Approximately 8% of males experience red-green color blindness. Suppose a random sample of 200 men is chosen. a. Assuming the necessary conditions are satisfied, give the mean and standard deviation of the Normal model that would be used to approximate the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of red-green color blindness. b. Sketch and clearly label the sampling distribution, based on the 68-95-99.7 Rule. c. Suppose the 200 person sample had a sample proportion of 10%. What is the probability that the sample proportion would be 10% or higher? Does that proportion seem to be an unusual result or does it meet our expectations? Briefly explain.

A researcher wants to select a sample from a population with a mean (µ)= 60 and administer a treatment to individuals in the sample. He thinks the treatment will help improve scores. a. State the hypotheses for a one-tailed test. b. For a one-tailed test, would the critical region be located in the positive or right-hand tail of the distribution, or in the negative or left-hand tail of the distribution?
4. The time required for all cross-country skiers to complete a race has a normal distribution with a mean of 46 minutes and a standard deviation of 6 minutes. You choose a random sample of six skiers, and the mean of the sample is denoted i. What are the mean and standard deviation of ?
Recent studies have shown that about 16% of American adults fit the medical definition of being obese. A large medical clinic would like to estimate what percentage of their patients are obese, so they take a random sample of 400 patients and find that 52 are obese. Suppose that in truth, the same percentage holds for the patients of the medical clinic as for the general population, 16%. Find the mean of the sampling distribution of p̂.
Suppose a professor uses a normal distribution to assign grades in her math class. • She assigns an A to students scoring more than 1.9 standard deviations above the mean. • She assigns an F to students scoring more than 2.2 standard deviations below the mean. She assigns a B to students who Score between 1 and 1.9 standard deviations above the mean. • She assigns a D to students who Score between 1.2 and 2.2 standard deviations below the mean. • All other students get a C. Use the Cumulative Z-Score Table to answer the following questions. The Z-Score Table can be found below by selecting "Read". Write your answer as a percent using 2 decimal places. What percent of the class receives each grade assuming the scores are normally distributed? Hint % will recieve an A % will recieve a B % will recieve a C % will recieve a D % will recieve an F
A recent Gallup Poll interviewed a random sample of 1523 adults. Of these, 868 bought a lottery tickets in the past year. Suppose that in fact (unknown to Gallup) exactly 60% of all adults bought a lottery ticket in the past year. If Gallup took many simple random samples of 1,523 people, the sample proportion who bought a ticket would vary from sample to sample. The sampling distribution would be close to normal with a mean of 0.6 and a standard deviation of___ A)0.4899 B)0.0251 C)0.00016 D)0.0126
In a poll conducted by the General Social Survey, 81% of respondents said that their jobs were sometimes or always stressful. Suppose a sample of 500 adults is takes and the proportion that say their jobs were sometimes or always stressful is recorded. Assuming np(1-p) > 10, what is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion for this problem?
. Each member of a large genetics class grows 12 pea plants from an independent pea family. Each family is expected to have 3/4 plants with smooth peas and 1/4 plants with wrinkled peas. a. On average, how many wrinkled pea plants will a student see in her 12 plants? b. What is the standard deviation of the proportion of wrinkled pea plants per student? c. What is the variance of the proportion of wrinkled pea plants per student? d. Predict what proportion of the students saw exactly two wrinkled pea plants in their sample.

4. You ask an SRS of 1500 college students whether they applied for admission to any other college. Suppose that in fact 35% of all college students applied to colleges besides the one they are attending. The sampling distribution of the proportion of B your sample who say "Yes" is approximately Normal with mean 0.35 and standard deviation 0.01. Sketch this Normal curve and use it to answer the following questions. (You can use the 68-95-99.7 rule for all these questions.) Round to nearest whole percent. (a) What percentage of many samples would have a larger than 0.37? 2.5 (b) What is the probability that your sample will have a less than 0.33?Å (c) what is the probability that your sample result will be either less than 0.33 or greater than 0.35?
