A survey is commissioned to study the weight of NFL players at certain positions. Of the 188 active NFL wide receivers, a simple random sample of size 36 is selected and the sample mean is determined to be overline{x}=179.8 pounds. It is known that the standard deviation is σ=4.1 pounds. What is the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for μ. Round your answer to 3 decimal places if necessary.

A study of a population showed that males' body temperatures are approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 98.4°F and a population standard deviation of 0.40°F. What body temperature does a male have if he is at the 95th percentile? Draw a well-labeled sketch to support your answer.
Suppose that a category of world class runners are known to run a marathon (26 miles) in an average of 146 minutes with a standard deviation of 13minutes. Consider 49 of the races.Let X = the average of the 49 races. Find the 60th percentile for the average of these 49 marathons. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)min
A standardized exam's scores are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was 1522 and the standard deviation was 311. The test scores of four students selected at random are 1950, 1260, 2190, and 1410. Find the z-scores that correspond to each value and determine whether any of the values are unusual. The z-score for 1950 is. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Calcium levels in people are normally distributed with a mean of 9.7 mgdL and a standard deviation of 0.5 mgdL . Individuals with calcium levels in the bottom 10% of the population are considered to have low calcium levels. Find the calcium level that is the borderline between low calcium levels and those not considered low. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to one decimal place.

You collected data from a random sample of students on their impressions of the university. On a particular opinion item item, the mean for male students was 15.2 -- with a standard deviation of 3.4. The mean on that item for women was 14.4, with a standard deviation of 3.8. Calculate Cohen's d effect size. IN THE SPACE BELOW, write the effect size AND your interpretation of it.
