Imagine a distribution of sample means for samples of n = 35 selected from a population with a mean of μ = 40 and a standard deviation of σ = 12. In the box below, report three things for this distribution of sample means: its shape, its expected value, and its standard error. (Any of your three answers that are rounded numbers should be rounded to two decimal places.)

See pictures for question D and E and (A, B and Cand was submitted on a different question. According to a report done by S & J Power, the mean lifetime of the light bulbs it manufactures is 44 months. A researcher for a consumer advocate group tests this by selecting 16 bulbs at random. For the bulbs in the sample, the mean lifetime is 47 months. It is known that the population standard deviation of the lifetimes is 5 months. Assume that the population is normally distributed. Can we conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the population mean lifetime, μ, of light bulbs made by this manufacturer differs from 44 months? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places, and round your responses as specified below.

A variable of two populations has a mean of 30 and a standard deviation of 18 for one of the populations and a mean of 30 and a standard deviation of 32 for the other population. Complete parts (a) through (c). a. For independent samples of size 9 and 16, respectively, find the mean and standard deviation of X₁ -X₂. (Assume that the sampling is done with replacement or that the population is large enough.) The mean of X₁ -X₂ is. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)

Must the variable under consideration be normally distributed on each of the two populations for you to answer part (a)? Choose the correct answer below. OA. No, the variable does not need to be normally distributed for the formulas for the mean and standard deviation of x₁-x₂ to hold as long as the sample sizes are large enough, as long as the sampling is done with replacement. B. No, the formulas for the mean and standard deviation of…

Use the data in the Excel workbook, on the worksheet labeled "Sample," for this question. The first column is just an observation index labeled i to name each observation. The observations are a simple random sample with replacement from a much larger population. The second column contains specific values y of a random variable Y found in some sampled population. The population standard deviation is not known to you, but it is known that Y has a Normal distribution in the sampled population. Compute the lower bound of an 85% confidence interval for the population mean of the random variable Y. i y 1 37 2 40 3 31 4 27 5 23 6 33 7 29 8 26 9 39 10 28 11 34 12 39 13 31 14 34 15 39 16 33 17 31 18 42
