Question 10. Sketch or describe in words the sampling distribution of . Identify landmarks on the horizontal axis of this sampling distribution that are ±1 and ±2 standard deviations around its center.
- The sampling distribution of is N(50, 1); the marks ±1 standard deviations around its center are 49 and 51, and the marks ±2 standard deviations around its center are 48 and 52.
- The sampling distribution of is N(50, 5); the marks ±1 standard deviations around its center are 45 and 55, and the marks ±2 standard deviations around its center are 40 and 60.
- The sampling distribution of is N(50, 25); the marks ±1 standard deviations around its center are 25 and 50, and the marks ±2 standard deviations around its center are 0 and 100.
Question 11. Would you be surprised to find a sample mean of 47 under these conditions? Explain your reasoning.
- Yes, it is less than 2 standard deviations from the center of its sampling distribution
- Yes, it is greater than 2 standard deviations from the center of its sampling distribution
- No, it is within 2 standard deviations from the center of its sampling distribution
- Cannot be determined based on this information
Question 12. Would you be surprised to find a sample mean of 51.5? Explain your reasoning.
- Yes, it is less than 2 standard deviations from the center of its sampling distribution
- Yes, it is greater than 2 standard deviations from the center of its sampling distribution
- No, it is within 2 standard deviations from the center of its sampling distribution
- Cannot be determined based on this information
Pediatric asthma survey, n = 250. Suppose that asthma affects 1 in 20 children in a population, and let’s assume we have collected a sample of 250 children from this population.
Question 13. Can we use the Normal approximation to the binomial in this instance?
- Yes
- No
Question 14. What is the probability of seeing at least 25 cases in a sample (use Normal approximation to the binomial)?
- < 0.001
- 0.15
- 0.85
- > 0.999
