"The central limit theorem states that if X1, X2, X, are independent and identically .... distributed random variables, each having mean u and variance o?, then the distribution of X; tends to a normal distribution with mean u and variance o?." The statement above is erroneous. Point out the incorrect parts and ex plain why they are incorrect. It is known that the mean weight u of packages of a certain brand of supplement pills is 5.02 grams. Find the probability that a random sample of 100 such packages will have a mean weight between 4.96 and 5.00 grams. Assume that the standard deviation o is 0.30 grams. Leave your answer in 4 decimal places.

1. The strength of steel wire made by an existing process is normally distributed with a mean of 1550 and a standard deviation of 170. A batch of wire is made by a new process, and a random sample consisting of 25 measurements gives an average strength of 1316. Assume that the standard deviation does not change. Is there evidence at the 1% level of significance that the new process gives a larger mean strength than the old? To answer this question, the null hypothesis could be stated as A. μ= 1550 psi B. μ> 1550 psi C.µ + 1550 psi D. μ< 1550 psi
Suppose that average rainfall in your city is normally distributed, and for the past 36 months, the rainfall has been 0.5 inches per day on average with a standard deviation of 0.16. Let x be a random variable that has a normal distribution and represents the rainfall in inches per day. Using a 0.05 level of significance, you want to test the hypothesis that monthly rainfall has been 0.7 inches per day on average. What conclusion do you make from your test? Select one: a. Reject H0; the average rainfall is not 0.5 inches. b. Reject H0; the average rainfall is not 0.7 inches. c. Do not reject H0; the average rainfall is still 0.5 inches. d. Do not reject H0; the average rainfall is still 0.7 inches.

Suppose the above bell curve (normal distribution) represents the voters and their viewpoints (the "height" of the curve represents the number of voters with that particular view) on the highly debated issue for an upcoming election for a member of Congress. The two candidates's (A and B) views on the issue are as indicated; your opinion on the issue is represented by the "green line." Who will you vote for in the election? Why do you prefer that candidate over the other? According to the Median Voter Theory, which candidate will win the election? Why will that candidate win (why will they receive the majority of votes)?
