Use the central limit theorem to find the mean and standard error of the mean of the indicated sampling distribution. Then sketch a graph of the sampling distribution. The per capita consumption of red meat by people in a country in a recent year was normally distributed, with a mean of 120 pounds and a standard deviation of 39.9 pounds. Random samples of size 18 are drawn from this population and the mean of each sample is determined. H = o: = (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Sketch a graph of the sampling distribution.

Fill in the blanks to complete the following statements. (a) For the shape of the distribution of the sample proportion to be approximately normal, it is required that np(1 -p) 2 (D) Suppose the proportion of a population that has a certain characteristic is 0.3. The mean of the sampling distribution of p from this population is u. = (a) For the shape of the distribution of the sample proportion to be approximately normal, it is required that np(1 - p) 2 (Type an integer or a decimal.)
(g) The following question was investigated: If the standard deviation of the mean for the sampling distribution of random samples of size 64 from a large or infinite population is 5, how large must the sample size become if the standard deviation is to be reduced to 0.9. In solving this question, it was determined that n = 1975.308642. Since we cannot talk to a partial person, how many people do we need to sample? (h) Suppose you collect data and want to find P(X < some number) by using the t-distribution. What do we need to assume about the population to make sure we can use the t-distribution? (i) Suppose we want to solve the following: • Find k such that P(x2 < k) = 0.025 where df = 8. Find P(x? < 4.182) where df = 6. What R function would you use in each case to solve these questions? You do not need to actually solve, just write down the R function. An example of an R function is dbinom (this is not the one that you need).

1 (a) Discuss the two expressions -x;- )² and E(x;- )², both of which are used (n-1) i=1 to measure the spread of a set of observations x1, x2, . .., X. (b) A random sample of n observations is taken from a distribution; the sum of the observations is t, and the sum of the squares of the observations is 12. Explain how to estimate the mean and the variance of the distribution from which the random sample was taken. (c) Given the random sample described in part (b), write down expressions (based on 11 and t2) for estimates of the mean and variance of the mean of a further, independent, random sample of size m , from the original distribution. (d) Given that n = 25, 1, = 400 and t2 = 8800, construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean of the distribution, and use it to test whether or not this mean could be 20.
The Central Limit Theorem says that the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample means is (A exactly equal to the standard deviation. (B close to the population mean if the sample size is small close to the population standard deviation if the sample size is large. equal to the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample D size.

Earl hates to take out the garbage and to wash the dishes, so he decided to make a deal with his parents: He will flip a coin once for each chore and will perform the chore if the coin lands on heads. What he doesn't know is that his parents are going to use a weighted coin that lands on heads 80% of the time! slimizs a. What is the probability that Earl will have to do both chores? What is the probability that Earl will have to take out the garbage, but will not need to wash the dishes? b.
