uppose you are studying the weights of house cats. You find their weights are normally distributed with a mean of 11.1 pounds and a standard deviation of 2.6 pounds. 1) Suppose that you took a sample of 20 randomly selected house cats and their average weight came in at the 35th percentile. What was the average weight of this group?

Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 238 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 142.4 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 175.45 cm and a standard deviation of 5.59 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme? ... Since the z score for the tallest man is z = 0 and the z score for the shortest man is z = the man had the height that was Im- more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.) shortest tallest
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?
A particular fruits’ weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 312 grams, and a SD of 20 grams. If you pick 6 fruits at random, then 16% of the time, their mean weight will be greater than how many grams? (Give the answer to the nearest gram)
This question applies to the next 3 MCQs. Wire wound resistors are being custom made for a Design House with a maximum specification of 305.70 ohms and a minimum specification of 304.55 ohms. If the resistance is higher it can be reworked, if lower they must be scrapped. The resistors manufactured follow a normal distribution with a mean of 305.2 ohms and a standard deviation of 0.25 ohms. What percentage of the resistors are scrap (approximately)? 5% 2% 0.1% 0.5% 1%
The board of examiners that administers the real estate broker’s examination in a certain state found that the mean score on the test was 450 and the standard deviation was 50. If the board wants to set the passing scores so that only the top 5% of all applicants pass, what should the passing score be? Assume that the scores are normally distributed.
In a large section of a statistics class, the points for the final exam are normally distributed, with a mean of 73 and a standard deviation of 8. 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. Click here to view Page 1 of the Standard Normal Table.

The salaries of professional baseball players are heavily skewed right with a mean of $3.2 million and a standard deviation of $2 million. The salaries of professional football players are also heavily skewed right with a mean of $1.9 million and a standard deviation of $1.5 million. A random sample of 40 baseball players’ salaries and 35 football players’ salaries is selected. The mean salary is determined for both samples. Let represent the difference in the mean salaries for baseball and football players. Which of the following represents the shape of the sampling distribution for ? skewed right since the populations are both right skewed skewed right since the differences in salaries cannot be negative approximately Normal since both sample sizes are greater than 30 approximately Normal since the sum of the sample sizes is greater than 30
