Suppose that X~N(5000,400). You're considering taking a simple random sample and calculating the average of your sample. The Central Limit Theorem tells us that the distribution of all possible sample averages is Normally distributed with a mean of 5000. If you took a sample of size n = 400, what is the standard deviation of that sample?

The population of college students using “normal shoes” is able to complete a particular racecourse in an average of 250 seconds. The standard deviation for this population is 20 seconds and the population is normally distributed. A random sample of 28 college students is given a special pair of new shoes and asked to run the course. The average “race time” for this group is 243 seconds. assume now that the designer of the shoes states that his shoes should improve the times of the user (less time to finish the race). State the hypotheses involved. determine if the hypothesis test is one tailed or two tailed Give the Z scores associated with cut-off points for .01, .05, and .10 (1%, 5%, and 10% respectively). Calculate the Z score for this problem. Based on a cut-off point or alpha level of .05 (5%), what decision would you make about your hypotheses? Explain this decision. Make conclusions regarding the specifics of this study.
