A leading magazine (like Barron's) reported at one time that the average number of weeks an individual is unemployed is 17 weeks. Assume that for the population of all unemployed individuals the population mean length of unemployment is 17 weeks and that the population standard deviation is 3 weeks. Suppose you would like to select a random sample of 36 unemployed individuals for a follow-up study. Find the probability that a single randomly selected value is less than 16.

Suppose a researcher wants to test if the average diastolic blood pressure in Irish-Americans is different than the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population. Note that the average diastolic blood pressure in the general population is 70 mmHG. The researcher recruits 30 Irish-Americans into this particular study and then measures each of their diastolic blood pressures (mmHG). The population of this sample has a standard deviation equal to 3.0, and the sample mean is 73. What is the test-statistic in this sample? Group of answer choices 5.477 1.000 30.000 5.385
A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood. Suppose that after a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean ? = 82 and standard deviation ? = 22. Note: After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. For an adult (under 50) after a 12-hour fast, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) x is more than 60(b) x is less than 110(c) x is between 60 and 110(d) x is greater than 125 (borderline diabetes starts at 125)
Suppose we know that the mean score among the population of college students taking the GMAT test is 1000. If the population standard deviation is 1200, and we take a sample of size 100, then what percentage of possible sample means that could be drawn from this population will be less than 1300?
A normally distributed population has a mean equal to 85 and a standard deviation equals 4.0. If a sample of size 49 is selected what is the probability that the sample mean will be less than 73 or greater than 97?
For a standardized psychology examination intended for psychology majors, the historical data show that scores have a mean of 505 and a standard deviation of 170. The grading process of this year's exam has just begun. The mean score of the 40 exams graded so far is 528. What is the probability that a sample of 40 exams will have a mean score of 528 or more if the exam scores follow the same distribution as in the past? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places. 0 X Ś

For a standardized psychology examination intended for psychology majors, the historical data show that scores have a mean of 515 and a standard deviation of 170. The grading process of this year's exam has just begun. The mean score of the 35 exams graded so far is 518. What is the probability that a sample of 35 exams will have a mean score of 518 or more if the exam scores follow the same distribution as in the past? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.
A psychologist obtains a random sample of 30 mothers in the first trimester of their pregnancy. The mothers are asked to play Mozart in the house at least 45 minutes each day until they give birth. We know that IQs are normally distributed with a mean of 100. A few years after their births the children were given an IQ test and the IQs of the 30 children in the study resulted in a sample mean of 104.2. Assume the population standard deviation for IQ of children is 15. Is there evidence that the children who listen to Mozart for at least 45 minutes each day during pregnancy have higher IQs at the 0.05 level of significance? Step 1: Define the parameter & setup the testStep 2: State the Level of SignificanceStep 3: Find the value of the Test StatisticsStep 4: Find P-Value OR Find Critical ValueStep 5: State Conclusion and why
