According to a poll, 55% of Americans do not know that GOP stands for Grand Old Party (Time, October 17, 2011). Assume that this percentage is true for the current population of Americans. Let p be the proportion in a random sample of 925 Americans who do not know that GÓP stands for Grand Old Party. Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of p and describe its shape.

Person A scores 78 on an exam that has a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 5. Person B scores 38 on an exam that has a mean of 32 and a standard deviation of 3. Explain who did better on their exam compared to their classmates person A or B.
Suppose Professor Alpha and Professor Omega each teach Introductory Biology. You need to decide which professor to take the class from and have just completed your Introductory Statistics course. Records obtained from past students indicate that students in Professor Alpha's class have a mean score of 80% with a standard deviation of 5%, while past students in Professor Omega's Class have a mean score of 80% with a standard deviation of 10%. Decide which instructor to take for Introductory Biology using a statistical argument.
Phyllis, a college business student wants to study how many students in her class study for less than 20 hours per week. Past data reveals that the hours college students study per week has a mean of 29 with standard deviation 9 hours. The normal distribution for the population is shown by the dotted black line. She plans to take a random sample of 36 such college students and will calculate the mean hours studying to compare to the known hours studying. Compute the the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means for a sample of size 36. Round your answers to the nearest tenth. Show your answer by moving the two draggable points to build the sampling distribution.

In a random sample of ten cell phones, the mean full retail price was $554.00 and the standard deviation was $167.00.
