Question
Sleep apnea is a condition involving irregular breathing during sleep. Suppose that 20% of the population of men experience sleep apnea. A random sample of n = 64 men is to be drawn from this population. What is the mean of the sampling distribution for the sample proportion of men who experience sleep apnea?

- A researcher believes that 52.5% of people who grew up as the only child have an IQ score over 100. However, unknown to the researcher, this figure is actually 50%, which is the same as in the general population.To attempt to find evidence for the claim, the researcher is going to take a random sample of 400 people who grew up as the only child. Let p be the proportion of people in the sample with an IQ score above 100. Answer the following: a) Find the mean of p: b)Find the standard deviation of p: c) Compute an approximation for P(p ≥ 0.525), which is the probability that there will be 52.5% or more people with IQ scores over 100 in the sample.

- Let's examine the mean of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 by drawing samples from these values, calculating the mean of each sample, and then considering the sampling distribution of the mean. To do this, suppose you perform an experiment in which you roll an eight-sided die two times (or equivalently, roll two eight-sided dice one time) and calculate the mean of your sample. Remember that your population is the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. The true mean (µ) of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 is , and the true standard deviation (o) is The number of possible different samples (each of size n = 2) is the number of possibilities on the first roll (8) times the number of possibilities on the second roll (also 8), or 8(8) = 64. If you collected all of these possible samples, the mean of your sampling distribution of means (µM) would equal and the standard deviation of your sampling distribution of means (that is, the standard error or ɑm) would be The following chart…arrow_forwardA shareholders' group is lodging a protest against your company.

A survey of 62 companies reported in The Wall Street Journal found a sample mean tenure of 9.3 years for CEOS with a standard deviation of s = 4.4 years (The Wall Street Journal, January 2, 2007). You don't know the population standard deviation but can assume it is normally distributed. You want to formulate and test a hypothesis that can be used to challenge the validity of the claim made by the group, at a significance level of a = 0.05.
