Each of the following statements contains an error. Describe the error and then correct the statement. (9p) a. For a symmetric distribution, the mean will be smaller than the median. b. When taking SRSs from a large population, larger sample sizes will result in larger standard deviations of x. c. The central limit theorem states that for large n, the shape of the sampling distribution is approximately the shape of the population distribution.

True/false Questions: Decide whether the following statements are true or false. (3p) a. A normal distribution will usually have outliers. b. A z-score represents the number of standard deviations above or below the mean. c. The mean of the sampling distribution of the means is equal to the mean of the population from which the values were sampled.
Consider a population proportion p = 0.20. a. What are the expected value and the standard error for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion with n = 20 and n = 58? Note: Round the standard error to 4 decimal places. Answer is complete and correct. n Expected value Standard error 20 58 0.20 0.20 0.0894 0.0525 b. Can you conclude that the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is approximately normally distributed for both sample sizes? Yes, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is normally distributed for both sample sizes. No, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is not normally distributed for either sample size. No, only the sample proportion with n = 20 will have a normal distribution. No, only the sample proportion with n = 58 will have a normal distribution. c. If the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is normally distributed with n = 20, then calculate the probability that the sample proportion is between 0.18 and 0.20.…
Suppose that you are given a decision situation with three possible states of nature: s1, s2, and s3. The prior probabilities are P(s1) = 0.2, P(s2) = 0.5, and P(s3) = 0.3. With sample information I, P(I|s1) = 0.1, P(I|s2) = 0.05, and P(I|s3) = 0.2. Compute the revised (or posterior) probabilities: P(s1|I), P(s2|I), and P(s3|I).

K Conduct a test at the α = 0.05 level of significance by determining (a) the null and alternative hypotheses, (b) the test statistic, and (c) the P-value. Assume the samples were obtained independently from a large population using simple random sampling. Test whether p₁> P2. The sample data are x₁ = 116, n₁ = 244, x2 = 132, and n₂ = 313. (a) Choose the correct null and alternative hypotheses below. OA. Ho P1 P2 versus H₁: P1 P2 OB. Ho P₁ P2 versus H₁: P₁ P2 OD. Ho p₁ =0 versus H₁:.p₁ #0 (b) Determine the test statistic. Zo= (Round to two decimal places as needed.) (c) Determine the P-value. The P-value is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) What is the result of this hypothesis test? OA. Do not reject the null hypothesis because there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that p₁ #p2- OB. Do not reject the null hypothesis because there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that p₁ P2- OD. Reject the null hypothesis because there is sufficient evidence to conclude that p₁…
