Suppose you want to estimate the mean bowling score for all participants in a large bowling league. The stemplot summarizes the distribution of bowling scores for a random sample of 18 bowlers in the league. 2410 24 668 25 001124 25 55688 26 01 26 5 Key: 26 | 5 = A bowler that scored 265. Is the Normal/Large Sample condition met? Explain. Yes! Although the sample size is small, the graph of the sample data shows no strong skewness or outliers. No, the sample size is small and the graph of the sample data is strongly skewed to the right with at least one high outlier. No, the sample size is small, n = 18 < 30. There is not enough information provided to determine if the Normal/Large Sample condition is met. Yes, the data come from a normally distributed population.
A sports magazine reports that the mean number of hot dogs sold by hot dog vendors at a certain sporting event is equal to 150. A random sample of 50 hot dog vendors was selected, and the mean number of hot dogs sold by the vendors at the sporting event was 140. For samples of size 50, which of the following is true about the sampling distribution of the sample mean number of hot dogs sold by hot dog vendors at the sporting event? For all random samples of 50 sporting events, the sample mean will be 150 hot dogs. A For all random samples of 50 hot dog vendors, the sample mean will be 140 hot dogs. B The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean is 150 hot dogs. C The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean is 140 hot dogs. D All random samples of 50 hot dog vendors will have a sample mean within 10 hot dogs of the population mean. E Chose A, B, C, D, or E
Suppose that 80% of apples are worm-free. Explain why it would not be unusual to find 84% of a simple random sample of 120 apples to be worm-free but it would be unusual to find 84% of a simple random sample of 480 apples to be worm-free. Use facts about the sampling distributions of sample proportions when n = 120 and when n = 480 to support your explanation.
Airlines tend to overbook their flights because they assume a certain percentage of people will be 'no shows' due to change in plans or late connecting flights. A recent study suggested that 86% of people actually show up for their flight on time. A random sample of 222 booked passengers is taken and whether or not they showed up on time is recorded for each of them. The Central Limit Theorem for proportions says that the sampling distribution of the proportion of people who show up on time for their flight will have a Normal shape. (a) Give the center and standard error for the sampling distribution of proportions. Round to four decimal places as needed. mean = and standard error = (b) What is the probability that at least 88% of the randomly selected booked passengers showed up on time? P(ˆp ≥0.88)= (c) What is the probability that between 82% and 90% of the randomly selected booked passengers showed up on time? P(0.82≤ˆp ≤0.9)= (d) Is 83% an unusually low percentage of…

Suppose that 75% of adults agree that, while downloading music from the Internet and then selling it is piracy and should be prohibited, downloading for personal use is an innocent act and should not be prohibited. We'll take a random sample of 30 adults and ask if they agree with the statement. Then the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of people who answer yes to the question is:
As the sample size (n) increases, does the sampling distribution of the sample mean stay the same, look more and more like a uniform distribution, or become more tightly clustered around the population mean?
At a large university, 68% of the students have a laptop, while only 43% of professors have one. Let and be the sample proportions of students and professors, respectively, who have a laptop. Suppose 56 students and 31 professors from this university are selected at random and asked if they have a laptop. Which of the following is the correct calculation and interpretation of the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of ? The difference (student – professor) in the sample proportions of those who have a laptop typically varies about 0.012 from the true difference in proportions. The difference (student – professor) in the sample proportions of those who have a laptop typically varies about 0.035 from the true difference in proportions. The difference (student – professor) in the sample proportions of those who have a laptop typically varies about 0.109 from the true difference in proportions.

Suppose that 77% of the students at a small private university carry student loans. For a SRS of students at this university, let P(hat) be the sample proportion of the students who carry student loans. How large would a sample from this population need to be to ensure that the distribution of the sample proportion is normally distributed?
