From the population of 540, a sample of 60 induvidual is taken from this sample. Tge mean is found to be 6.2 and the standerd deviation is 1.368. Find the estimated standerd error of the mean. Construct a 96%confidence intervels for the mean
Assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.23°F and standard deviation of .64°F. The hospital uses 100.6°F as the lowest temperature considered to be a fever. What percentage of normal and healthy person's would be considered to have a fever? Does this percentage suggest that a cut off of 100.6°F is appropriate? Physicians want to select a minimum temperature for requiring further medical test. What should the temperature be if we want only 5% of healthy people to exceed it?
Two estimates are available for the same population parameter. Estimate one has a standard deviation of 8.5 and estimate two has a standard deviation of 8.7. Estimate two is unbiased, whereas estimate one is biased. Which estimate would you choose and why?
A random sample of 100 observations from a quantitative population produced a sample mean of 28.0 and a sample standard deviation of 6.5. Use the p-value approach to determine whether the population mean is different from 31.
Some college graduates employed full-time work more than 40 hours per week, and some work fewer than 40 hours per week. We suspect that the mean number of hours worked per week by college graduates, u, is less than 40 hours and wish to do a statistical test. We select a random sample of college graduates employed full-time and find that the mean of the sample is 35 hours and that the standard deviation is 3 hours. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H,) and the alternative hypothesis (H,) that should be used for the test? H: u is ? H: u is ? In the context of this test, what is a Type II error? A Type II error is ? fact, u is ? v the hypothesis that u is ? ? v. when, in Suppose that we decide to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might we be making? ?
Humerus bones from the same species of animal have approximately the same length-to-width ratios. It is known that Species A has a mean ratio of 5.9. Suppose that 100 fossil humerus bones were unearthed at a site where Species A is known to have flourished. (We assume that all bones are from the same species.) The length-to-width ratios of these bones have a sample mean 5.6 and sample standard deviation 0.25. Can we conclude that the mean ratio of these bones is significantly smaller than those of Species A? Test with a 0.01 significance level. What is the standard error?
A reading class can read an mean of 175 words per minute and a population standard deviation of 20 words per minutes. The top 3% of the class is to receive a special award for a random sample of 49 students. What is the minimum average number of words per minute a student would need to read in order to get the award for a random sample of 49 students? Assume the data is normally distributed.
