Nurses wondered if birth weights of babies are going up. They knew that the average birth weight of a baby last year was 7.6 pounds. A random sample of 15 weights of babies at the hospital where the nurses work gave an average birth weight of 7.9 pounds. Nurses felt that the birth weights this year were normally distributed. Which of the following is true about the distribution of sample means? Choose the correct answer below. O A. Even though the sample size is less than 30, the distribution of sample means will be normal because the population data follow a normal distribution. O B. The distribution of sample means will be normal regardless of the shape of the data in the population. OC. Since the sample size is less than 30, the population data cannot be normally distributed. Therefore, the distribution of sample means will not be normally distributed. O D. The distribution of sample means will not be normal even though the population data followed a normal distribution because the sample size is less than 30.

Researchers wanted to know if living in schools protects minnows from predators. The researchers placed different numbers of minnows into separate aquaria. Then, the researchers counted how many times per minute predatory fish approached the schools. Calculate the sample means, ?¯,x¯, and sample standard deviations, ?,s, for the number of times per minute a predator approached each school size. Round ?¯x¯ to one decimal place. Round ?s to two decimal places. Minnow school size Trial 3 5 10 15 20 1 0.9 0.7 0.4 0.4 0.1 2 0.8 0.8 0.5 0.5 0.1 3 0.7 0.9 0.6 0.3 0.2 4 1.1 0.6 0.8 0.2 0.3 5 1.0 1.0 0.7 0.6 0.3
In a sample of 500 parts produced by a grinding machine, 396 parts were defective.

The average final exam score for the statistics course is 81%. A professor wants to see if the average final exam score for students who are given colored pens on the first day of class is higher. The final exam scores for the 16 randomly selected students who were given the colored pens are shown below. Assume that the distribution of the population is normal. 81, 81, 96, 78, 92, 94, 87, 92, 75, 87, 69, 98, 68, 95, 98, 92 What can be concluded at the the a = 0.05 level of significance level of significance? a.

Suppose you are interested in knowing the proportion of Texas A&M students who have their own subscription to Netflix. Everyone in a class of 77 students takes a random sample of 100 Texas A&M students and asks them if they have their own Netflix subscription. Each person calculates the proportion of their sample with a subscription and we make a histogram of the 77 proportions. What kind of distribution would be displayed in that histogram? a. Population Distribution b. Sampling Distribution c. Data Distribution d. Parent Distribution e. More than one of the above
In the 1992 presidential election, Alaska's 40 election districts averaged 2002 votes per district for President Clinton. The standard deviation was 589. (There are only 40 election districts in Alaska.) The distribution of the votes per district for President Clinton was bell-shaped. Let X = number of votes for President Clinton for an election district. (Source: The World Almanac and Book of Facts) Round all answers except part e. to 4 decimal places. a. What is the distribution of X? X N b. Is 2002 a population mean or a sample mean? Select an answer ✓ c. Find the probability that a randomly selected district had fewer than 2058 votes for President Clinton. d. Find the probability that a randomly selected district had between 1998 and 2225 votes for President Clinton. e. Find the third quartile for votes for President Clinton.

In a study conducted to examine the quality of fish after 7 days in ice storage, ten raw fish of the same kind and approximately the same size were caught and prepared for ice storage. The fish were placed in ice storage at different times after being caught. A measure of fish quality was given to each fish after 7 days in ice storage. The sample data are shown below, where "Time" is the number of hours after being caught that the fish was placed in ice storage and "Fish Quality" is the measure given to each fish after 7 days in ice storage (higher numbers mean better quality). Which variable would be considered the response variable? Fish Time: 0 0 2 3 5 6 7 9 11 12 Fish Quality 8.5 8.4 8.0 8.1 7.8 7.6 7.3 7.0 6.8 6.7 Choose the correct answer below. A.Fish Quality B.Time C.Neither variable could be considered a response variable.

An Excel assignment counts for 0-10 points. The scores in a class of 12 students are recorded as follows:1 5 5 6 7 7 8 8 8 9 10 10 What is the deviation of the score 10 from the mean in 13a (recall that this involves a subtraction of the mean from the particular score)? I think I got answer but want to check.
