According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the mean life expectancy in 2015 for Hispanic females was 84.3 years. Assume that the standard deviation was 15 years, as suggested by the Bureau of Economic Research. The distribution of age at death, X, is not normal because it is skewed to the left. Nevertheless, the distribution of the mean, x, in all possible samples of size n is approximately normal if n is large enough, by the central limit theorem. Let x be the mean life expectancy in a sample of 100 Hispanic females. Determine the interval centered at the population mean µ such that 95% of sample means x will fall in the interval. Give your answers precise to one decimal.

Suppose the scores of students on an exam are normally distributed with a mean of 253 and a standard deviation of 80. According to the empirical rule, what percentage of students scored between 13 and 493 on the exam?
The GSS survey is conducted for approximately 2200 adults every year, since 1972 for a total of more than 38,000 participants. During several years of the GSS, participants were asked how many close friends they have. The mean for this variable was 7.44 friends, with a standard deviation of 10.98. The median was 5.00 and the mode was 4.00. What do the mean and standard deviation suggest about the shape of the distribution?
When the Stanford-Binet IQ test came into use in 1932, it was adjusted so that scores for each age group of children followed roughly the Normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. The test is readjusted from time to time to keep the mean at 100. If present-day American children took the 1932 Stanford-Binet test, their mean score would be about 120. The reasons for the increase in IQ over time are not known but probably include better childhood nutrition and more experience in taking tests. A) IQ scores above 130 are often called "very superior." What percentage of children had very superior scores in 1932? B) If present-day children took the 1932 test, what percentage would have very superior scores? (Assume that the standard deviation 15 does not change.)

Suppose that in the population of all healthy humans, body temperature follows a normal distribution with mean 98.2 and standard deviation of 0.5.

Suppose that a recent article stated the mean time spent in jail by a first-time convicted burglar is 2.7 years. A study was then done to see if the mean time has increased in the new century. A random sample of 27 first-time convicted burglars in a recent year was picked. The mean length of time in jail from the survey was 3.01 with a standard deviation of 1.78 years. Assume that the distribution of jail times is approximately normal. Test the claim at the level of significance 0.1. Select one: a) t_stat = 0.9 and t_cr = 1.31 : The mean time increased significantly in the new century b) t_stat = 0.9 and t_cr = 1.31 : The mean time didn’t increase in the new century c) t_stat = 0.99 and t_cr = 1.71 : The mean time didn’t increase in the new century d) t_stat = 0.99 and t_cr = 1.71 : The mean time increased significantly in the new century
