Textbook Question

Chapter 7.8, Problem 39E

Consider the Spontanversation sampling problem for which individuals who have downloaded Spontanversation use the app an average of 30 times per day with a standard deviation of 6.
What is the probability that x ¯ is within .5 of the population mean if a random sample of 50 individuals who have downloaded Spontanversation is used?
a. What would you conclude if the mean of the sample collected in part (a) is 30.2?
b. What is the probability that x ¯ is within .5 of the population mean if a sample of 500,000 individuals who have downloaded Spontanversation is used?
c. What would you conclude if the mean of the sample collected in part (c) is 30.2?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.

One Sample T-Test: Determine whether the average satisfaction rating of customers for a product is significantly different from a hypothetical mean of 75. (Hints: The null can be about maintaining status-quo or no difference; If your alternative hypothesis is non-directional (e.g., μ≠75), you should use the two-tailed p-value from excel file to make a decision about rejecting or not rejecting null. If alternative is directional (e.g., μ < 75), you should use the lower-tailed p-value. For alternative hypothesis μ > 75, you should use the upper-tailed p-value.) H0 = H1= Conclusion: The p value from one sample t-test is _______. Since the two-tailed p-value…
