A researcher studying the sleep habits of teens will select a random sample of n teens from the population to survey. The researcher will construct a t-interval to estimate the mean number of hours of sleep that teens in the population get each night. Which of the following is true about the t-distribution as the value of n decreases from 40 to 20 ? A The center decreases, and the area in the tails of the distribution increases. B The center increases, and the area in the tails of the distribution decreases. The center remains constant, and the area in the tails of the distribution remains constant. D The center remains constant, and the area in the tails of the distribution decreases. E The center remains constant, and the area in the tails of the distribution increases.

Assume that ﬁnal exam scores in a given course are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 10 points. In a class of 200 students, how many would you expect to fail the exam (i.e., score less than 60) (note: scores can only be approximately normally distributed, because the minimum score is 0, but this should not alter the answer, given how large the mean is relative to the standard deviation).

The percent of fat calories that a person consumes each day is normally distributed with a mean of about 35 and a standard deviation of about ten. Suppose that 9 individuals are randomly chosen. Let X = average percent of fat calories. For the group of 9, find the probability that the average percent of fat calories consumed is more than six. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
A political newspaper, Politically Sound, is interested in the distances voters in Rising Falls County live from their nearest polling station. Politically Sound has hired you to estimate the population mean of all such distances for voters in this county. To estimate this population mean, you select a random sample of 17 Rising Falls County voters and record the distance (in km) each voter lives from their nearest polling station. Assume the population is approximately normally distributed. Based on your sample, follow the steps below to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean of all the distances voters in Rising Falls County live from their nearest polling station. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample. Take Sample Number of voters 17 Sample mean 4.757 Sample standard deviation 2.363 Enter the values of the sample size, the point estimate of the mean, the sample standard deviation, and the…
A standardized exam's scores are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was 1458 and the standard deviation was 312. The test scores of four students selected at random are 1860, 1220, 2150, and 1340. Find the z-scores that correspond to each value and determine whether any of the values are unusual. The z-score for 1860 is (Round to two decimal plaes as needed.)
Use the Central Limit Theorem to find the mean and standard error of the mean of the sampling distribution. Then sketch a graph of the sampling distribution. The mean price of photo printers on a website is $227 with a standard deviation of $69. Random samples of size 31 are drawn from this population and the mean of each sample is determined. The mean of the distribution of sample means is nothing.
Exactly 95% of a normal distribution is located between z = +1.96 and z = -1.96. How much of the distribution is located in the tail beyond z = +1.96?
