You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population mean. Based on previous evidence, you believe the population standard deviation is approximately o = 23.8. You would like to be 98% confident that your estimate is within 2.5 of the true population mean. How large of a sample size is required? Do not round mid-calculation. However, you are encouraged to use a critical value accurate to three decimal places – this is important for the system to be able to give hints for incorrect answers.

. Students may be classified as having a math dysfunction—and not have to take statistics—if they score below the 25th percentile on a diagnostic test. The m of the test is 75 and sX 10. Approximately what raw score is the cutoff score needed to avoid taking statistics?
A student who took Stat 2 last semester learns that their overall course score was at the 85th percentile. Assuming that a histogram of all the Stat 2 course scores from last semester follows the normal curve, this means that this student had a score that was how many SDs above the average score? Choose the answer that is closest. Group of answer choices 1.15 1.05 1.10 1.0 PreviousNext
Thank you!
The biologist wants to estimate the average age of Coyotes in Tuolumne County. Her estimates from past experience suggest the standard deviation is 1.3 years. How big of a sample should she take to be 95% sure his estimate is off by no more than 3minutes?
You determine that the standard deviation for a sample of test scores is 0. This tells you that 1 all the test scores must be 0. 2 all the test scores must be the same value. 3 there is no straight-line association. 4 the mean test score must also be 0. 5 you made a mistake because the standard deviation can never be 0.

Using your favorite statistics software package, you generate a scatter plot which displays a linear form. You find a regression equation and the standard deviation for both variables. The standard deviation for x is 2.03, and the standard deviation for y is 5.2. The regression equation is reported as - 5.5 + 1.84x What fraction of the variation in y can be explained by the variation in the values of x? (Enter your answer as a decimal between 0 and 1.)
Why is squaring such an important step in calculating the standard deviation? That is, which of the following statements is true? If you don't square, deviation scores will never average to zero. Squaring ensures that data will be reliable. When you sqaure, this makes values bigger and it is important to have large values. If you don't square, deviation scores will always average to zero.
