Textbook Question

Chapter 9.4, Problem 1BSC

True Statements? For the methods of this section, which of the following statements are true?

a. The requirement of a simple random sample is satisfied if we have matched pairs of voluntary response data.
b. If we have more than 10 matched pairs of sample data, we can consider the sample to be large and there is no need to check for normality.
c. If we have five matched pairs of sample data, there is a loose requirement that the five differences appear to be from a normally distributed population.
d. The methods of this section apply if we have 50 heights of women from Texas and 50 heights of women from Utah.
e. If we want to use a confidence interval to test the claim that μ_d > 0 with a 0.05 significance level, the confidence interval should have a confidence level of 90%.

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.
