Two students are throwing water balloons at a target. Accuracy is measured as how close the balloon is from the center of the target. Tory's distances from the center of the target are approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 123 mm and a standard deviation of 31 mm. Adam's distances from the center is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 108 mm and a standard deviation of 47 mm. If 5 attempts for Tory and 3 attempts for Adam are randomly selected, what is the probability that the mean distance from the center of the target for Tory is more than for Adam?

Grades are assigned such that the top 10% receive A's, the next 20% received B's, the middle 40% receive C's, the next 20% receive D's, and the bottom 10% receive F's. Find the lowest score on the final exam that would qualify a student for an A, a B, a C, and a D. The lowest score that would qualify a student for an A is________ (Round up to the nearest integer as needed.) The lowest score that would qualify a student for a B is_______ (Round up to the nearest integer as needed.)

Lucille, Rocio, and Cristina are all taking College Mathematics but from different professors. They all recently took a statistics exam and the exam scores were normally distributed in each of their classes. Lucille's class had an average grade of 85 and the standard deviation was 3. Lucille earned 89.5 on the exam. Rocio's class had an average grade of 83 and the standard deviation was 4. Rocio earned 87.4 on the exam. Cristina's class had an average grade of 76 and the standard deviation was 6. Cristina earned 79.3 on the exam. Since some professors give harder exams than others, these students decided to use statistics to figure out who did the best on their exam.

Alex's home run hitting distance is normally distributed with a mean of 410 feet and a standard deviation of 29 feet. He wanted to find the probability that his home runs traveled at least 375 feet. He calculated the z-score to be −1.21 and looked up the probability on the Standard Normal Probabilities table. He found that the table stated his probability as 0.1131. Determine whether Alex made an error in his calculation and explain.
A student in PSYC 227 class collects data for a class project. She asks 10 classmates to shoot 10 free throws on a standard basketball court and records the number of shots made by each participant (X). She also has these same participants run an obstacle course and records their time (Y). She wants to statistically evaluate if variables X and Y are related. She computes the sum of squared deviations for X, the sum of squared deviations for Y, and the sum of cross products between X and Y.

A random variable is normally distributed. It has a mean of 245 and a standard deviation of 21. If you take a sample of size 35, can you say what the shape of the distribution of the sample mean is? Why? For a sample of size 35, state the mean of the sample mean and the standard deviation of the sample mean. For a sample of size 35, find the probability that the sample mean is more than 241.
Mason earned a score of 226 on Exam A that had a mean of 250 and a standard deviation of 40. He is about to take Exam B that has a mean of 550 and a standard deviation of 25. How well must Mason score on Exam B in order to do equivalently well as he did on Exam A? Assume that scores on each exam are normally distributed.
A notable indicator of a baby's health is the weight gained in the first year of the baby's life. Assume that the population of all such weight gains for baby boys is approximately normally distributed. A study claimed that the mean of this population is 4.93 kg. As a practicing pediatrician, you want to test this claim. So, you select a random sample of 16 baby boys, and you record the weight each gained in their first year. Follow the steps below to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean of all the weight gains for baby boys in their first year. Then state whether the confidence interval you construct contradicts the study's claim. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample.
