The adult body lengths of deer mice (excluding the tail) vary approximately Normally, with mean u = 86 mm and standard deviation o=8 mm. A researcher selects a random sample of 14 deer mice. For the following, fill in the blanks: (a) The probability that the sample mean body length would be less than 80 mm is Assuming that the population mean is 86 mm (considering 86 mm as our assumption): (b) If we repeat taking all possible samples of size 14 from the population, then only out of 1,000 sample means would have values as small as 80 mm or about even smaller.

EXPERIMENT 1: A researcher believes that on average women weigh less today than during the renaissance period around the 15th to 16th centuries. To investigate this belief, a random sample of 41 adult wômen is chosen and their weights are recorded. The mean weight of the sample is 111 pounds with a standard deviation of 12.4 pounds. Based on historical records and paintings of women from the renaissance, it is determined that the average weight of an adult women from that period would have been about 115 pounds.

Suppose that we want to estimate the mean reading speed of second graders. The random sample of students' reading speeds we choose has a mean of 29.8 words per minute and a standard deviation of 2.7 words per minute. For each of the following sampling scenarios, determine which test statistic is appropriate to use when making inference statements about the population mean. (In the table, Z refers to a variable having a standard normal distribution, and t refers to a variable having a t distribution.) Sampling Scenario Z t could use either Z or t unclear (1) The sample has size 95, and it is from a non-normally distributed population with a known standard deviation of 3.2. (2) The sample has size 19, and it is from a population with a distribution about which we know very little.
Question 4 The length of a fully grown hibiscus plant is normally distributed and has a mean 35cm. It is found that 5% of these plants are longer than 45cm. Find the standard deviation σ. When plants are chosen for sale, those shorter than 30cm are rejected. Find the probability that a plant will be rejected. Please show the solution using standard normal table
Question 8 A factory makes bath bombs. According to the factory, the weight of a bath bomb has a mean of 4.20 oz and standard deviation of 0.5 oz. To verify whether the bath bomb indeed has a mean weight of 4.20 oz, we sampled 144 bath bombs and found a sample mean of 4.15 oz. Please compute the p-value for the hypothesis test that verifies whether the mean weight of the soap equals 4.20 oz or not: Please round your result to 2 decimal places. Answer (Correctly):____________________-
Question4: The times for untrained rats to run a standard maze has a normal distribution where the times are measured in seconds. The researcher hopes to show that training improves the times. A sample of 9 rats were selected and the time to run a standard maze before and after training were measured in seconds and shown below. Does the data support the researcher’s hypothesis? Conduct a hypothesis test at 5% significant level (specify 4 steps).
