Án SRS of 25 recent birth records at the local hospital was selected. In the sample, the average birth weight was x = 119.6 ounce Suppose the standard deviation is known to be s = 6.5 ounces. Assume that in the population of all babies born in this hospital, the birth weights follow a Normal distribution, with mean m. Based on the 25 recent birth records, the sampling distribution of the sample mean x can be represented by: a. N(119.6, 1.30). O b. N(119.6, 6.5). O c. N(m, 1.30). d. N(m, 6.5).

To compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 43 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.6 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 46 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.5 feet. At α=0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles? Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. The critical value(s) is/are Find the standardized test statistic z for μ1−μ2.
For samples of the specified size from the population described, find the mean and standard deviation of the sample meanx. The National Weather Service keeps records of snowfall in mountain ranges. Records indicate that in a certain range, the annual snowfall has a mean of 83 inches and a standard deviation of 14 inches. Suppose the snowfalls are sampled during randomly picked years. For samples of size 49, determine the mean and standard deviation of x A) μ=83; 0x=2 B) μ = 2; σ= 83 Oc C) μ = 83; σ= 14 D) u 14; = 83 =
A nutritionist claims that the mean tuna consumption by a person is 3.6 pounds per year. A sample of 90 people shows that the mean tuna consumption by a person is 3.4 pounds per year. Assume the population standard deviation is 1.11 pounds. At α=0.06, can you reject the claim?

Assume that the readings at freezing on a batch of thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C. A single thermometer is randomly selected and tested. Let Z represent the reading of this thermometer at freezing. What reading separates the highest 5.66% from the rest? That is, if P(z > c) = 0.0566, find c. с — °C
A distribution with a mean of μ =41 and a standard deviation of σ = 4 is transformed into a standardized distribution with μ=100 and σ= 20. Find the new, standardized score for each of the following values from the original population. 1.Original X= 39. Transformed X=? 2.Original X=36 . Transformed X=? 3.Original X=45.

For the following situation, find the mean and standard deviation of the population. List all samples (with replacement) of the given size from that population and find the mean of each. Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution and compare them with the mean and standard deviation of the population. The scores of three students in a study group on a test are 94, 93, 97. Use a sample size of 3. The mean of the population is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) C

The circumference of a particular species of tree was thought to be different depending on certain geographical factors. An SRS of 60 trees is selected in Sequoyah National Forest, where it is found that = 6 meters with a standard deviation = 3 meters. A second SRS of size 40 is independently selected in Yellowstone National Forest, and it is found that = 4 meters with a standard deviation = 2 meters. Let μ1 and μ2 represent, respectively, the true mean circumferences of this particular species of tree. Assume the standard deviations of the two populations are equal. A 95% confidence interval for μ1 – μ2 is
