Suppose that 0.63 of all adults own a car. Random samples of adults are taken and the proportion of each sample that owns a car was found.31.21% of all sample proportions were greater than 0.6937. What is σp^? σp^=
A transect is an archaeological study area that is 1/5 mile wide and 1 mile long. A site in a transect is the location of a significant archaeological find. Let x represent the number of sites per transect. In a section of Chaco Canyon, a large number of transects showed that x has a population variance o^2= 25.1 . In a different section of Chaco Canyon, a random sample of 23 transects gave a sample variance s^2= 53.3 for the number of sites per transect. Use an a=0.05 to test the claim that the variance in the new section is greater than 25.1.Verify that P-value < 0.005, will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis of independence? answer options: Since the P-value is less than the level of significance, we reject the null hypothesis that the variance is equal to 25.1. At 0.05 level of significance, we conclude that the variance is greater than 25.1. Since the P-value is less than the level of significance, we reject the null hypothesis that the variance is greater…
A transect is an archaeological study area that is mile wide and 1 mile long. A site in a transect is the location of a significant archaeological find. Let x represent the number of sites per transect. In a section of Chaco Canyon, a large number of transects showed that x has a population variance σ^2=24.7. In a different section of Chaco Canyon, a random sample of 24 transects gave a sample variance s^2=46.2 for the number of sites per transect. Suppose that we use a=0.01 to test the claim that the variance in the new section is greater than 24.7. Verify that the value of x^2 is 43.02, and find (or estimate) the P-value of the sample test statistic. answer options: 0.025 < P-value < 0.05 P-value < 0.005 0.005 < P-value < 0.01 0.01 < P-value < 0.025 0.05 < P-value < 0.10

The effective life of a component used in a jet-turbine aircraft engine is a random variable with mean5000 hours and standard deviation 40 hours. The distribution of effective life is fairly close to anormal distribution. The engine manufacturer introduces an improvement into the manufacturingprocess for this component that increases the mean life to 5050 hours and decreases the standarddeviation to 30 hours.Suppose that a random sample of n1 =16 components is selected from the “old” process and arandom sample n2 =25 components is selected from the “improved” process.a. What is the probability that the difference in the two sample means x̄1 - x̄2 is at least 25hours?Assume that the old and improved processes can be regarded as independent populations.b. Plot the density curve.
The weights of Pugs (a type of dog) are normally distributed with a mean of 16 pounds and standard deviation of 0.7 pound.

The average age of dogs owned by residents in a small retirement community is 7.5 years with a standard deviation of 1.5 years. A simple random sample of 25 dogs is to be selected so that the sample mean age of these dogs may be computed. Give the value of the mean of the sampling distribution of overline{x}
suppose diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive women centers about a mean of 100 mm Hg with a standard deviation of 14 mm Hg and is normally distributed. If four such woman are randomly selected, find the probabilty that their mean diastolic pressure is greater than 115.
Suppose we want to test the hypothesis that mothers with low socioeconomic status (SES) deliver babies whose birth weights are different from normal. To test this hypothesis, a random sample of 100 birth weights is selected from a list of full-term babies of SES mothers. The mean birth weight is found to be 115 oz. Suppose the average birth weight of all babies (based on nationwide surveys of millions of deliveries) is known to be 120 oz with = 24 oz. Set = .05 Assume all conditions are met, what is the p-value of their test? Give your answer to 4 decimal places.

Let X represent the SAT score of an entering freshman at University X. The random variable X is known to have a N(1170, 80) distribution. Let Y represent the SAT score of an entering freshman at University Y. The random variable Y is known to have a N(1200, 100) distribution. A random sample of 100 freshmen is obtained from each university. Let Xbar= the sample mean of the 100 scores from University X, andY^ = the sample mean of the 100 scores from University Y. First, find the pvalue that Xbar will be less than 1180. Then find the probability (p-value) that Y^ will be greater than 1180. Please show calculations to understand.
