A population has a mean µ = 161 and a standard deviation o = 20. Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means with sample size n = 56. The mean is = μx (Round to three decimal places as needed.) and the standard deviation is o- = X 3 X
A persons blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related XB a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood. Supposed to after a 12 hour fast the random variable X will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean of u=87 and a standard deviation of O=25. Note: after 50 years of age both the mean and Standard deviation tends to increase for an adult under 50 after 12 hour fast find the following probabilities A) X is more than 60 B) X is less than 60 C) X is between 60 and 110 D) X is greater than 125 (borderline diabetes starts at 125)
The viscosity of a liquid detergent is supposed to average 800 centistokes at 25°C. A random sample of 16 batches of detergent is collected, and the average viscosity is 812. Suppose we know that the standard deviation of viscosity is σ = 25 centistokes. (a) What is the P-value for the test? (b) Find a 95 percent confidence interval on the mean.
In the year 2033, Sarai Patterson is a leading traveling nurse. Sarai is interested in reducing the mean recovery time for patients after experiencing a serious injury (assume recovery times are normally distributed). Suppose the mean recovery time is presently 8.6 months. Sarai takes a random sample of 46 patients that have experienced serious injury to participate in a new treatment program and finds the sample mean is 8.1 months and a sample standard deviation of 1.2 months. Using α = 0.05, answer the following questions. a) What is the setup for your null and alternative hypothesis? b) What is the value of the test statistic? c) What is/are the critical value(s)?

A company that makes cola drinks states that the mean caffeine content per 12-ounce bottle of cola 40 milligrams. You want to test this claim. During your tests, you find that a random sample of thirty 12-ounce bottles of cola has a mean caffeine content of 39.2 milligrams. Assume the population is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 7.5 milligrams. At α=0.01, can you reject the company’s claim?

Vehicle speeds at a certain highway location are believed to have approximately a normal distribution with mean µ = 50 mph and standard deviation σ = 5 mph. The speeds for a randomly selected sample of n = 25 vehicles will be recorded. (a) Give numerical values for the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of possible sample means for randomly selected samples of n = 25 from the population of vehicle speeds. Mean = s.d.(x) = (b) Use the Empirical Rule to find values that fill in the blanks in the following sentence. For a random sample of n = 25 vehicles, there is about a 95% chance that the mean vehicle speed in the sample will be between and mph. (c) Sample speeds for a random sample of 25 vehicles are measured at this location, and the sample mean is 59 mph. Given the answer to part (b), explain whether this result is consistent with the belief that the mean speed at this location is μ = 50 mph. A sample mean of 59 mph (when n = 25) --Select--- be consistent with…
