Question

Medical School Applications A medical college dean read that the average number of applications a potential medical school student sends is 7.5. She thinks that the mean is lower. So she selects a random sample of 29 applicants and asks each how many medical schools they applied to. The mean of the sample is 6.9. The population standard deviation is 2.4. Test her claim at a =0.10. Assume that the variable is normally distributed. Use the P-value method with a graphing calculator. find the p value!

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
