- The heights of a simple random sample of 400 male high school sophomores in a Midwestern state are measured. The sample mean is x = 66.2 inches. Suppose that the heights of male high school sophomores follow a Normal distribution with a standard deviation of o= 4.1 inches. Suppose the heights of a simple random sample of 100 male sophomores were measured rather than 400. Which of the following statements is true? A) The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval would increase. B) The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval would decrease. C) The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval would stay the same because the level of confidence has not changed. D) The standard deviation owould decrease.arrow_forward2. A scoop is manufactured to put exactly 4.5 ounces of mashed potatoes on a plate per scoop. When you test the scoop 25 times, you notice that you scoop an average of 4.9 ounces of mashed potatoes per scoop, with a sample standard deviation of 1.2 ounces. Can we say that the amount of mashed potatoes scooped is significantly different from the claim of the scoop manufacturer? What type of hypothesis test is this?

He obtains a random sample of 72 cars and finds the average distance to be 14,362 miles with a standard deviation of 1,359 miles. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean distance driven per year. Interpret your result. b) If in the above scenario, a claim is made that the average distance driven is 15,000 miles. Would this claim be valid or invalid, based on the results in part (a)?arrow_forward
- Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population and test the given claim. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. A simple random sample of 25 filtered 100 mm cigarettes is obtained, and the tar content of each cigarette is measured. The sample has a mean of 19.4 mg and a standard deviation of 3.61 mg. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean tar content of filtered 100 mm cigarettes is less than 21.1 mg, which is the mean for unfiltered king size cigarettes. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the filters? a) What are the hypotheses? b) Identify the P-value. c) State the final conclusion. A. Fail to reject H0.
