A hospital administrator believes that the standard deviation of the number of people using outpatient survey per day is greater than 8. A random sample of 15 days is selected. The data are shown below. At α = 0.1, is there enough evidence to support the administrator’s claim? Show your work and indicate the conclusion and assume that the variable is normally distributed. 25, 30, 5, 15, 18, 42, 16, 9, 10, 12, 12, 38, 8, 14, 27.

Listed below are systolic blood pressure measurements (mm Hg) taken from the right and left arms of the same woman. Assume that the paired sample data is a simple random sample and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Use a 0.05 significance level to test for a difference between the measurements from the two arms. What can be concluded? Right arm Left arm 150 142 120 131 167 160 179 156 In this example, Hd is the mean value of the differences d for the population of all pairs of data, where each individual difference d is defined as the measurement from the right arm minus the measurement from the left arm. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test? O A. Ho: Hd = 0 H₁: Hd 0 Since the P-value is than the significance level, the null hypothesis. There sufficient evidence to support the claim of a difference in measurements between the two arms.

P3. Show that the mle of unknown standard deviation when the mean is known is different from the sample standard deviation when the random sample is taken from a normal population characterized by two parameters, mean and variance. Which estimator is unbiased? Justify your answer. Show that a sample mean is a minimum variance unbiased estimator of the mean of a normal population with known variance.
If we meet these conditions, the sampling distribution of the mean will have a normal shape and ... The mean of the sampling distribution will be u, (i.e., the same as the population mean) and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution will be (that's the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size). In the AP Stats Guy video, he talks about the number of text messages his students send during class. Suppose the average number of text messages his students send during class is u = 30 text messages. If we take samples of say, n = 36 students at a time, we would expect the mean of the sampling distribution we create to be the same as the population mean, 30 text messages. If we can further say that standard deviation of the number of text messages is 12 text messages, by how much would we expect the sample means to vary? (hint, use the formula above) text messages
