- There are two samples of children taken from a population. In the first sample, mean of age of 20 children is 8.5 years with standard deviation 3 years. In the second sample mean of age of 30 children is 7 years with standard deviation 2 years. If we combine these samples, what are the mean and the standard deviation of the combined sample? Age in which sample is more spread and why? Show your work by using formula and use 1 decimal place.arrow_forwardThe lengths of pregnancies in a small rural village are normally distributed with a mean of 264 days and a standard deviation of 15 days.

When the distribution is standardized, what value will be obtained for a score of X= 58 from the original distribution?arrow_forwardIn Fall 2019 the mean GPA of the 7000 students enrolled at Boatsville College was 2.81, with standard deviation 0.95. During that semester a random sample of 17 students was selected and determined to have a mean of 3.18 and standard deviation of 0.83. Match the symbols with their values. |The parameter is = 3.18, and the statistic is H = 2.81 The population mean is ī = 2.81, and the sample mean is u = 3.18 The parameter is u = 3.18, and the statistic is T = 2.81 The population mean is u = 2.81, and the sample mean is a = 3.18 None of the above is correctarrow_forward
