In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. Suppose that at five weather stations on Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, the peak wind gusts (in miles per hour) for January and April are recorded below.

Alex wants to find out: if the standard deviation of the mean for the sampling distribution of random samples of size 256 from a large or infinite population is 9, how large must the sample size become if the standard deviation is to be reduced to 2.7 (or even smaller)?

Two normal distributions are compared. One has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 10. The second normal distribution has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 2. Which of the following is true? The dispersions of the distributions are different. The dispersions of the distributions are the same. The distributions are from two different families of distributions. The locations of the distributions are different.
Recent studies have shown that about 16% of American adults fit the medical definition of being obese. A large medical clinic would like to estimate what percentage of their patients are obese, so they take a random sample of 400 patients and find that 52 are obese. Suppose that in truth, the same percentage holds for the patients of the medical clinic as for the general population, 16%. Find the mean of the sampling distribution of p̂.

The annual salary for one particular occupation is normally distributed, with a mean of about $132,000 and a standard deviation of about $16,000. Random samples of 26 are drawn from this population, and the mean of each sample is determined. Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of these sample means. Then, sketch a graph of the sampling distribution.
As the sample size increases, the mean of the sampling distribution ▼ stays the same. gets larger. gets smaller.
In a population of a certain species of newt, the mean length of the newts is μ= 63 inches and the standard deviation is σ= 3.4 inches. You collect a random sample of n=16 newts. The bell curve below represents the distribution of these sample means. The scale on the horizontal axis is the standard error of the sampling distribution. Complete the indicated boxes, correct to two decimal places. mean of distribution= standard error= Note: The left box is 2 standard errors below the mean. The middle box is the mean. The right box is 2 standard errors above the mean.
