**Title: Understanding Statistical Analysis Through Moral Values Poll****Introduction:**A recent poll indicates that 41% of adults believe that the overall state of moral values is poor. In this exercise, we will analyze a sample of adults to understand more about this belief.**Problem Statement:**Suppose a recent poll found that 41% of adults believe that the overall state of moral values is poor. Complete parts (a) through (c).**Part (a): Statistical Analysis for a Random Sample**- **Objective:** For 250 randomly selected adults, compute the mean and standard deviation of the random variable X, which represents the number of adults who believe that the overall state of moral values is poor.- **Steps to Solve:** 1. **Calculate the Mean (Expected Value) of X:** - Use the formula for the mean of a binomial distribution: \( \mu = n \cdot p \) - Here, \( n = 250 \) (the sample size) and \( p = 0.41 \) (the probability that an adult believes the moral values are poor). 2. **Compute the Result:** - The mean \( \mu \) is found by multiplying 250 by 0.41. - Provide the result rounded to the nearest whole number.**Additional Information:**The subsequent parts of this analysis would likely involve calculating the standard deviation and interpreting these statistics in a real-world context, although they are not detailed in this excerpt.Upon completion, students will gain a better understanding of how statistical methods can be applied to survey data to draw meaningful conclusions about public opinion.

(a) For 250 randomly selected adults, compute the mean and standard deviation of the random variable X, the number of adults who believe that the overall state of moral values is poor. The mean of X is (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 238 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 142.4 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 175.45 cm and a standard deviation of 5.59 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme? ... Since the z score for the tallest man is z = 0 and the z score for the shortest man is z = the man had the height that was Im- more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.) shortest tallest
A standardized exam’s score are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was 1477 and the standard was 315.

In a normal distribution of scores, four participants obtained the following deviation scores: +1, −2, +5, and −10. (a) Which score reflects the highest raw score? (b) Which score reflects the lowest raw score? (c) Rank-order the deviation scores in terms of their frequency, starting with the score with the lowest frequency.
A study is conducted to compare the performance of students with more than one personal electronic gadget and those with only one. A number of them were taken as subjects for the study. The mean grades of these students and the standard deviations are shown below: For one gadget: The mean is 83, standard deviation is 12, and sample size is 7. For more than one gadget: The mean is 79, standard deviation is 13, and sample size is 5. Is it possible to conclude that there is no significant difference in the mean grades of the two types of students at a 95% confidence interval? Note: This is a two-tailed test. Also take note that this is finding the difference between two population means.
n a school district, all sixth grade students take the same standardized test. The superintendant of the school district takes a random sample of 21 scores from all of the students who took the test. She sees that the mean score is 128 with a standard deviation of 41.4416. The superintendant wants to know if the standard deviation has changed this year. Previously, the population standard deviation was 25. Is there evidence that the standard deviation of test scores has increased at the α=0.005 level? Assume the population is normally distributed. Step 1 of 5 : State the null and alternative hypotheses. Round to four decimal places when necessary.

For college-bound seniors in 2018, SAT math scores are normally distributed with a mean of 515 and a standard deviation of 116. You suspect that seniors in the Auraria Campus are much brighter than the country as a whole, so you decide to conduct a test. In a random sample of 25 seniors, you find the mean SAT math score to be 555. You assume that the standard deviation of math scores in Auraria Campus are the same as the national standard deviation of a = 116. Is this sufficient evidence to conclude that Auraria Campus seniors are smarter? Take a -0.05.
2. Alfred scored 82 in a quiz in English for which the average Score of the class was 75 with a standard deviation of 10. He also took a quiz in Statistics and scored 70 for which the average score of the class was 55, and the standard deviation was 14. Relative to other students in the class, did Alfred do better in English or Statistics?
On an intelligence test, the mean number of raw items correct is 236 and the standard deviation is 39. What are the raw (actual) scores on the test for people with IQs of (a) 119, (b) 81, and (c)100? To do this problem, first figure the Z score for the particular IQ score; then use that Z score to find the raw score. Note that IQ scores have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. (a) What is the raw (actual) score on the test for people with an IQ of 119?
