A tire manufacturer hopes that their newly designed tires will allow a car traveling at sixty mph to come to a complete stop within an average of 125 feet after the brakes are applied. They will adopt the new tires unless there is strong evidence that the tires do not meet this objective (if the distance statistically greater than the expected, then it means the tires do not meet the objective). The distances for 9 sample stops on a test track were: 129, 128, 130, 132, 135, 123, 125, 128, and 130.

Part C. Compute the sample mean and sample deviation.
For a population with a mean equal to 200 and a standard deviation equal to 30, calculate the standard error of the mean for the following sample sizes. a) 20 b) 40 c) 60 a) The standard error of the mean for a sample size of 20 is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) b) The standard error of the mean for a sample size of 40 is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) c) The standard error of the mean for a sample size of 60 is
In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. A survey of houses and traditional hogans was made in a number of different regions of the modern Navajo Indian Reservation. The following table is the result of a random sample of eight regions on the Navajo Reservation. I need help with (c), sketching and (d) and (e)
In spite of the potential safety hazards, some people would like to have an Internet connection in their car. A preliminary survey of adult Americans has estimated this proportion to be somewhere around 0.30. Use the given preliminary estimate to determine the sample size required to estimate this proportion with a margin of error of 0.05.

It is generally believed that the heights of adult females in the U.S. are approximately normally distributed with mean 65 inches and standard deviation 4 inches. A small university is considering custom ordering beds for their dorm rooms. Answer the following questions about the lengths of beds in dorm rooms at this university. A. The beds that the university currently purchases are 70 inches long. What proportion of females will be able to fit on the bed while lying perfectly straight (less than 70”)? Draw/Label/Shade a curve with this information and provide the value of the requested proportion. B. What is the height of a female who is in the top 10% for her height? Draw/Label/Shade
