Question
1. Supposethat 13% of the population is left handed. An auditorium at a large college has been built with 15 “lefty seats”, seats that have the built in desk on the left. A class is made up of a random sample of 90 students from this large college. A. Are the requirements for using a normal model met? Identify (and check) two requirements:1. ______________________________________________________________________2. ______________________________________________________________________
B. What is the probability that more than 17% of the sample of 90 students is left handed? (so there will not be enough appropriate seats for the left-handed students)

The boxplots are drawn using a common numerical scale. Which of the following must be true? 1. The lower 25% of Class B are much more spread out than the lower 25% of Class A 2. More people scored below the lower quartile for Class A than Class B 3. The distribution for Class B is skewed left and has a noticeable outlier as well, while the distribution for Class A is somewhat skewed right 4.Class A had more people between the median and the lower quartile than Class B. 3.The distribution for Class A is somewhat symmetric, while the distribution for Class B is skewed right with a noticeable outlier as wellarrow_forward
- USE EXCEL to solve this problem. Thanks.arrow_forwardASK YOUR TEACHER Nationally, about 11% of the total U.S. wheat crop is destroyed each year by hail.t An insurance company is studying wheat hail damage claims in a county in Colorado. A random sample of 16 claims in the county reported the percentage of their wheat lost to hail. 14 7 10 11 12 19 14 11 9 8 23 19 13 7 10 7 The sample mean is x = 12.1%. Let x be a random variable that represents the percentage of wheat crop in that county lost to hail. Assume that x has a normal distribution and a = 5.0%. Do these data indicate that the percentage of wheat crop lost to hail in that county is different (either way) from the national mean of 11%? Use a = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. Will you use a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test?

- A father is concerned that his teenage son is watching too much television each day, since his son watches an average of 2 hours per day His son says that his TV habits are no different than those of his friends. Since this father has taken a stats class, he knows that can actually test to see whether or not his son is watching more TV than his peers The father collects a random sample of watching times from boys at his son's high school and gets the following data: 1.9, 2.3, 2.2, 1.9, 1.6, 2.6, 1.4, 2.0, 2.0, 2.2 Find a 95% confidence interval for the true mean number of hours teenagers at that school watch TV. a.
