A test was made of Ho: u, = H, versus H,: µ, < µ,. The sample means were x, = 7 and 14, the sample standard deviations were s 5 and s, = 6, and the sample sizes 14 and n, 19. were n
The heights of 5-year-old children are approximately normally distributed with average height of 100cm and standard deviation of 6cm. Using the emipiracal rule i am trying to figure out What percentage of 5-year-olds are between 90cm and 120cm?
Listed below are systolic blood pressure measurements (mm Hg) taken from the right and left arms of the same woman. Assume that the paired sample data is a simple random sample and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Use a 0.10significance level to test for a difference between the measurements from the two arms. What can be concluded? Right arm 146 137 140 132 132 Left-arm 183 172 179 156 149 In this example, μd is the mean value of the differences d for the population of all pairs of data, where each individual difference d is defined as the measurement from the right arm minus the measurement from the left arm. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test? Identify the test statistic. Identify the P-value.
let x be a ramdom variable with mean= 150 and standard deviation =4.2. Ramdom samples of fixed size n=30 are drawn from the distribution of x. determine the distribution, mean, and standard deviation of sample mean
In the entire population of a certain type of tree, the mean height of the trees is μ = 168.8 ft and the standard deviation is σ = 43.6 ft. You collect a random sample of n=22 trees. The distribution of these sample means is shown below. Each tick mark on the horizontal axis is a distance of one more standard error. Complete the indicated boxes, correct to two decimal places. mean of distribution=168.8 standard error=9.30 Note: The left box is 2 standard errors below the mean. The middle box is the mean. The right box is 2 standard errors above the mean.
The two data sets in the table below are dependent random samples. The population of (x - y) differences is approximately normally distributed.

6.2 The Standard Normal Distribution Table: Z-score and Probability In the country of United States of Heightlandia, the height measurements of ten-year-old children are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 53.7 inches, and standard deviation of 5.1 inches. What is the probability that the height of a randomly chosen child is between 40.95 and 43.35 inches? Probability = (Use 4 decimal places.)
Listed below are systolic blood pressure measurements (mm Hg) taken from the right and left arms of the same woman. Assume that the paired sample data is a simple random sample and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Use a 0.05 significance level to test for a difference between the measurements from the two arms. What can be concluded? Right arm Left arm 150 142 120 131 167 160 179 156 In this example, Hd is the mean value of the differences d for the population of all pairs of data, where each individual difference d is defined as the measurement from the right arm minus the measurement from the left arm. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test? O A. Ho: Hd = 0 H₁: Hd 0 Since the P-value is than the significance level, the null hypothesis. There sufficient evidence to support the claim of a difference in measurements between the two arms.
In a population of a certain species of newt, the mean length of the newts is μ= 63 inches and the standard deviation is σ= 3.4 inches. You collect a random sample of n=16 newts. The bell curve below represents the distribution of these sample means. The scale on the horizontal axis is the standard error of the sampling distribution. Complete the indicated boxes, correct to two decimal places. mean of distribution= standard error= Note: The left box is 2 standard errors below the mean. The middle box is the mean. The right box is 2 standard errors above the mean.
