Assume that females have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of μ=75.0 beats per minute and a standard deviation of σ = 12.5 beats per minute. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. If 1 adult female is randomly selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is less than 82 beats per minute. The probability is 0.7123. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. If 25 adult females are randomly selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean less than 82 beats per minute. The probability is 0.9974. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30? OA. Since the mean pulse rate exceeds 30, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size. OB. Since the original population has a normal distribution, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size. OC. Since the distribution is of…
The following data are given to an economist for the purpose of economic Canalysis. The data refer to the length of a certain type of batteries. N= 100, Σ fd= 50, Σ ide1970, Σids2948 and E fd“ = 86,752, in which d=(X– 48). Do you think that the distribution is platykurtic ? %3D
A nutritionist claims that children 13 to 15 years old are consuming less than the recommended iron intake of 20.5 mg. To test the nutritionist's claim of iron deficiency, a random sample of children 13 to 15 years old will be obtained. Assume that the data for iron intake follows the normal distribution with a standard deviation of 4.75 mg. Find the size of the sample that you should take if you want to estimate the true mean iron intake to within 1 mg with 99% confidence. 62 149 O 150 O 61
