Make a decision about the given claim. Use only the rare event rule, and make subjective estimates to determine whether events are likely. For example, if the claim is that a coin favors heads and sample results consist of 11 heads in 20 flips, conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the coin favors heads (because it is easy to get 11 heads in 20 flips by chance with a fair coin).

Make a decision about the given claim. Use only the rare event rule, and make subjective estimates to determine whether events are likely. For example, if the
claim is that a coin favors headss and sample results consist of 11 heads in 20 flips, conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the
coin favors hes (because it is easy to get 11 heads in 20 flips by chance with a fair coin).
Claim: The mean age of students in a large statistics class is less than 32. A simple random sample of the students has a mean age of 18.5
O A. The sample is unusual if the claim is true. The sample is not unusual if the claim is false. Therefore, there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim
B. The sample is not unusual if the claim is true. The sample is unusual if the claim is false. Therefore, there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim
O c. The sample is not unusual if the claim is true. The sample is unusual if the claim is false. Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to support the claim.
O D. The sample is unusual if the claim is true. The sample is not unusual if the claim is false. Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to support the claim.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
