(a) Suppose the population standard deviation is 6. If we select one sample of size 25 from the population, then on average, the deviation between the sample mean and the population mean is (b) Now, if we select a larger sample of size 100 from the same population, the deviation between the sample mean and the population is (c) Therefore, the larger the sample size, the (farther or closer?) the sample mean is to the population mean on average.

4. A normal population has the mean of 20 and the variance of 100. A random sample of size n = 69 is selected. (a) Find the standard deviation of the sample mean. (b) How large must the sample be if you want to halve the standard deviation of the sample mean?
A standardized exam’s score are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was 1477 and the standard was 315. The test scores of four students selected at random 1860 1230, 2160, and 1360. Find the Z- score that correspond to each value and determine wether any of the values are unusual. The Z-score for 1860 is-The Z-score for 1230 is-The Z-score for 2160 is-The Z-score for 1360is-
a distribution with a mean of u=41 and a standard deviation of 4 is transformed into a standardized distribution with a mean of u=100 and a standardized deviation =20, find the new standardized score for each of the following values from the original population, x=39, x=36, x=45, x=50
On an intelligence test, the mean number of raw items correct is 236 and the standard deviation is 39. What are the raw (actual) scores on the test for people with IQs of (a) 119, (b) 81, and (c)100? To do this problem, first figure the Z score for the particular IQ score; then use that Z score to find the raw score. Note that IQ scores have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. (a) What is the raw (actual) score on the test for people with an IQ of 119?
Two chemical companies can supply a raw material. The concentration of a particular element in this material is important. The mean concentration for both suppliers is the same, but you suspect that the variability in concentration may differ for the two companies. The standard deviation of concentration in a random sample of n₁ = 10 batches produced by company 1 is s₁ = 4.7 grams per liter, and for company 2, a random sample of n₂ = 16 batches yield s₂ = 5.8 grams per liter. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the two populations variances differ? Use a = 0.05. a. Because 0.321 < 0.657 <3.77, fail to reject the null hypothesis b. Because 0.265 < 0.657 <3.12, fail to reject the null hypothesis c. Because 0.386 < 0.657 <3.01, fail to reject the null hypothesis d. None among the choices
The distribution of sample means for bi-monthly employee income at a particular company for samples of 70 employees is normal with a mean of $5921 and a standard deviation of $219. You take a random sample of 70 employees from the company and find that their mean bi-monthly income is $5668. How many standard deviations is the sample mean from the mean of the distribution of sample means?
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?
P3. Show that the mle of unknown standard deviation when the mean is known is different from the sample standard deviation when the random sample is taken from a normal population characterized by two parameters, mean and variance. Which estimator is unbiased? Justify your answer. Show that a sample mean is a minimum variance unbiased estimator of the mean of a normal population with known variance.
If we meet these conditions, the sampling distribution of the mean will have a normal shape and ... The mean of the sampling distribution will be u, (i.e., the same as the population mean) and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution will be (that's the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size). In the AP Stats Guy video, he talks about the number of text messages his students send during class. Suppose the average number of text messages his students send during class is u = 30 text messages. If we take samples of say, n = 36 students at a time, we would expect the mean of the sampling distribution we create to be the same as the population mean, 30 text messages. If we can further say that standard deviation of the number of text messages is 12 text messages, by how much would we expect the sample means to vary? (hint, use the formula above) text messages
