For a sample of 42 rabbits, the mean weight is 5 pounds and the standard deviation of weights is 3 pounds. Which of the following is most likely true about the weights for the rabbits in this sample? (A) The distribution of weights is approximately normal because the sample size is 42, and therefore the central limit theorem applies. (B) The distribution of weights is approximately normal because the standard deviation is less than the mean. (C) The distribution of weights is skewed to the right because the least possible weight is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. (D) The distribution of weights is skewed to the left because the least possible weight is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. (E) The distribution of weights has a median that is greater than the mean.

(Q5). The data on monthly rents, in dollars, for independent random samples of newly completed apartments in three U.S. regions are presented in the table below. Assume that the population standard deviation of the monthly rents in the three regions are equal and the populations are normally distributed. Northeast South _____West 1005 891 1025 898 630 1012 948 861 1090 1181 926 _______________________________ (a). Do the data indicate that there is a difference in the monthly rent for the three regions? Discuss the assumptions you have made to carry out your analysis. Use a significance level of 10%. (b).

The weights of 1,000 men in a certain town follow a normal distribution with a mean of 150 pounds and a standard deviation of 15 pounds. From the data, we can conclude that the number of men weighing more than 165 pounds is about , and the number of men weighing less than 135 pounds is about .
Assume that ﬁnal exam scores in a given course are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 10 points. In a class of 200 students, how many would you expect to fail the exam (i.e., score less than 60) (note: scores can only be approximately normally distributed, because the minimum score is 0, but this should not alter the answer, given how large the mean is relative to the standard deviation).
There are several sections of Statistics; some in the morning and some in the afternoon. We randomly select n1 40 from the morning section and 44 from the afternoon section. The averages n2 of their scores are X1 76.3 for the morning section and X, = 71.9 for the afternoon section. The known standard deviations of their scores are 01 12.05 for the morning section and 02 13.06 for the afternoon section. Test the claim that the average for all students in the morning and afternoon section is the same. Use a a = 0.05 significance level. a. What is the negative critical region? Give your answer to two decimal places. z c. What is the test statistic? Give your answer to two decimal places. z = d. Do we reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?

4. A very large population has a mean of 180 and a standard deviation of 24. One day a sample of 64 observations is taken. On another day a sample of 100 observations is taken. Which of the following is true? The standard error of the mean will be smaller with 64 observations. It is impossible to determine any of the above given the available information. The standard error of the mean will be larger with 64 observations. The standard error of the mean will be the same with either 64 or 100 observations.
1. In a distribution of six scores, the deviations from the mean for five of the scores are +5, +3, +1, 0, and-3.What is the value of the deviation for the sixth score? 2. On the midterm exam in their anthropology course, Jan’s deviation score was +5, Kim’s was -12, andLeslie’s was 0.a) of these three, who did the best and who did the worst?b) the mean for the class was 80. What was the raw score for Jan, Kim, and Leslie?
A standardized exam's scores are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was 1458 and the standard deviation was 312. The test scores of four students selected at random are 1860, 1220, 2150, and 1340. Find the z-scores that correspond to each value and determine whether any of the values are unusual. The z-score for 1860 is (Round to two decimal plaes as needed.)
Q2. Assume we have two populations represent the mercury contamination (g/Km3) in two different European cities. The mean of mercury contamination in the first city is 50 g/Km3 with standard deviation of 1O, and mean of mercury contamination in the second city is 40 g/Km3 with standard deviation of 8 g/Km3. If a sample of n=9 is taken form first city and a sample of n=16 is taken form second city, what is the probability that the difference between these two sample means is less than 9 g/Km3? 0.0614 0.0359 0.3985 0.0992 0.6015
