Answer to Problem 1FP

Notation for Population Size = N

Explanation of Solution

Population size refers to the number of individuals or observation in population. The Notation for population size is “N”.

For e.g., Population of America is 329,275,423, which means N = 329,275,423.

To determine

(b)

To write the statistical notation of Sample Size.

Answer to Problem 1FP

Notation for Sample Size = N

Explanation of Solution

Sample size refers to the number of individuals or observation in sample. The Notation for Sample size is “n”.

For e.g., You take a random sample of 100 people then sample size (n) = 100.

To determine

(c)

To write the statistical notation of Population Mean.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 1FP

Notation for Population Size = "μ"

Explanation of Solution

Population mean refers to the average of population which is calculated by dividing the sum of observation of population by the number of observations in the population (Population size).

The notation for Population mean is "μ"

For e.g., The population mean height of an adult in America is 174 cm. Therefore, μ=174cms.

To determine

(d)

To write the statistical notation of Sample Mean.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 1FP

Notation for Sample Size = "μ"

Explanation of Solution

Sample mean refers to the average of Sample which is calculated by dividing the sum of observation of Sample by the number of observations in the Sample (Sample size).

The notation for Sample mean is x¯.

For e.g., A researcher have randomly selected 100 males in US and the calculated their mean height and found that mean height is 171 cm. Therefore, x¯=171cm.

Suppose the Internal Revenue Service reported that the mean tax refund for the year 2022 was $3401. Assume the standard deviation is $82.5 and that the amounts refunded follow a normal probability distribution. Solve the following three parts? (For the answer to question 14, 15, and 16, start with making a bell curve. Identify on the bell curve where is mean, X, and area(s) to be determined. 1.What percent of the refunds are more than $3,500? 2. What percent of the refunds are more than $3500 but less than $3579? 3. What percent of the refunds are more than $3325 but less than $3579?
A normal distribution has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 4. Solve the following three parts? 1. Compute the probability of a value between 44.0 and 55.0. (The question requires finding probability value between 44 and 55. Solve it in 3 steps. In the first step, use the above formula and x = 44, calculate probability value. In the second step repeat the first step with the only difference that x=55. In the third step, subtract the answer of the first part from the answer of the second part.) 2. Compute the probability of a value greater than 55.0. Use the same formula, x=55 and subtract the answer from 1. 3. Compute the probability of a value between 52.0 and 55.0. (The question requires finding probability value between 52 and 55. Solve it in 3 steps. In the first step, use the above formula and x = 52, calculate probability value. In the second step repeat the first step with the only difference that x=55. In the third step, subtract the answer of the first part from the…
