A researcher wishes to see if there is a difference in the manual dexterity of athletes and that of band members. Two random samples of 30 are selectedfrom each group and are given a manual dexterity test. The mean of the athletes’ test was 87, and the mean of the band members’ test was 92. The population standard deviation for the test is 7.2. At α = 0.01, is there a significant difference in the mean scores?
We wish to check that normal body temperature may be less than 98.6 degrees. In a random sample of n=18 individuals, the sample mean was found to be 98.217 and the standard deviation was .684. Assume the population is normally distributed. Use α=0.05.

IQ scores are randomly distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of15. If a genius is defined as someone who is in the top 1 o/o,find the IQ score that separatesgeniuses from the rest of the population.
A researcher wants to know the lifetime of a "BL" brand lamp. For necessity research, it takes 9 pieces of lamps to be tested. Experimental results shows an average lifetime of 1,500 hours with a standard deviation of 111 hours. Count it E (X); variance X and standard deviation (ar) average lamp life under test.
A claim was made that the average age of couples getting married for the first time was 22.4 years old with a standard deviation of σ = 2.3 years. A random sample of 45 couples getting married had an average age of 22.1 years. How large a sample should be taken if the researcher is willing to accept a 0.15 probability of making a Type II error when the actual population mean is 22? Use α = 0.05.

The distribution of SAT scores is normal with a mean of µ = 500 and a standard deviation of σ = 100. What SAT score (i.e., X score) separates the top 25% of the distribution from the rest? What SAT score (i.e., X score) separates the top 40% of the distribution from the rest? What SAT score (i.e., X score) separates the top 4% of the distribution from the rest?
A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood. Suppose that after a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean ? = 84 and standard deviation ? = 25. Note: After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. For an adult (under 50) after a 12-hour fast, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) x is more than 60(b) x is less than 110(c) x is between 60 and 110(d) x is greater than 125 (borderline diabetes starts at 125)
