According to the Center for Disease Control, young adult women have an average systolic blood pressure of 114.8 with a standard deviation of 13.1. Systolic blood pressure for young adult women follows a normal distribution. Four young adult women were randomly selected, find the probability that their average systolic blood pressure is greater than 125. P(x > 125) = For this problem, we were told that the distribution is normal. If the shape of the distribution was not stated, we would not have been able to use the normal distribution table to find the probability. What does the Central Limit Theorem tell us to do to be able to normalize the distribution? What is the rule of thumb for normalizing the sampling distribution of means?

Suppose that you want to perform a hypothesis test based on independent random samples to compare the means of two populations. You know that the two distributions of the variable under consideration have the same shape and may be normal. You take the two samples and find that the data for one of the samples contain outliers. Which procedure would you use? Explain your answer.
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 5 of μ ? Use the value 22 for the population standard deviation of scores on this subsection.
If x represents a random variable with mean 131 and standard deviation 40, then the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the means with sample size 100 is 4. O True O False
A random variable is normally distributed. It has a mean of 283 and a standard deviation of 21. If you take a sample of size 14, can you say what the shape of the sampling distribution for the sample mean is? Why? If the sample size is 14, then you can say the sampling distribution of the sample mean is not normally distributed since the sample size is less than 30. O If the sample size is 14, then you can say the sampling distribution of the sample mean is normally distributed since the variable is normally distributed. If the sample size is 14, then you can't say anything about the sampling distribution of the sample mean, since the population of the random variable is not normally distributed and the sample size is less than 30. For a sample of size 14, state the mean of the sample mean and the standard deviation of the sample mean. Round to two decimal places if necessary. Hx= 0x = For a sample of size 14, find the probability that the sample mean is more than 280. P(x > 280) = If…
If X represents a random variable coming from a normal distribution with mean 5 and if P(X>6.1)=0.2, then P(5<X<6.1)=0.3. True False
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).
Solve normal distribution problem #11
Provide an original example of some practical case where we can use the normal distribution (e.g., IQ scores follow a normal distribution of probabilities with a mean IQ of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 IQ points.). Assign your numbers for mean 70 and standard deviation 30. Make sure 70 is about four times bigger than 30. Then select any number 90 below or above mean 70, but not too far from 70. Find following two probabilities: 1) P(x < a)2) P(x > a)Use the formula z = (a - μ)/σ to calculate your z-value. Please refer to the Appendix Table for the Standard Normal Distribution Hint: To find P(x>a) use formula: P(x>a) = 1 - P(x<a). Describe how to would find P( 65 < x < 25). Provide an original example to illustrate how to find such probabilities.
A researcher has run an experiment on the effects of early cognitive simulation on children and their school success at age 10 years. He wants to compare his sample results to the normal distribution (z-distribution), but he is not sure whether the population distribution is normal or not. He comes to you as an expert in statistics for advice. Can he do this? Why or why not? What conditions must be met?
Given a population mean of 3.4, and a population standard deviation of 1.2, how would I use the central limit theorem to find the probability the mean size given a random size sample of n = 100, would be more than 3?
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. (2) The sample has size 19, and it is from a population with a distribution about which we know very little.
