A personality test has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. Suppose that you're interested in the mean score, u, on this subsection among the general population. You decide that you'll use the mean of a random sample of scores on this subsection to estimate u. What is the minimum sample size needed in order for you to be 90% confident that your estimate is within 3 of µ? Use the value 20 for the population standard deviation of scores on this subsection. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Write your answer as a whole number (and make sure that it is the minimum whole number that satisfies the requirements). (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

Twelve percent of the world's population is left-handed. A researcher claims that left-handed individuals are more creative than those who aren't left- handed. In order to support his claim, he takes a sample of 1650 artists and finds that 14% of them are left-handed. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of p, where p is the proportion of left-handed individuals in a random sample of 1650. (b) Find the standard deviation of p. (c) Compute an approximation for P(p<0.14), which is the probability that there will be 14% or fewer left-handed people in a random sample of 1650. Round your answer to four decimal places.
Mr. Jackson is looking at test scores for his Algebra 2 class. The scores on the Unit 2 Test follow a normal distribution, with a mean of 89 and a standard deviation of 3. What percent of learners scored 86 or better?
You receive a brochure from a large university. The brochure indicates that the mean class size for full-time faculty is fewer than 33 students. You want to test this claim. You randomly select 18 classes taught by full-time faculty and determine the class size of each. The results are shown in the table below. At a = 0.05, can you support the university's claim?

In most cases of study, the statistical analysis is not giving the precise value of measurement but only giving the best estimation value of the precise value. Why is it so?
A random sample of 10,000 bottles of cola was taken to see whether the mean weight was 16 fluid ounces, as marked on the container. The null hypothesis is that the population mean is 16 ounces. Use the read-out below to test the hypothesis that the colas do not have a population mean of 16 fluid ounces. You do not have to do any calculations; just interpret the given data clearly and thoroughly in the context of the problem. | One-Sample T: ounces Test of u = 16 vs = 16 Variable Mean StDev SE Mean 95 CI T P ounces 10000 15.9988 0.0985 0.0010 (15.9969, 16.0007) -1.21 0.225
