The mean annual cost of automobile insurance is $939 (CNBC, February 23, 2006). Assume that the population standard deviation is σ = $245. What is the probability that a simple random sample of automobile insurance policies will have a sample mean within $25 of the population mean (P (939-25 <x-bar<939+25)) for each of the following sample sizes: 30, 50, and 100?
The study cited in Exercise 5.3.1 reported an estimated mean serum cholesterol level of 183 for women aged 20–29 years. The estimated standard deviation was approximately 37. Use these estimates as the mean m and standard deviation s for the U.S. population. If a simple random sample of size 60 is drawn from this population, find the probability that the sample mean serum cholesterol level will be: (a) Between 170 and 195 (b) Below 175 (c) Greater than 190

In a recent year, 11th grade New York public school students taking an English test produced test scores that were normally distributed with a mean of 84 and a standard deviation of 7.2. Let x be a random variable that represents a test score. What is the lowest score that would still place a student in the top 30% of the scores? A. 85.82 B. 87.78 C. 82.52 D. 79.47
In high school X, approximately 9 percent of the students saw a certain movie on opening night. From a random sample of 200 students from high school Y, 22 saw the movie on opening night. Consider a hypothesis test to investigate whether the proportion of all students in high school Y who saw the movie on opening night is greater than that of high school X. Which of the following is the standard deviation used to calculate the test statistic for the one-sample zz-test?
Douglas is a farmer who believes that his cow produces an average of 7 gallons of milk per day. To test this, he randomly selects 31 days and records the number of gallons the cow produces on each of those days. The sample mean is 6.9 gallons with a sample standard deviation of 0.3 gallon. If the test statistic t=−1.86 and the alternative hypothesis is Ha:μ≠7, find the p-value range for the appropriate hypothesis test.

Let x be a random variable representing the starting salary of a first-year teacher in a city. A report claims that the mean starting salary of these first-year teachers is greater than $50,000. To test this claim we find that a random sample of 20 teachers has a mean starting salary of $51,425 with a sample standard deviation of $3,549. If you assume that the population mean is $50,000, find the P-value corresponding to the hypothesis that the mean starting salary of the first-year teachers is greater than $50,000.
Let x be a random variable representing the starting salary of a first-year teacher in a city. A report claims that the mean starting salary of these first-year teachers is less than $52,000. To test this claim we find that a random sample of 25 teachers has a mean starting salary of $51,875 with a sample standard deviation of $1,055. If you assume that the population mean is $52,000, find the P-value corresponding to the hypothesis that the mean starting salary of the first-year teachers is less than $52,000.
