Which of the following statements is not correct? A.If the population mean and population standard deviation are both known, one can make probability statements about individual x values taken from the population B.When sample data are used for estimating a population mean, sampling error will not be present since the observed sample statistic will not differ from the actual value of the population parameter C.When an interval estimate is associated with a degree of confidence that it actually includes the population parameter of interest, it is referred to as a confidence interval D.If the population mean and population standard deviation are both known, one can use the central limit theorem and make probability statements about the means of samples taken from the population

Provide an original example of some practical case where we can use the normal distribution (e.g., IQ scores follow a normal distribution of probabilities with a mean IQ of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 IQ points.). Assign your numbers for mean 70 and standard deviation 30. Make sure 70 is about four times bigger than 30. Then select any number 90 below or above mean 70, but not too far from 70. Find following two probabilities: 1) P(x < a)2) P(x > a)Use the formula z = (a - μ)/σ to calculate your z-value. Please refer to the Appendix Table for the Standard Normal Distribution Hint: To find P(x>a) use formula: P(x>a) = 1 - P(x<a). Describe how to would find P( 65 < x < 25). Provide an original example to illustrate how to find such probabilities.

The Plush Zo store sells stuffed animals. The store is running a special on teddy bears this month. One day, the shopkeeper took a sample of stuffed animals at the store. She found that 4 of the 15 stuffed animals that she sampled were teddy bears. The store had 590 stuffed animals on that day, and 110 of those stuffed animals were teddy bears. For the shopkeeper's sample, find and write with proper notation the population proportion and sample proportion of stuffed animals that were teddy bears. Write the proportions as decimals (not percentages) rounded to two decimal places. (a) Population proportion: (Choose one) V ? (b) Sample proportion: (Choose one) ▼
1. Service time for a customer coming through a checkout counter in a retail store is a random variable with the mean of 10.0 minutes and standard deviation of 4.0 minutes. Suppose that the distribution of service time is fairly close to a normal distribution. Suppose there are two counters in a store, n₁ = 41, customers in the first line and m₂ = 51 customers in the second line. Find the probability that the difference between the mean service time for the shorter line and the mean service time for the longer X₂ one ¹2 is more than 0.4 minutes. Assume that the service times for each customer can be regarded as independent random variables.
