Let x denote the time (in minutes) that it takes a fifth-grade student to read a certain passage. Suppose that the mean value and standard deviation of x are μ = 2 minutes and 0.7 minutes, respectively.

The centers of the distributions of the sample mean are ---Select--- V , and the standard deviations (and therefore spreads) of these distributions are ---Select--- (c) Which of the sample sizes in part (b) would be most likely to result in an x value close to μ, and why? A sample size of n-Select-- is most likely to result in a sample mean close to μ, since this is the sample size that results in the ---Select--- of the distribution of x.

Maria wants to know if the number of words on a page in her earth science book is generally more than the number of words on a page in her math book. She takes a random sample of 25 pages in each book, then calculates the mean, median, and mean absolute deviation for the 25 samples of each book. Mean Median Mean Absolute Deviation Earth science| 48.9 41 9.2 Math 34.5 44 1.9 She claims that because the mean number of words on each page in the earth science book is greater than the mean number of words on each page in the math book, the earth science book has more words per page. Based on the data, is this a valid inference? O Yes, because the mean is larger in the earth science book. O No, because the mean is larger in the earth science book. O Yes, because there is a lot of variability in the earth science book data. O No, because there is a lot of variability in the earth science book data.
The height of women ages 20-29 is normally distributed, with a mean of 63.8 inches. Assume o = 2.8 inches. Are you more likely to randomly select 1 woman with a height less than 65.2 inches or are you more likely to select a sample of 23 women with a mean height less than 65.2 inches? Explain.
