Suppose you want to estimate the mean bowling score for all participants in a large bowling league. The stemplot summarizes the distribution of bowling scores for a random sample of 18 bowlers in the league. 2410 24 668 25 001124 25 55688 26 01 26 5 Key: 26 | 5 = A bowler that scored 265. Is the Normal/Large Sample condition met? Explain. Yes! Although the sample size is small, the graph of the sample data shows no strong skewness or outliers. No, the sample size is small and the graph of the sample data is strongly skewed to the right with at least one high outlier. No, the sample size is small, n = 18 < 30. There is not enough information provided to determine if the Normal/Large Sample condition is met. Yes, the data come from a normally distributed population.

Assume that samples of size n =2 are randomly selected with replacement from the population of 1, 4, and 10. Construct a probability distribution table that describes the sampling distribution of the proportion of odd numbers when samples of sizes n = 2 are randomly selected. Does the mean of the sample proportions equal the proportion of odd numbers in the population? Do the sample proportions targe the value of the population proportion? Does the sample proportion make a good estimator of the population proportion?

A transect is an archaeological study area that is mile wide and 1 mile long. A site in a transect is the location of a significant archaeological find. Let x represent the number of sites per transect. In a section of Chaco Canyon, a large number of transects showed that x has a population variance . In a different section of Chaco Canyon, a random sample of 23 transects gave a sample variance for the number of sites per transect. Use an to test the claim that the variance in the new section is greater than 36.4. What is the level of significance? 90% 1% 5% 95% 10%
