To estimate the mean score μμ of those who took the Medical College Admission Test on your campus, you will obtain the scores of an SRS of students. From published information you know that the scores are approximately Normal with standard deviation about 6.56.5 . You want your sample mean ¯xx¯ to estimate μμ with an error of no more than 0.90.9 point in either direction. (a) What standard deviation must ¯xx¯ have so that 99.7%99.7% of all samples give an ¯xx¯ within 0.90.9 point of μμ ? Use the 68–95–99.768–95–99.7 rule. (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.) (b) How large an SRS do you need in order to reduce the standard deviation of ¯xx¯ to the value you found? (Enter your answer rounded to the nearest whole number.)
In the entire population of a certain type of tree, the mean height of the trees is μ = 168.8 ft and the standard deviation is σ = 43.6 ft. You collect a random sample of n=22 trees. The distribution of these sample means is shown below. Each tick mark on the horizontal axis is a distance of one more standard error. Complete the indicated boxes, correct to two decimal places. mean of distribution=168.8 standard error=9.30 Note: The left box is 2 standard errors below the mean. The middle box is the mean. The right box is 2 standard errors above the mean.

In a population of a certain species of newt, the mean length of the newts is μ= 63 inches and the standard deviation is σ= 3.4 inches. You collect a random sample of n=16 newts. The bell curve below represents the distribution of these sample means. The scale on the horizontal axis is the standard error of the sampling distribution. Complete the indicated boxes, correct to two decimal places. mean of distribution= standard error= Note: The left box is 2 standard errors below the mean. The middle box is the mean. The right box is 2 standard errors above the mean.
Information from the Department of Motor Vehicles indicates that the average age of licensed drivers is µ = 45.7 years with a standard deviation of σ = 12.5 years. Assuming that the distribution of drivers’ ages is approximately normal, answer the following questions: a. What proportion of licensed drivers are older than 50 years old? b. What proportion of licensed drivers are younger than 30 years old?

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 μ = 88 and standard deviation σ = 21. 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 140 (borderline diabetes starts at 140)
