A manager of a fast-food chain wants to analyze the length of time a vehicle spends at the drive-through window waiting for an order. According to records obtained from the chain, the population mean time spent waiting at the window was 236.5 seconds with a population standard deviation of 34.8 seconds. It is known that the distribution of time waiting at the window is extremely right-skewed. The waiting time was recorded for a random sample of 21 vehicles. For the random sample obtained, the sample mean waiting time was found to be 254.6 seconds with a sample standard deviation of 23.1 seconds. Suppose the process of taking random samples of size 21 is repeated 1,000 times and a histogram of the 1,000 sample means lengths is created. The mean of the sampling distribution presented in the histogram will be approximately: O a. We do not have enough information to find the mean of the sampling distribution. O b. 254.6 seconds OC 4,966.5 seconds Od. 236.5 seconds

A researcher would like to estimate the mean amount of money that a family spends to within $75. If the amount spent by a family is considered to be normally distributed with a standard deviation of $412, what sample size would be necessary to be 93% confident?
The National Coalition on Healthcare suggests that the mean annual premium that a health insurer charges an employer for a health plan covering a family of four averaged $13,000 in 2009. A sample of 30 families of four yields a mean annual premium paid by their employer to be $13,500 with a sample standard deviation of $300. We are interested in whether the mean annual premium that a health insurer charges an employer for a health plan covering a family of four is different from $13,000 using a significance level of 0.10. Select one: a. tdata = 9.129, do not reject Ho. b. tdata = 9.129, reject Ho. c. tdata = -9.129, do not reject Ho. O d. tdata = 4.156, reject Ho.

The mortality rate from melanoma (skin cancer) during the 1950s was recorded for each of the 48 contiguous United States, plus Washington, D.C. (as reported by Fisher and Van Belle (1993) and found at http://www.stat.psu.edu/~lsimon/stat501wc/sp05/data/ The following is the scatterplot of the data: Mortality per 10 million 225 200 175 150 125 100- 30 35 Scatter plot 40 Latitude r=-.83 45 50 The plot shows a negative linear relationship between the latitude of the state and melanoma mortality rate. Which of the following is an appropriate interpretation of the negative relationship shown in the scatterplot above? A. O The more southern the state, the more people that died of melanoma. B. O The more southern the state, the higher the melanoma death rate. C. The more northern the state, the higher the melanoma death rate.

Records from the Washington Department of Licensing show that 47 former SFCC business students have incorporated their own businesses in the last five years. Eight of these students are selected at random and contacted. Each is asked how many people are employed by their corporation. The responses are: 7, 12, 13, 17, 10, 5, 10, and 6 employees. What is your best estimate of the standard deviation of the number of employees for all 47 corporations?
