A personality test has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. Suppose that you're interested in the mean score, μ, on this subsection among the general population. You decide that you'll use the mean of a random sample of scores on this subsection to estimate μ. What is the minimum sample size needed in order for you to be 90% confident that your estimate is within 3 of μ? Use the value 23 for the population standard deviation of scores on this subsection. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Write your answer as a whole number (and make sure that it is the minimum whole number that satisfies the requirements).
3a) The mean IQ of 200 patients in a psychiatric hospital is 91, with a variance of 16, and the distribution is highly negatively skewed. Between what two IQ scores would we expect to find at least 160 of the patients falling? b) If the distribution was mound-shaped and symmetrical, with the same mean and standard deviation as in part A, approximately how many patients would have IQ scores at or below the 5th percentile or above a score of 97? Answers: a) 82 to 100 b) 28.5 or 29

4. You ask an SRS of 1500 college students whether they applied for admission to any other college. Suppose that in fact 35% of all college students applied to colleges besides the one they are attending. The sampling distribution of the proportion of B your sample who say "Yes" is approximately Normal with mean 0.35 and standard deviation 0.01. Sketch this Normal curve and use it to answer the following questions. (You can use the 68-95-99.7 rule for all these questions.) Round to nearest whole percent. (a) What percentage of many samples would have a larger than 0.37? 2.5 (b) What is the probability that your sample will have a less than 0.33?Å (c) what is the probability that your sample result will be either less than 0.33 or greater than 0.35?
Suppose that we want to estimate the mean reading speed of second graders. The random sample of students' reading speeds we choose has a mean of 29.8 words per minute and a standard deviation of 2.7 words per minute. For each of the following sampling scenarios, determine which test statistic is appropriate to use when making inference statements about the population mean. (In the table, Z refers to a variable having a standard normal distribution, and t refers to a variable having a t distribution.) Sampling Scenario Z t could use either Z or t unclear (1) The sample has size 95, and it is from a non-normally distributed population with a known standard deviation of 3.2.
