Assume that ﬁnal exam scores in a given course are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 10 points. In a class of 200 students, how many would you expect to fail the exam (i.e., score less than 60) (note: scores can only be approximately normally distributed, because the minimum score is 0, but this should not alter the answer, given how large the mean is relative to the standard deviation).
Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. A researcher was interested in comparing the GPAs of students at two different colleges. Independent simple random samples of 8 students from college A and 13 students from college B yielded the following GPAs. College A 3.7 3.2 3.0 2.5 2.7 3.6 2.8 3.4 College B 3.8 3.2 3.0 3.9 3.8 2.5 3.9 2.8 4.0 3.6 2.6 4.0 3.6 Construct a 95% confidence interval for μ1−μ2, the difference between the mean GPA of college A students and the mean GPA of college B students. Round to two decimal places. (Note: x1=3.1125, x2=3.4385, s1=0.4357 s2=0.5485
A simple random sample of size n is drawn. The sample mean, &, is found to be 17.7, and the sample standard deviation, s, is found to be 4.3. Click the icon to view the table of areas under the t-distribution.
Assume that different groups of couples use a particular method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. This method is designed to increase the likelihood that each baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5. Assume that the groups consist of 41 couples. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. Find the mean and the standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 41 births. The value of the mean isu = (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) The value of the standard deviation is o = (Round to one decimal place as needed.) b. Use the range rule of thumb to find the values separating results that are significantly low or significantly high. girls or fewer are significantly low. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Assume that different groups of couples use a particular method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. This method is designed to increase the likelihood that each baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5. Assume that the groups consist of 30 couples. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. Find the mean and the standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 30 births. The value of the mean is u = (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.).
4000 B.C. A.D. 150 A study was done on skull sizes of humans during different time periods. The results are shown in the table.

Determine if the following statements are true or false. a. Jane took a sample of n = 100 observations from a population with mean and standard deviation. Mike also took a sample of n = 200 observations from the same population. Then, Mike’s sample mean will be closer to the true population mean than Jane’s sample. b. Jane took a sample of n = 100 observations from a population with mean and standard deviation. Mike also took a sample of n = 200 observations from a population with mean and standard deviation 2. Then, the sample mean from Mike’s sample is more likely to be close to the true mean than the sample mean from Jane’s sample. That is, the probability that X is between 90% and 110% of mean is higher for Mike’s sample than for Jane’s sample.
A firm makes MP3 players. The research department at this firm found that the life of the MP3 players is normally distributed with a mean of 4900 hours and a standard deviation of 450 hours. How many playing hours should a warranty cover if the firm wants 7% of the MP3 players to be below this amount? A. 5566 B. 4234 C. 4900 D. 1.48
