Assume the sample variances to be continuous measurements. Find the probability that a random sample of 31 observations, from a normal population with variance of 6, will have a sample variance between 3.33 and 9,99 Select one: Oa. 0.975 Ob. 0.011 Oc 0.985 Od. 0.965
Assume that the average score on a statistical test is 8.5 and the variance is 2. The test was on the lighter side and the score distribution was very skewed (left skewed). What probability distribution is it reasonable to assume that the average grade of 3 randomly selected students who take the exam follows? 1. Normal distribution with mean 8.5 and variance 2. 2. Normal distribution with an average of 8.5 and a variance of 2/3. 3. Poisson distribution with an average of 8.5 and a distribution of 8. 4. The probability distribution cannot be predicted from the information provided.
A standardized exam's scores are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was 1458 and the standard deviation was 312. The test scores of four students selected at random are 1860, 1220, 2150, and 1340. Find the z-scores that correspond to each value and determine whether any of the values are unusual. The z-score for 1860 is (Round to two decimal plaes as needed.)
A distribution consists of three components with frequencies 45, 40 and 65, having the their mean 2, 2.5, and 2. Show that the mean of the combined distribution is 2.13 approximately.
Determine if the following statements are true or false. a. Jane took a sample of n = 100 observations from a population with mean and standard deviation. Mike also took a sample of n = 200 observations from the same population. Then, Mike’s sample mean will be closer to the true population mean than Jane’s sample. b. Jane took a sample of n = 100 observations from a population with mean and standard deviation. Mike also took a sample of n = 200 observations from a population with mean and standard deviation 2. Then, the sample mean from Mike’s sample is more likely to be close to the true mean than the sample mean from Jane’s sample. That is, the probability that X is between 90% and 110% of mean is higher for Mike’s sample than for Jane’s sample.
