A wildlife study is designed to find the mean weight of salmon caught by an Alaskan fishing company. It is known that o = 2,15pounds. How large a sample should be taken to be 99% confident that the sample mean is within 0.2O pounds of the true mean weight of the salmon caught? 669 Salmon 794 Salmon O 683 Salmon 770 Salmon

#8. Using Minitab to illustrate the Central Limit Theorem (CLT), the CLT tells us about the sampling distribution of the sample mean. With Minitab we can easily "sample" from a population with known properties (4,0 , shape). a. Our population consists of integer values X from 1 through 8, all equally likely Р(x) 3D 1/8; х %3D 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Using methods from the beginning of Chapter 4 in the textbook, find u. Use your calculator to find u. What is the shape of this probability distribution? Does it o =2.29 "look" Normal? b. Take a sample of size 3 from this population and compute the sample mean. Repeat this process 1000 times.

Alexander Borbely is a professor at the University of Zurich Medical School, where he is director of the sleep laboratory. The histogram in the figure below is based on information from his book Secrets of Sleep. The histogram displays hours of sleep per day for a random sample of 200 subjects. Estimate the mean hours of sleep, standard deviation of hours of sleep and coefficient of variation. (Enter mean to 1 decimal place, s and CV to 2 decimal places.)
As a sample gets smaller and smaller, the sample mean tends to get closer and closer to the population. mean A. TrueB. FalseC. None of the above
A grocer finds that the cantaloupes in his store have weights with mean 0.7 kg and standard deviation 53 grams. If this is true, then 99.7% of cantaloupes will have weights between how many grams?
Researchers examined the mechanical properties of webs spun by the orb spider. A table in their published report gives summary statistics for a number of variables in the form of the mean plus or minus the standard error of the mean. This form is very common in scientific publications. For 17 adult female spiders, web areas (in square centimeters, cm2) are 640±37. What are ? and s for these spider webs? (Enter your answer as a whole number for ? and rounded to one decimal place for s ) I know x bar is 640, but what is "s"? Is it the SEM of standard deviation? how to I calculate it?
