- A population of middle school students contains 160 sixth graders, 180 seventh graders, and 140 eighth graders. Nine seventh graders were part of a random sample of the population chosen to participate in a survey. For the sample to accurately represent the population, about how many sixth graders should be chosen? 7 8 14 16arrow_forwardEach customer entering a department store will either buy or not buy some merchandise. An experiment consists of following 5 customers and determining whether or not they purchase any merchandise.

Four of the pulse rates are 54, 82, 53, and 90. a. Find the missing value. b. Suppose that you need to create a list of n values that have a specific known mean. Some of the n values can be freely selected. How many of the n values can be freely assigned before the remaining values are determined?

- Five pulse rates are randomly selected from a set of measurements. The five pulse rates have a mean of 70.4 beats per minute. Four of the pulse rates are 83, 75, 91, and 51. a. Find the missing value. b. Suppose that you need to create a list of n values that have a specific known mean. Some of the n values can be freely selected. How many of then values can be freely as beats per minute. a. The missing value is (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. (Type an expression using n as the variable.) O A. Of the n values, can be freely selected because the remaining value(s) must be equal to the known mean. O B. Of then values, can be freely selected because the remaining value(s) can be expressed in terms of the mean, median, and midrange of the assigned values. O C. Of then values, can be freely selected because the remaining value(s) can be expressed in terms of the assigned values and the known…arrow_forwardIn a memory test, the test subjects are given a large number and are asked to memorize it. Historical records show that 80% of test subjects pass the test. To pass the test, a subject must exactly repeat all the digits in the number after two hours. A random sample of 625 people to take the memory test is going to be chosen. Let p be the proportion of people in the sample who pass the test. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of P. 0 (b) Find the standard deviation of p. 0 (c) Compute an approximation for P(P >0.84), which is the probability that more than 84% of the people in the sample pass the test. Round your answer to four decimal places. 0 Xarrow_forwardRace organizers want to survey the participating runners on the quality of the running course. Which of the following uses systematic random sampling? Select the first 15 finishers and the last 15 finishers to take the survey. Randomly select 15% of the male participants and 15% of the female participants. Select the 5th finisher (with the number 5 being randomly chosen) to survey, then survey every 15th finisher after that. Sort all of the runners' names alphabetically, then randomly choose 2 letters and survey all participants whose last name begins with one of those letters.arrow_forward

Each student's country of origin was recorded along with which superpower they would most like to have: the ability to fly, ability to freeze time, invisibility, superstrength, or telepathy (ability to read minds). The data are summarized in the following table. Country U.K. U.S. Fly 54 45 Freeze time 52 44 Invisibility 30 37 Superpower 20 23 Superstrength Telepathy 44 66 a.
