3. We found the mean number of years of education is 13.05 with a standard deviation of 3.02 among a total of 2,500 GSS respondents. Assuming that years of education is normally distributed, answer the following questions. a) If you have 13.-77 years of education, 1) what is your z score? 2) what is your percentile value? b) If your friend is in the 70th percentile, how many years of education does she have? c) How many people have between your years of education (i.e., 13.77) and your friend's years of education (i.e., 80th percentile)? d) Construct and interpret an estimate of the population mean number of years of edu- cation at the 95% level.

1. What does the standard deviation measure?
Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is ? = 19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a random sample of 51 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.6 inches, with estimated standard deviation s = 2.9 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than ? = 19 inches? Use ? = 0.05. i-What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
Suppose that annual precipitation is normally distributed, with mean 50 inches, and standard deviation 12 inches. Find the 65th percentile of the precipitation distribution
An instructor at a private college claim that the students enrolled in her school have an IQ of average intelligence. If there are a total of 40 students’ IQ scores as sample and have a mean of 106. Is the instructor’s claim true? Mean population IQ is 97 with a standard deviation of 12. Use alpha level of 0.05.
Suppose the distribution of typing speeds in words per minute for experienced typists can be approximated by a normal curve with a mean of 60 wpm and a standard deviation of 15 wpm. To be considered for a position an applicant needs to have a typing speed of at least 70 wpm. If 62 experienced typists apply for the job, how many of these would be considered based on their typing speed?
Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is ? = 19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a random sample of 46 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.4 inches, with estimated standard deviation s = 2.7 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than ? = 19 inches? Use ? = 0.05. Solve the problem using the critical region method of testing (i.e., traditional method). (Round the your answers to three decimal places.) test statistic = critical value = State your conclusion in the context of the application. Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the average fish length is less than 19 inches.Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the average fish length is less than 19 inches.
