Practice question #6 Consider two samples of data. For each sample, we have the normal probability plots graphed below (where the sample values are the y-values and theoretical normal scores are the x-values). Which of the two samples are more likely to be from a population with a normal distribution? Explain why.

The amount people pay for electric service varies quite a bit, but the mean monthly fee is $168 and the standard deviation is $34. The distribution is not Normal. Many people pay about $90 in rural areas of the country and about $150 in urban areas of the country, but some pay much more. A sample survey is designed to ask a simple random sample of 1,200 people how much they pay for electric services. Let X be the mean amount paid. Part A: What are the mean and standard deviation of the sample distribution of x? Show your work and justify your reasoning. Part B: What is the shape of the sampling distribution of X? Justify your answer. Part C: What is the probability that the average electric service paid by the sample of electric service customers will exceed $170? Show your work.
Rick took a test that is known to produce normally distributed grades with a mean of 72 and a SD of 10. If Rick know that the portion of scores below his was 0.4443, what was his score on the test? Two decimal places.
You are the product manager for Carl's ice cream. The company president asked you to determine if Carl's ice cream has equal sales as Ole ice cream, which is a strong competitor. The table below contains weekly sales for competing brands for randomly selected 4 approximately equal size stores that did not follow a normal distribution. (Use two digits after deimal point) Carl's Sales Ole Sales 1500 2000 1700 2500 1800 2500 1700 2300 Is there a difference between mean sales at a=5%? a. Ho Hi: Since test statistic = + than critical value = . we * and Therefore mean sales are b. Can it be concluded at 5% significance level that the population median sales for Carl's ice cream exceeds 1600? Ho H: test statistic = Since a=0.05 is * than the p-value = There is * evidence to conclude that median sales for Carl's ice cream is * 1600.

Nicole has a popular blog about cooking and nutrition and regularly posts articles and videos. She has collected data about the length of time that viewers spent watching two of her recent videos. For each video, she recorded the amount of time (in minutes) that each of 102 viewers spent watching it. The histograms below show the distributions of the two data sets. Each histogram shows time (in minutes) on the horizontal axis and the number of viewers on the vertical axis. The means and standard deviations for the data sets are also given. Video 1 Video 2 25- 25- 20- 20- 15- 15- 10- 10- 5- 5- 0- 19.5 24.5 29.5 34.5 39.5 44.5 49.5 54.5 59.5 64.5 69.5 19.5 24.5 29.5 34.5 39.5 44.5 49.5 54.5 59.5 64.5 69.5 Video 1 mean: 52.05 minutes Video 2 mean: 44.25 minutes Video 1 standard deviation: 12.54 minutes Video 2 standard deviation: 8.16 minutes Nicole wants to use the Empirical Rule to make some approximations about both data sets. Unfortunately, it is appropriate to use the Empirical Rule…

Here is an example from John and Jenn. When we return exams in our classes, we find it beneficial to share with students information on the distribution of scores. We provide this information so that students will have an idea of how they scored on the exam in comparison to their peers. However, deciding which descriptive information to provide to the class is not always an easy decision. These are modified grades from one of Jenn’s statistics classes. For this data set, the mean is 77, the mode is 92, and the median is 86. If you were the professor of the class, do you think sharing the mean scores on the exam with the class is a representative score of the data set? Why or why not? 9 or 11. The researchers predicted that the more a mother weighed during pregnancy, the higher the fat mass would be in the child. Such findings would support the developmental over nutrition hypothesis, which states that overeating during key developmental times has an influence on the offspring. The…
