Hawaiians are known to have an active lifestyle, enjoying the fresh air and natural beauty the islands have to offer. The life expectancy of the US population across all 50 states is µ=78.62 years with a standard deviation σ=16.51 years. A randomly selected sample of 100 Hawaiians show an average life expectancy x̅=82.52 years. Is Hawaiians’ average life expectancy significantly different from 78.62, assuming α=0.01?
Consider a population with a mean of 150 and a standard deviation of s = 27. A random sample of 36 was taken from this population. Then the standard deviation of X-bar is:

For samples of the specified size from the population described, find the mean and standard deviation of the sample meanx. The National Weather Service keeps records of snowfall in mountain ranges. Records indicate that in a certain range, the annual snowfall has a mean of 83 inches and a standard deviation of 14 inches. Suppose the snowfalls are sampled during randomly picked years. For samples of size 49, determine the mean and standard deviation of x A) μ=83; 0x=2 B) μ = 2; σ= 83 Oc C) μ = 83; σ= 14 D) u 14; = 83 =

Researchers at the National Weather Center in Portland, Maine recorded the number of 90° days each year since records were first kept, starting in 1875. The number of 90° days form a normal-shaped distribution, with a mean of μ = 9.6 days and a standard deviation of σ = 1.9. To see if the data showed any evidence of climate change (and specifically global warming), they also computed the mean number of 90° days for the most recent n = 4 years and obtained a mean number of days for the past four years of x̅ = 12.25 days. Using a one-tailed test with α = .05, the researchers completed the calculations, but they need your help in drawing an appropriate conclusion. (According to their calculations, the standard error is sM = 0.95, and the sample mean of x̅ = 12.25 days corresponds to a z-score of z = 2.79.) Using the same one-tailed test (α = .05), determine if the data indicate that the past four years have had significantly more 90° days than would be expected for a random sample from…
The temperature of a solution is estimated by taking n independent readings and averaging them. Each reading is unbiased (for the true temperature of the solution), with a standard deviation of 0.5C= σ . a. If 30 readings are taken,what is the probability that the average is within 0.1C ± of the actual temperature of the solution?
