experience shows that consumers may patronize restaurants as far as about 3 km. How large a sample is needed to estimate the mean distance traveled to restaurants of all consumers if the error of estimation should be within 100m and the probability of being correct should be 99%?

A sample of n=11 scores has a mean of M=9. If one new person with a score of X=4 is added to the sample, what will be the value of the new mean?

A sample of n = 15 scores has a mean of M = 6.  One person with a score of X = 22 is added to the sample. What is the value for the new sample mean?

A notable indicator of a baby's health is the weight gained in the first year of the baby's life. Assume that the population of all such weight gains for baby boys is approximately normally distributed. A study claimed that the mean of this population is 4.93 kg. As a practicing pediatrician, you want to test this claim. So, you select a random sample of 16 baby boys, and you record the weight each gained in their first year. Follow the steps below to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean of all the weight gains for baby boys in their first year. Then state whether the confidence interval you construct contradicts the study's claim. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample. Sample standard Number of baby boys Sample mean deviation Take Sample 16 5.496 1.873 Enter the values of the sample size, the point estimate of the mean, the sample standard deviation, and the critical value you need for…

A quantitative data set has a size 50. At least how many observations lie within 3standard deviations to either side of the​ mean?

A research scientist wishes to test the claim that the mean number of children per classroom in California elementary school is less than 35. She selects a simple random sample of 29 California elementary school classrooms. She know nothing about the distribution of children in classrooms. Can she use the data to test her claim?

The blue catfish (Ictalurus Furcatus) is the largest species of North Amercian catfish. The current world record stands at 143 pounds, which was caught in the John H. Kerr Reservoir (Bugg's Island Lake) located in Virginia. According to Amercian Expedition, the average weight of a blue catfish is between 20 to 40 pounds. Given that the largest blue catfish ever caught was at the John H. Kerr Reservoir, you believe that the mean weight of the fish in this reservoir is greater than 40 pounds. If you are going to test this claim, what would be your null and alternative hypotheses? Ho: HA: p> v Submit Question

The Michelin tires in average will last for 60000 miles. A technician claims that the deviation of mileage for wearied off tires is 25000 miles. If 16 such tires are tested, find the probability that for those tires the average wearied off mileage is between 55000 and 65000 miles.

The biologist wants to estimate the average age of Coyotes in Tuolumne County. Her estimates from past experience suggest the standard deviation is 1.3 years. How big of a sample should she take to be 95% sure his estimate is off by no more than 3minutes?

Suppose that the average number of miles driven by a student is 15,000 and the standard error is 5000 miles. Find the interval of miles within which 99% of the drivers fall.
