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

Suppose that the cost of annual tuition at colleges is normally distributed, with an average annual cost of $13,926.78. The standard deviation of tuition is $4,085.42. What proportion of colleges would be expected to have an annual tuition between the cost of College A with a tuition of $20,106.18 and College B with a tuition of $14,829.01?
A random sample of 100,000 credit sales in a department store showed an average sale of $81.25. From past data, it is known that the standard deviation of the population is $10.00. Determine the standard error of the mean. O 0.0001 O 0.0100 O 0.0316 O 10.00
After numerous studies, it is estimated that the age of college students follows a normal distribution with a mean of 20.7 years and a standard deviation of 1.8 years. A random sample of 16 college students is taken and the sample mean and sample standard deviation are found to be 21.5 years and 2.3 years, respectively. a.Is the sample average of 21.5 considered an outlier (in other words, what is the chance of getting a sample mean at least as large as 21.5 assuming μ and σ are correct)? b. The calculated value of the sample standard deviation is larger than σ, is 2.3 years enough larger than 1.8 that the estimate of σ does not seem reasonable? Use probability to support your conclusion c.No matter what you got for an answer in part b, assume we no longer trust σ = 1.8 to be valid. Calculate the same probability as you did in part a, but this time, assume that σ is unknown.

Consider the data from the Anthropology 105 class. The mean for women is 64.33 in and the standard deviation is 2.64 in. The average height of men in the US is approximately 5ft 10in. What proportion of women represented here are shorter than the average man?
In nutrition, the recommended daily allowance of vitamins is a number set by the government to guide an individual's daily vitamin intake. Actually, vitamin needs vary drastically from person to person, but the needs are closely approximated by a normal curve. To calculate the recommended daily allowance, the government first finds the standard deviation and the average need for vitamins among people in the population. The recommended daily allowance is then defined as the mean plus 2.7 times the standard deviation. What fraction of the population will receive adequate amounts of vitamins under this plan? Click here to see page 1 of the table for areas under the standard normal curve. Click here to see page 2 of the table for areas under the standard normal curve. The fraction of the population that will receive adequate amounts of vitamins under the given plan is (Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth as needed.)

In nutrition, the recommended daily allowance of vitamins is a number set by the government as a guide to an individual's daily vitamin intake. Actually, vitamin needs vary drastically from person to person, but the needs are very closely approximated by a normal curve. To calculate the recommended daily allowance, the government first finds the average need for vitamins among people in the population, and the standard deviation. The recommended daily allowance is then defined as the mean plus 2.5 times the standard deviation. What is the recommended daily allowance for a vitamin with mean u and standard deviation o? recommended daily allowance =
