Find the mean and standard error of the mean of the sampling distribution. Then sketch a graph of the sampling distribution. The prices of photo printers on a website are normally distributed with a mean of $238 and a standard deviation of $67. Random samples of size 33 are drawn from this population and the mean of each sample is determined.
Karl Pearson developed a measure that describes the skewness of a distribution, called the coefficient of skewness. The formula is Skewness = 3 (mean-median)/standard deviation. The value of this measure generally lies between -3 and +3. The closer the value lies to -3, the more the distribution is skewed left. The closer the value lies to +3, the more the distribution is skewed right. A value close to 0 indicates a symmetric distribution. Find the coefficient of skewness of the following distributions and comment on the skewness. Compute the coefficient of skewness for the data in Problem 25 Problem 25 data: The following data (see photo) represent the weights (in grams) of random sample of 50 M&M plain candies.
A population has a mean of 90 and a standard deviation of 10. A sample of 100 observations will be taken. The probability that the mean from that sample will be less than 92 is

An economist wants to estimate the mean per capita income (in thousands of dollars) for a major city in Texas. He believes that the mean income is $20.7, and the variance is known to be $40.96. How large of a sample would be required in order to estimate the mean per capita income at the 95% level of confidence with an error of at most $0.46? Round your answer up to the next integer.
For a random sample of 10 men, the mean head circumferences are x-bar = 57.3 cm, and the sample standard deviation is s = 2cm. what is the standard error of the mean?

If we meet these conditions, the sampling distribution of the mean will have a normal shape and ... The mean of the sampling distribution will be u, (i.e., the same as the population mean) and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution will be (that's the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size). In the AP Stats Guy video, he talks about the number of text messages his students send during class. Suppose the average number of text messages his students send during class is u = 30 text messages. If we take samples of say, n = 36 students at a time, we would expect the mean of the sampling distribution we create to be the same as the population mean, 30 text messages. If we can further say that standard deviation of the number of text messages is 12 text messages, by how much would we expect the sample means to vary? (hint, use the formula above) text messages
Executives at a car dealership want to estimate the average age of their customers before making a television commercial. They want to be 90% confident that the mean age is ±2 years of the sample mean. If the standard deviation from a previous study is 12 years, how large should the sample be? 98 ODD 239 4 139
