Suppose the grade distribution of midterm scores in a large lecture course is as follows: 25% A, 30% B, 30% C, 10% D, 5% F The professor is going to sample 50 students at random from the class. Calculate the expected value and standard error for the percentage of students in the sample who got a C or better.

A researcher selects a sample of 6 men and 11 women. She asks participants to rate the likelihood they would do female-stereotyped jobs (such as nursing or school teaching) on a scale from 1 = not likely at all to 5 = very likely. Men indicated that they would be less likely to do these jobs (M = 2.1) compared with women (M = 4.3). What is the weighted mean for the combined sample of 17 total participants? O O 2.1 4.3 3.2 3.5
An immunologist wants to compare two rabies vaccines. People who had previously received the vaccine were divided into two groups. The first group received a booster dose of type I vaccine and the second group received a booster dose of type II vaccine. Two weeks later the antibody level was measured. The average number of antibodies in each group appears in the following table: Do these data indicate that there is a difference in the effectiveness of the two vaccines used for booster doses? Assume a normal distribution and equal population variances. What type of hypothesis test will allow us to reach a conclusion in the situation posed above? A. Variance test B. Unilateral for difference in proportions C. Bilateral for average difference D. Unilateral for change in effectiveness
Part I A bakery sells homemade bread by the loaf and sales are uniformly distributed between 200 and 600 loaves per day. a. Find the probability of selling 240 loaves on a given day. b. Find the probability of selling between 250 and 260 loaves per day Part II The golf balls produced by TruGolf have a mean distance of 250 meters and a variance of 625 meters. c. How large a sample of TruGolf balls should be taken if they want to estimate with 90% confidence the mean distance to within 8 meters? d A random sample of 40 balls from TruGolf are selected. Find the Bound of Error when the confidence level is 95% for TruGolf
A pharmaceutical company makes tranquilizers. It is assumed that the distribution for the length of time they last is approximately normal. Researchers in a hospital used the drug on a random sample of 9 patients. The effective period of the tranquilizer for each patient (in hours) was as follows: 2.5; 2.8; 3.1; 2.3; 2.3; 2.2; 2.8; 2.1; and 2.4. 1.Which distribution should you use for this problem? (Enter your answer in the form z or tdf where df is the degrees of freedom.) 2. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean length of time. (i) State the confidence interval. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) ( , ) (iii) Calculate the error bound. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
A researcher would like to evaluate the effectiveness of a pain-relief patch designed for back pain. Prior to testing the patch, each of n = 8 patients rates their current level of back pain on a scale from 1 to 10. After wearing the patch for 90 minutes, a second pain rating is recorded. The data are as follows: Before After 6 2 8 3 9 4 8 1 10 2 5 3 9 8 7 7 a. Compute the mean and variance for the sample of difference scores. b. Do the results indicate that the pain-relief patch has an effect? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05 c. Compute Cohen’s d to measure the size of the effect.
Is the difference between the mean annual salaries of statisticians in Region 1 and Region 2 more than $5000? To decide, you select a random sample of statisticians from each region.

Any basketball fan knows that Shaquille O'Neal, one of the NBA's most dominant centers of the last twenty years, always had difficulty shooting free throws. Over the course of his career, his overall made free-throw percentage was 53.3%. During one off- season, Shag had been working with an assistant coach on his free-throw technique. During the next season, a simple random sample showed that Shaq made 26 of 39 free-throw attempts. Test the claim that Shaq has significantly improved his free-throw shooting using a 0.05 significance level. Check the conditions of the Central Limit Theorem for this scenario. Calculate the number of expected successes.
Is the difference between the mean annual salaries of statisticians in Region 1 and Region 2 more than $4000? To decide, you select a random sample of statisticians from each region.
