Question
Do you have a great deal of confidence in the advice given to you by your medical doctor? About 45% of all adult Americans claim they do have a great deal of confidence in their M.D.s. Suppose a random sample of n = 39 adults in a health insurance program are asked about their confidence in the medical advice their doctors give.
(a) Is the normal approximation to the proportion p̂ = r/n valid?(Round your answers to two decimal places.)
(b) Find the values of μp̂ and σp̂. (Round your answer for σp̂ to three decimal places.)
It ---Select--- is is not possible to use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution because n · p = , which is ? > ≤ 5, and n · q = , which is ? > ≤ 5.
(b) Find the values of μp̂ and σp̂. (Round your answer for σp̂ to three decimal places.)

- They all go together with the question.arrow_forwardA student who took Stat 2 last semester learns that their overall course score was at the 85th percentile. Assuming that a histogram of all the Stat 2 course scores from last semester follows the normal curve, this means that this student had a score that was how many SDs above the average score? Choose the answer that is closest. Group of answer choices 1.15 1.05 1.10 1.0 PreviousNextarrow_forwarda. What is the value of the standard error of the estimate (to 4 decima b.

- Which of the following statements is not true? There is only one median for each variable. One definition of the median states that, for an odd number of observations, the median is the middle score when scores are placed in order of magnitude. Another term for the median is 50th percentile. The median is generally more sensitive to (i.e., affected by) the presence of a few extreme observations than is the mean.arrow_forwardDo you have a great deal of confidence in the advice given to you by your medical doctor? About 45% of all adult Americans claim they do have a great deal of confidence in their M.D.s. Suppose a random sample of n = 31 adults in a health insurance program are asked about their confidence in the medical advice their doctors give. (a) Is the normal approximation to the proportion p̂ = r/n valid? (Round your answers to two decimal places.) It (is or is not) possible to use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution because n · p = (answer), which is (< or >) 5, and n · q =, which is (> or <) 5.

If you know that the mean number of take-out dinners in a month for men is 15.1, and that the overall mean number of take-out dinners per month (for the population) is 13.4, then what is the mean number of take-out dinners in a month for women? Enter your answer rounded to one decimal place.arrow_forward
