In a certain college, the mean NCAE score of the students was computed to be equal to 75 with a standard deviation of 7.75. Records showed that 20% of the students with an NCAE rating of 96 and above graduated with honors. However, 30% of the students with an NCAE rating below 65 were dropped from the school due to poor academic performance. In a given year, a total of 2,900 freshmen enrolled in that college. Assuming normality of the data, then on the basis of NCAE score alone, determine the following: a. how many of the new freshmen are expected to graduate with honors? b. how many of the new freshmen are expected to be dropped from the school due to poor academic performance?

Suppose that a certain brand of water filter has a mean life of 600 gallons and a standard deviation of 53 gallons. The histogram indicates that the data follows a bell shaped curve. Assuming the data is bell-shaped what percent of filters will have a life between 494 gallons and 706 gallons?
Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is μ = 19 inches. However, a survey reported that of a random sample of 46 fish caught, the mean length was x = 18.4 inches, with estimated standard deviation s= 3.5 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than = 19 inches? Use α = 0.05. USE SALT (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. O Ho: μ = 19 in; H₁: μ 19 in; H₁: μ = 19 in O Ho: μ 19 in (b) What sampling distribution will you use?

A student earned a 79 on a precalculus exam, and she earned a 92 on a statistics exam. The precalculus exam had a mean score of 72.3 with a standard deviation of 8.4. On the other hand, the statistics exam had a mean score of 87.4 with a standard deviation of 11.4. Determine which exam the student earned a better score on with respect to her peers.

Dr. Shoals predicts that people who walk a mile in moderately high heels will have less back pain than when they walk in very high heels. 27 participants walk in 4-inch heels and then 2.5-inch heels. He calculates the standard deviation of the difference scores and finds sD = 3.37. The mean back pain when walking in 4-inch heels is 6.75, and when walking in 2.5-inch heels, it is 3.25. What is the t statistic for this experiment

Pyramid Lake is on the Paiute Indian Reservation in Nevada. The lake is famous for cutthroat trout. Suppose a friend tells you that the average length of trout caught in Pyramid Lake is μ=20 inches. However, a survey reported that of a simple random sample of 37 fish caught, the mean length was 17.5 inches, with an estimated standard deviation of 4.3 inches. Do these data indicate that the average length of a trout caught in Pyramid Lake is less than μ=20 inches? Use α=0.05. What is the value of the test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)Find the P-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)Based on your results, will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level αα? A) At the α=0.05α=0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
