Miami Heat Salaries Confidence level is 95%, σ is not known, and the normal quantile plot of the 17 salaries (thousands of dollars) of Miami Heat basketball players is as shown.
Sample Size Find the Sample size necessary to estimate the mean arrival delay time for all American Airline flights from JFK to LAX. Assume 0131 we want 95% confidence that the sample mean is in error by no more than 5 min. Based on a larger sample than the one given for Exercises 1–4, assume that all arrival delay times have a standard deviation of 30.4 min.

If you ask a computer to generate “random numbers" between 0 and 5, you will get observations from a uniform distribution. Figure 13.12 shows the density curve for a uniform distribution. This curve takes the constant value 0.2 between 0 and 5 and is zero outside that range. Use this density curve to answer these questions. a. Why is the total area under the curve equal to 1? b. The curve is symmetric. What is the value of the mean and median? c. What percentage of the observations lie between 4 and 5? d. What percentage of the observations lie between 1.5 and 3? height = 0,20 Moore/Notz, Statistics: Concepts and Controversies, 10e, 0 2020 W. H.

- 3.6 Triathlon times, Part II: The distribution for triathlon time varies depending on the population you are describing. The distribution for men ages 30 - 34 is N(µ-4323, o=562). The distribution for women ages 25 - 29 is N(μ-5227, o=828). Note, these distributions list the triathlon times in seconds. Use this information to compute each of the following. Report your answer to 2 decimal places. a) The cutoff time for the fastest 5% of athletes in the men's group, i.e. those who took the shortest 5% of time to finish. b) The cutoff time for the slowest 10% of athletes in the women's group.arrow_forwardH. : p = 0.65 and H, : p > 0.65 where p= the proportion of students who were quarantined at some point during the Fall Semester of 2020.
