Is Washington, D.C. different from the rest of the United States? When a simple random sample of 400 families is taken in Washington, the mean income is $46,211 with a standard deviation of $12, 214. Another sample of 900 families throughout the United States finds the mean income to be $44,344 with a standard deviation of $10,103. Is the mean income in Washington, D.C. higher than the mean income in the rest of the country? Use a 5% significance level.

Olive weights are classified according to a unique set of adjectives implying great size. For example, the mean weight of olives classified as “Colossal” is 7.7 gm. Suppose a particular company’s crop of “Colossal” olives is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 7.7 gm and a standard deviation of 0.2 gm. What represents the probability that the mean weight of a random sample of 3 olives from this population is greater than 8 gm?
The average credit card debt for a recent year was $8,776. Five years earlier the average credit card debt was $8,189. Assume sample sizes of 32 were used and the population standard deviations of both samples were $690. Is there evidence to conclude that the average credit card debt has increased?
The SAT and ACT college entrance exam are taken by thousands of students each year. The mathematics portions of each of these exams produce scores that are approximately normally distributed. In recent years, SAT mathematics exam scores have averaged 480 with standard deviation 100. The average and standard deviation for ACT mathematics scores are 18 and 6, respectively. a. An engineering school sets 550 as the minimum SAT math score for new students. What percentage of students will score below 550 in a typical year? b. What score should the engineering school set as a comparable standard on the ACT math test?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mean salary for registered nurses in Kentucky was $55,130. The distribution of salaries is assumed to be normally distributed with a standard deviation of $5,778. Someone would like to determine if registered nurses in Ohio have a greater average pay. To investigate this claim, a sample of 220 registered nurses is selected from the Ohio Board of Nursing, and each is asked their annual salary. The mean salary for this sample of 220 nurses is found to be $55,504.488. Completely describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean salary when samples of size 220 are selected. mean: μ x-bar = ____ standard deviation: σ x-bar = ____ shape: the distribution of is ____________(not normally distributed/normally distributed) because ___________ (the sample size is large/the sample size is not large/the population of salaries is normally distributed/the population of salaries is not normally distributed)
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mean salary for registered nurses in Kentucky was $57,688. The distribution of salaries is assumed to be normally distributed with a standard deviation of $5,879. Someone would like to determine if registered nurses in Ohio have a greater average pay. To investigate this claim, a sample of 192 registered nurses is selected from the Ohio Board of Nursing, and each is asked their annual salary. The mean salary for this sample of 192 nurses is found to be $58,016.005. 1. Completely describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean salary when samples of size 192 are selected. 2. What conjecture has been made? 3. Using the distribution described in part a, what is the probability of observing a sample mean of 58,016.005 or more? 4. Based on the probability found, what conclusion can be reached?
