The World Health Organization reports that the distribution of ages at time of death in the United States has mean u of 79.8 years and a standard deviation o of 15.5 years, based on death certificates. The distribution of ages at time of death is obviously left-skewed. Researchers plan to take a random sample of 100 American death certificates. a)What are the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the mean age at death, x̄, for samples of 100 American death certificates? b) Explain why the sampling distribution of x̄ is approximately Normal. c) What is the probability that the mean age at time of death in a random sample of 100 American death certificates will be less than 78 years?

Lexie wants to know the proportion of shoppers at Lakeline Mall who are 25 years old or younger. She takes a random sample of 300 shoppers at Lakeline Mall and sees that 189 of them were 25 years old or younger. Let p represent the proportion of shoppers at Lakeline Mall that are 25 years old or younger. Identify the population and the sample in this study. Population = the 300 shoppers selected; Sample = all of the shoppers at this mall. Population = all of the shoppers at this mall; Sample = the number of people 25 years old or less. Population = all of the shoppers at this mall; Sample = the 300 shoppers selected. Population = the 300 shoppers selected; Sample = the number of people 25 years old or less.

Español Among college students, the proportion p who say they're interested in their congressional district's election results has traditionally been 65%. After a series of debates on campuses, a political scientist daims that the proportion of college students who say they're interested in their district's election results is more than 65%. A poll is commissioned, and 173 out of a random sample of 260 college students say they're interested in their district's election results. Is there enough evidence to support the political scientist's claim at the 0.05 level of significance? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H1. H, :0 H :0 (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. (Choose one) D=0 OSO (c) Find the value of the test statistic. (Round to three or more decimal places.) ロ=ロ O
