(Sec. 5.4) Let X denote the courtship time for a randomly selected female-male pair of mating scorpion flies. Suppose the mean value of X is 120 min. and the standard deviation of X is 110 min. (a) Is it plausible that X is normally distributed? Explain why or why not. (b) For a random sample of 55 such pairs, what is the approximate probability that the sample mean courtship time is between 100 min. and 125 min.? (c) For a random sample of 55 such pairs, what is the approximate probability that the total courtship time is greater than 150 hours?

Using an α = 0.05, a confidence interval for a population proportion is determined to be 0.65 to 0.75. If the level of significance is decreased, the interval for the population proportion _____.
An existing inventory for a test measuring self-esteem indicates that the scores have a standard deviation of 9. A psychologist gave the self-esteem test to a random sample of 60 individuals, and their mean score was 59. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the true mean of all test scores. Then give its lower limit and upper limit. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

The law of large numbers states that as the number of observations drawn at random from a population with finite mean increases, the mean of the observed values: a. tends to get closer and closer to the population mean . b. gets smaller and smaller. c. gets larger and larger. d. fluctuates steadily between 1 standard deviation above and 1 standard deviation below the mean. I collect a random sample of size n from a population and compute a 95% confidence interval for the proportion I observe from the population. What could I do to produce a new confidence interval with a larger width (larger margin of error) based on these same data? a. I could use the same confidence level but compute the interval n times; approximately 5% of these intervals will be larger. b. Nothing can guarantee absolutely that I will get a larger interval; I can only say the chance of obtaining a larger interval is 0.05. c. I could use a smaller confidence…
