- Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 258 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 123.4 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 175.82 cm and a standard deviation of 7.63 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme? Since the z score for the tallest man isz= and the z score for the shortest man is z = the man had the height that was more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.)A random sample of 50 wheat producers from the Earth Kingdom are selling their product at an average of $3.66 per bushel, with a standard deviation of $0.22. A random sample of 72 wheat producers from the Eureka Empire are selling their product at an average of $3.50 per bushel, with a standard deviation of $0.27. Assuming that the data from the two countries are independent, we want to test the claim that the mean wheat prices are the same for the 2 countries (use a=0.05). Round you answer to 3 decimal places.The salaries of professional baseball players are heavily skewed right with a mean of $3.2 million and a standard deviation of $2 million. The salaries of professional football players are also heavily skewed right with a mean of $1.9 million and a standard deviation of $1.5 million. A random sample of 40 baseball players’ salaries and 35 football players’ salaries is selected. The mean salary is determined for both samples. Let represent the difference in the mean salaries for baseball and football players. Which of the following represents the standard deviation of the sampling distribution for ? A) 0.41 million B) 0.57 million C) 2.5 million D) 3.5 million
- For a social club, the members had a mean age of 68 and a standard deviation of 10 years. What is the z-score for an age of 50?Test scores for an algebra class had a mean of 78 with a standard deviation of 4.1. Test scores for a biology class had a mean of 82 with a standard deviation of 2.6. Suppose a student scores 87 on their algebra test and 85 on their biology test. Using and comparing z-scores, determine which test they performed relatively better on.A researcher wants to investigate the effects of environmental factors on IQ scores. For an initial study, she takes a sample of 400 people who grew up as the only child. She finds that 53% of them have an IQ score over 100 . It is known that 50% of the general population has an IQ score exceeding 100 . Find the mean of p , where p is the proportion of people with IQ scores over 100 in a random sample of 400 people. Find the standard deviation of p . Compute an approximation for P≥p0.53 , which is the probability that there will be 53% or more individuals with IQ scores over 100 in a random sample of 400 . Round your answer to four decimal places.
- Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 263 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 56.6 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 175.64 cm and a standard deviation of 8.78 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme? Since the z score for the tallest man is z = and the z score for the shortest man is z=, the man had the height that was more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.)In a large section of a statistics class, the points for the final exam are normally distributed, with a mean of 72 and a standard deviation of 7. Grades are assigned such that the top 10% receive A's, the next 20% received B's, the middle 40% receive C's, the next 20% receive D's, and the bottom 10% receive F's. Find the lowest score on the final exam that would qualify a student for an A, a B, a C, and a D. The lowest score that would qualify a student for an A is________ (Round up to the nearest integer as needed.) The lowest score that would qualify a student for a B is_______ (Round up to the nearest integer as needed.) The lowest score that would qualify a student for a C is ______ (Round up to the nearest integer as needed.) The lowest score that would qualifty a student for a D is______ ( Round up to the nearesr integer as needed.)A parenting magazine reports that the average amount of wireless data used by teenagers each month is 10 Gb. For her science fair project, Ella sets out to prove the magazine wrong. She claims that the mean among teenagers in her area is less than reported. Ella collects information from a simple random sample of 4 teenagers at her high school, and calculates a mean of 8.4 Gb per month with a standard deviation of 2.2 Gb per month. Assume that the population distribution is approximately normal. Test Ella's claim at the 0.05 level of significance. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. Η :μ H₂H = 10 10
- A professor is concerned that the two sections of college algebra that he teaches are not performing at the same level. To test his claim, he looks at the mean exam score for a random sample of students from each of his classes. In Class 1, the mean exam score for 1717 students is 80.380.3 with a standard deviation of 1.61.6. In Class 2, the mean exam score for 1919 students is 82.182.1 with a standard deviation of 2.92.9. Test the professor’s claim at the 0.010.01 level of significance. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal. Let Class 1 be Population 1 and let Class 2 be Population 2. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below. H0Ha: μ1=μ2: μ1⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯μ2H0: μ1=μ2Ha: μ100000000_μ2 Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic.

Grades are assigned such that the top 10% receive A's, the next 20% received B's, the middle 40% receive C's, the next 20% receive D's, and the bottom 10% receive F's. Find the lowest score on the final exam that would qualify a student for an A, a B, a C, and a D.The U.S. Center for Disease Control reports that the mean life expectancy was 47.6 years for whites born in 1900 and 33.0 years for nonwhites. Suppose that you randomly survey death records for people born in 1900 in a certain county. Of the 124 whites, the mean life span was 45.3 years with a standard deviation of 12.7 years. Of the 82 nonwhites, the mean life span was 34.1 years with a standard deviation of 15.6 years. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance to see if the mean life spans in the county were the same for whites and nonwhites. a) The null and alternative hypothesis would be: O Ho: pw = PN H: pw > PN H:µw 0.05 d) Make a decision. O Fail to reject the null hypothesis O Reject the null hypothesis e) Write the conclusion. O There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that whites and nonwhites have different life spans. O There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that whites and nonwhites have different life spans.
