A veterinary researcher takes an SRS of 60 horses presenting with colic whose average age is 12 years. The average age of all horses seen at the veterinary clinic was determined to be 10 years. The researcher also determined that the standard deviation of horses coming to the veterinary clinic is 8 years. After making a histogram of the ages of the horses with colic, the researcher finds a skewed distribution. The researcher decides there is no need to increase the sample size because the law of large numbers: O a. depends on the sample size being just right when the population distribution is skewed. O b. does not depend on the population distribution being either skewed or symmetric. O c. requires a population distribution that is Normal. O d. All of the answer options are correct.

The chocolate chip cookies that are produced at Perry’s Cookie Emporium have weights which are approximately normally distributed with the mean weight 180 grams and with standard deviations 20 grams. The cookies, however, are sold by count, not by weight. Perry wants to improve his image, so he decides to set aside lightest 20% of the cookies to be packaged and sold separately. What cookie weight will divide the lightest 20% from the heaviest 80%?
Steel rods are manufactured with a mean length of 25 centimeters. Because of variability in the manufacturing process, the lengths of the rods are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.08cm. Any rods that are shorter than 24.81cm or longer than 25.19cm are discarded. What proportion of the rods will be discarded?

Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake isμ=19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a simple random sample of 38 fish caught, the mean length was 19.9 inches, with estimated standard deviation of 3.1 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is different from μ=19inches? Use α=0.001. What is the value of the test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)Find the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
The average high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level of adult females is 53 milligrams per deciliter. You want to determine whether the true mean female HDL cholesterol level is more than the average. You decide to pull a random sample of 12 adult females and measure their HDL cholesterol level. You find the sample mean is 54.1 milligrams per deciliter and the standard deviation is 1.78 milligrams per deciliter. What are the test statistic and the p-value? O The test statistic is 2.14 and the p-value is 0.0278. O The test statistic is 0.0278 and the p-value is 2.14. O The test statistic is 1.1 and the p-value is 0.0278.

Willow Road and Arroyo Seco are schools in different states. The heights of students at Willow Road have a population mean of 50.4 inches and a standard deviation of 6 inches. The heights of students at Arroyo Seco have a population mean of 54.3 inches with a standard deviation of 2.3 inches. For each school, the distribution of the heights of students is clearly bell-shaped.Elsa is a student at Willow Road and is 67 inches tall. Jane is a student at Arroyo Seco and is 59 inches tall.
The first experiment I created 200 samples with 10 students in each and took each sample's mean. The mean of this distribution was about 10.7 miles with a standard deviation of 3.7 miles. (See video) Next I did 200 samples with 20 students each, then I did 200 samples with 50 students each and finally I did 200 samples with 100 students each. Watch the following video and answer the following questions about the sampling distributions being created. 1) For the samples with 100 students each, when the sampling is complete, what will the mean be close to or equal to? 2) For the samples with 100 students each, when the sampling is complete, will the standard deviation be smaller than the standard deviation for the samples with 50 students each? 3) What is the mean of the population of students that I am randomly sampling from? 4) What is the name of the important theorem that I am demonstrating right now.?
