For men heights are normally distributed with a mean of 69 inches and a standard deviation of 2.8 inches. If samples of 25 men are selected at random from the population, would the average height found for each sample be more or less varied than the individual measurements taken for each man?B
Suppose that for the past several decades, daily precipitation in Seattle, Washington has had a mean of 2.4 mm and a standard deviation of 11.4 mm. Researchers suspect that in recent years, the mean amount of daily precipitation has changed, so they plan to obtain data for a random sample of 195 days over the past five years and use this data to conduct a one-sample ?z‑test of ?0:?=2.4H0:μ=2.4 mm against ?1:?≠2.4H1:μ≠2.4 mm, where ?μ is the mean daily precipitation for the last five years. Although they realize that rainfall does not follow a normal distribution, they feel safe using a ?z‑test because the sample size is large. The researchers want to know what the power of this test is to reject the null hypothesis at significance level ?=0.05α=0.05 if the actual mean daily precipitation is 2.6 mm or more. Computing power by hand requires two steps. The first step is to use a significance level of 0.05 to determine the values of the sample mean for which they will reject their null…
From a sample with n=36, the mean duration of a geyser's eruptions is 3.06 minutes and the standard deviation is 0.85 minutes. Using Chebychev's Theorem, determine at least how many of the eruptions lasted between 1.36 and 4.76 minutes. At least of the eruptions lasted between 1.36 and 4.76 minutes. (Simplify your answer.)
A sample of 20 bags of mulch had a mean weight of 52 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.8 pounds. Find the 95% confidence interval of the true mean. Show all your work for or explain how you obtained your answer in the space provided below.
A sample data set, n = 115, shows human body temperatures with a mean of 99.6ºF. If the standard deviation σ is known to be 0.75ºF. Find the 99% confidence interval for μ.
The distribution of study times for first-year students follow a Normal distribution with a standard deviation σ = 48 minutes. Suppose a sample of 344 students found that the mean study time for these students was x¯= 170 minutes per week. Use this to find a 94.38% confidence interval to estimate the mean study time for all students. We are 94.38% confident that the mean study time for first-year students is between the following ( answer) minutes and ( answer) minutes. The answer needs to be the mean study time for first-year students is between what amount of minutes and the following minutes.
An farmer is convinced that the weighing instrument for palay had a variability measured by standard deviation equal to 2. He recorded the measurements 4.1, 6.5, 5.2 and 10.2. Do these data confirm or disprove his assertion? Use a 95% confidence level.
A researcher is interested in finding a 95% confidence interval for the mean number minutes students are concentrating on their professor during a one hour statistics lecture. The study included 133 students who averaged 36.1 minutes concentrating on their professor during the hour lecture. The standard deviation was 13.4 minutes. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible. b. With 95% confidence the population mean minutes of concentration is between and minutes. c. If many groups of 133 randomly selected members are studied, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean minutes of concentration and about percent will not contain the true population mean minutes of concentration.
