, s.d., of the sampling distribution of possible sample means? s.d.(x) = (c) In general, how does increasing the sample size affect the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of possible sample means? Parts (a) and (b) provide a hint. Increasing the sample size (increses/decreases/doesn't effet)the value of the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean. A fourfold increase in sample size multiplies the standard deviation by a factor of (1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, or 4)
To study the IQ of middle school students, a sample of 64 middle schoolers is selected and the population standard deviation for middle schoolers IQ is 16, then the standard deviation of the sampling distribution for mean IQ of middle schoolers is 2. O True O False
A team of researchers found that age distributions in a population of 100,000 people was not Normal. However, after they took a large number of simple random samples, each with (N=100), they observed that the sampling distribution of mean tended toward Normality. Really? Why is it possible?
For a normal distribution with a mean of 160 and a standard deviation of 10, what are the values between which we expect approximately 99.7% of possible outcomes to fall? (120, 200)
Suppose the number of hours of sleep a person gets per night follows a normal distribution with a mean of 7 hours and a standard deviation of 1.5 hours. What is the probability that a randomly selected person gets between 6 and 8.5 hours of sleep per night? If the top 10% of people who get the most sleep are considered "long sleepers," what is the minimum number of hours of sleep per night required to be a long sleeper?
