Еxample 3 It is known that the average daily hospital room charge in the US is $687. A random sample of 12 bills at a particular US hospital revealed that the sample mean and standard deviation were $722 and $57.87 respectively. Assuming that the room charges at the hospital follow a distribution that is approximately normal, use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the hospital is overcharging.

It is known that incomes from the USA follow a normal distribution with a mean of $55,000 and a standard deviation of $12,000. A researcher took a sample of 100 people in the USA and obtained a sample mean of $67,000 with a standard deviation of $18,000. What are the characteristics of the sampling distribution. A. Mean = $55,000 and Standard Deviation of the Mean = $1200 B. Mean = $55,000 and Standard Deviation of the Mean = $12000 C. Mean = $67,000 and Standard Deviation of the Mean = $569.21 D. Mean = $67,000 and Standard Deviation of the Mean = $1800
According to a study, brain weights of Swedish men are normally distributed with a mean of 1.4 kg and a standard deviation of 0.12 kg. a.What is the brain weight of a Swedish man who whose brain weighs two standard deviations above average? b.What proportion of brains weigh less than 1.1 kg among Swedish men? c.What is the 90th percentile for brain weight among Swedish men?
Moonlight Beauty sells bottles of facial oil that have a mean volume of 30.00 ml and a standard deviation of 0.25 ml. Bottles filled above 30.25 ml and bottles filled below 29.50 ml are considered overfilled and underfilled, respectively. If the oil levels in the bottles are approximately normal, what proportion of the bottles are either underfilled or overfilled? Underfilled: Overfilled: 0 % 0 %
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the mean life expectancy in 2015 for non‑Hispanic white males was 76.3 years. Assume that the standard deviation was 15 years, as suggested by the Bureau of Economic Research.The distribution of age at death, ????, is not normal because it is skewed to the left. Nevertheless, the distribution of the mean, x⎯⎯⎯, in all possible samples of size ???? is approximately normal if ???? is large enough, by the central limit theorem.Let x⎯⎯⎯ be the mean life expectancy in a sample of 100 non‑Hispanic white males. Determine the interval centered at the population mean ???? such that 95% of sample means x⎯⎯⎯ will fall in the interval. Give your answers precise to one decimal.

Suppose we know that the aspirin content of aspirin tablets follows a Normal distribution with standard deviation of o= 5 mg.
Personnel tests are designed to test a job applicant's cognitive and/or physical abilities. A particular dexterity test is administered nationwide by a private testing service. It is known that for all tests administered last year, the distribution of scores was approximately normal with mean 72 and standard deviation 8.5. a. A particular employer requires job candidates to score at least 76 on the dexterity test. Approximately what percentage of the test scores during the past year exceeded 76? b. The testing service reported to a particular employer that one of its job candidate's scores fell at the 98th percentile of the distribution (i.e., approximately 98% of the scores were lower than the candidate's, and only 2% were higher). What was the candidate's score? a.
Last year, the average amount that teams for the Statistics Games raised was $375. Have teams been more successful at fundraising this year? To find out, you take a random sample of 36 teams. Your sample of 36 teams yields a mean of $396 and a standard deviation of $70. Might you have made a Type 1 or Type 2 error? A Type 1. This means that we said that the mean amount raised had increased, when it was actually still $375. B You might have made a calculation error. C Neither- we're sure the average has increased. D Type 2. This would mean that we said there was not enough evidence to say the mean had increased from $375, when it actually is higher than $375. E Either kind is possible!
