Example 2:A study was conducted that found the average number of followers for a Twitter account was 707. Assume this data was normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 82. Suppose you took a random sample of 25 Twitter accounts and recorded the number of followers for each account. Use this information to answer the following questions. It can be very useful to draw a quick sketch of what the problem is asking for. a) Find the z-score that would correspond to an average of 707 Twitter followers based on the random sample of 25 accounts. b) What is the probability that the average number of followers for those 25 accounts would be greater than 800? What is the probability that the average number of followers for those 25 accounts would be between 680 and 710?

A sample of 134 motels is selected from a large urban area and the price for a night of lodging for a single room was determined for each motel. The mean rate is computed to be $87 and the standard deviation is $14. One motel charged $57 per night which is the 13th percentile. Another motel charged $118 per night which is the 75th percentile. Step 2 of 4 : One of the motels was 0.9 standard deviations above the mean, what is the price of a single room at the motel? Round your answer to two decimal places.

In Australia, young people aged 18 to 29 have an average of 394 Facebook friends. This population distribution takes only integer values, so it is certainly not Normal. It is also highly skewed to the right. Suppose that = 280 and you take an SRS of 70 Facebook users from this population. Findings from "Yellow social media report 2018. Part one: -Consumers, published by Yellow and available at www.yellow.com.au/wp- content/uploads/2018/06/Yellow-Social-Media-Report-2018- Consumer.pdf.

A community college Math instructor feels that the average age of community college students decreased since they started teaching 25 years ago. Looking up data from the year the instructor started teaching, the mean age of community college students was 24.3 years old, with a population standard deviation of 2.2 years. The Math instructor took a sample of 40 of their current community college students and found that the sample had a mean age of 23.7 years old. Assume the population of ages of community college students is normally distributed and that the population standard deviation has remained the same. Test at the 5% significance level if the mean age of community college students is now less than 24.3 years old. Choose the correct answer from the parenthesis.

You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. Data were collected on the top 1,000 financial advisers. Company A had 239 people on the list and another company, Company B, had 121 people on the list. A sample of 16 of the advisers from Company A and 10 of the advisers from Company B showed that the advisers managed many very large accounts with a large variance in the total amount of funds managed. The standard deviation of the amount managed by advisers from Company A was s₁ = $583 million. The standard deviation of the amount managed by advisers from Company B was s₂ = $484 million. Conduct a hypothesis test at a = 0.10 to determine if there is a significant difference in the population variances for the amounts managed by the two companies. What is your conclusion about the variability in the amount of funds managed by advisers from the two firms? State the null and alternative hypotheses. 2 2 H₂:0 2 Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer…
