Question

Suppose that the number of movies viewed in the last year by high school students has an average of 19.3 with a standard deviation of 15.8. Suppose we take an SRS of 100 high school students.

Formulas:

a) Verify conditions of the sample mean number of movies viewed is being normally distributed. ["", "", "", ""]

b) The mean of the sample mean number of movies viewed is ["", "", "", ""] and the standard deviation for the sample mean is ["", "", "", ""] .

c) The probability that the sample mean number of movies viewed is less than 21 is ["", "", "", ""]

d) The sample mean considered in the top 10 percent of number of movies viewed is approximately ["", "", "", ""] .

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
