A simple random sample of size n=16 is obtained from a population of student heights that is normally distributed with a mean of 69.8 inches and a standard deviation of 4.1 inches. Is the sampling distribution normally distributed? Why? O Yes, the sampling distribution is normally distributed because the population is normally distributed. O Yes, the sampling distribution is normally distributed because the population mean is greater than 30. O No, the sampling distribution is not normally distributed because the population is not normally distributed. O No, the sampling distribution is not normally distributed because the sample size is less than 30.

To become an actuary, it is necessary to pass a series of 10 exams, including the most important one, an exam in probability and statistics. An insurance company wants to estimate the mean score on this exam for actuarial students who have enrolled in a special study program. They take a sample of 8 actuarial students in this program and find the mean of the sample is 6.0 with standard deviation of the sample 2.0. This sample will be used to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean score for actuarial students in the special study program. A 95% confidence interval for the mean score of actuarial students in the special program is from ________ to ________. Question 17 options: 1) 3.52 to 8.47 2) 4.69 to 7.31 3) 4.66 to 7.34 4) 4.33 to 7.67
There are 120 students at Francis Howell North High School. Mr. Willott conducts a poll that asks 20 randomly selected students how many hours of sleep they got last night. They find that the mean amount of sleep is 6.7 hours. The population standard deviation is o = 2 hours. Can we estimate the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of means by using %3D V20 0.447 hours? O No, because we don't know that the distribution of sleep hours for the population is approximately Nor. O No, because we can't be sure that the central limit theorem applies to this situation. O Yes, because all the conditions for using this formula have been met. O No, because "hours of sleep" is not a continuous variable. O No, because the sample is more than 10% of the population.
Suppose a test is given to 20 randomly selected college freshmen in Ohio. The sample average score on the test is 12 points and the sample standard deviation is 4 points. Suppose the same test is given to 16 randomly selected college freshmen in Iowa. The sample average score on the test is 8 points and the sample standard deviation is 3 points. We want to test whether there is a significant difference in scores of college freshmen in Ohio versus Iowa. What is the point estimate for the difference in population means, where difference is defined as (Ohio minus Iowa)?
Phyllis, a college business student wants to study how many students in her class study for less than 20 hours per week. Past data reveals that the hours college students study per week has a mean of 29 with standard deviation 9 hours. The normal distribution for the population is shown by the dotted black line. She plans to take a random sample of 36 such college students and will calculate the mean hours studying to compare to the known hours studying. Compute the the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means for a sample of size 36. Round your answers to the nearest tenth. Show your answer by moving the two draggable points to build the sampling distribution.
The overhead reach distances of adult females are normally distributed with a mean of 197.5 cm and a standard deviation of 8 cm.Find the probability that a individual distance 207.50 cm.Find the probability that a mean for 20 randomly selected distances is greater than 195.30cm.Why can the normal distribution be used in part B even though the sample size does not exceed 30
Suppose a professor uses a normal distribution to assign grades in her math class. • She assigns an A to students scoring more than 1.9 standard deviations above the mean. • She assigns an F to students scoring more than 2.2 standard deviations below the mean. She assigns a B to students who Score between 1 and 1.9 standard deviations above the mean. • She assigns a D to students who Score between 1.2 and 2.2 standard deviations below the mean. • All other students get a C. Use the Cumulative Z-Score Table to answer the following questions. The Z-Score Table can be found below by selecting "Read". Write your answer as a percent using 2 decimal places. What percent of the class receives each grade assuming the scores are normally distributed? Hint % will recieve an A % will recieve a B % will recieve a C % will recieve a D % will recieve an F
A random variable is normally distributed. It has a mean of 249 and a standard deviation of 22. If you take a sample of size 13, can you say what the shape of the sampling distribution for the sample mean is? Why? If you take a sample of size 40, can you say what the shape of the distribution of the sample mean is? Why? If the sample size is 40, then you can't say anything about the sampling distribution of the sample mean, since the population of the random variable is not normally distributed and the sample size is greater than 30. If the sample size is 40, then you can say the sampling distribution of the sample mean is not normally distributed since the sample size is greater than 30. If the sample size is 40, then you can say the sampling distribution of the sample mean is normally distributed since the variable is normally distributed. For a sample of size 40, state the mean of the sample mean and the standard deviation of the sample mean. Round to two decimal places if…
To study the IQ of middle school students, a sample of 64 middle schoolers is selected and the population standard deviation for middle schoolers IQ is 16, then the standard deviation of the sampling distribution for mean IQ of middle schoolers is 2. O True O False
Suppose the ages of Internet shoppers have a mean of 32 years and a standard deviation of 5 years. If you select a random sample of 100 Internet shoppers, what is the probability that the average age of the sample is 30.9 years or more? (use the concept of sampling distribution of mean and central limit theorem)
Deanna is the principal at a Midwestern middle school and wants to know the average IQ of all female, seventh grade students. She does not know anything about what the population distribution looks like. She took a simple random sample of 31 seventh-grade girls in her school and found the average IQ score in her sample was 105.8 and the standard deviation was 15. Using the sample standard deviation above to estimate the population standard deviation, what is the minimum sample size needed for a 99.5% confidence interval to have a margin of error of no more than 2.3?
What would be the mean of the sampling distribution of all possible sample means obtained from this population? If population with a positively skewed distribution of scores has a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 4.
