A survey asks a random sample of 1500 adults in Ohio if they support an increase in the state sales tax from 5% to 6%, with the additional revenue going to education. Let p denote the proportion in the sample that say they support the increase. Suppose that 40% of all adults in Ohio support the increase. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of p is O 0 40 O 0.00033 O 00126 O 0.00016 O 024

In the past Algebra classes, records show that the average score of the students in mid-term exam was computed to be equal to 83.5 with a standard deviation of 4.82. If there are 50 students in a particular class, then assuming normality of the distribution, how many of the students are expected to have a mid-term score of 1. a) above 83.5? b) below 70? c) above 90? d) between 75 -85?
Suppose it is known that the mean and standard deviation of the scores on a statistics final are 71.36 and 8.57, respectively. Calculate an interval that is symmetric around the mean such that it contains approximately 95% of scores. Assume that the scores have a normal distribution. Question 4 options: 1) (71.36, 8.57) 2) (54.22, 88.5) 3) (88.5, 54.22) 4) (62.79, 79.93) 5) (79.93, 62.79)

Suppose the scores of students on an exam are normally distributed with a mean of 444 and a standard deviation of 65. Then approximately 68% of the exam scores lie between the integers _____ and ____ such that the mean is halfway between these two integers.
The Wall Street Journal reported that 33% of taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes between $30000 and $60000 itemized deductions on their federal income tax return. The mean amount of deductions for this population of taxpayers was 17226. Assume that the standard deviation is 2011. a. What is the probability that a sample of taxpayers from this income group who have itemized deductions will show a sample mean within 182 of the population mean for each of the following sample sizes: 30, 50,100, and 400? Round your answers to four decimals. b.A larger sample (increases)the probability that the sample mean will be within a specified distance of the population mean. In this instance, the probability of being within 182(+-) of u ranges from (____)for a sample of size to (____)for a sample of size 400.
