Question
Having more than 1000 students in a year, assume that I choose a simple random samples of 30 final exams in my engineering economics class and compute the class average. The results show that 5% of the grades are over 2.1 and 5% are under 1.9. Using this information, determine (i) the population

- Let's consider the annual precipitation levels in Los Angeles county. Suppose the average annual precipitation in LA county is normally distributed with a mean of 15 inches and a standard deviation of 3 inches. We can classify the precipitation levels in the following way: Dry Annual precipitation is more than 1 standard deviation below the mean. Normal Annual precipitation is less than 1 standard deviations below the mean and less than 2 standard deviation above the mean. Humid Annual precipitation is more than 2 standard deviations above the mean. Before answering the following questions it may be helpful to mark on a bell shaped curve where the above regions lie. According to the empirical rule, what is the probability of experiencing a Dry year in Los Angeles?

He has good reason to believe that the mean systolic blood pressure, μ, of CEOs of major corporations is different from 132 mm Hg, which is the value reported in a possibly outdated journal article. He plans to perform a statistical test. He measures the systolic blood pressures of a random sample of CEOs of major corporations and finds the mean of the sample to be 124 mm Hg and the standard deviation of the sample to be 20 mm Hg. Based on this information, complete the parts below. A. H0: H1: B. Suppose that the researcher decides to reject the null hypothesis. Would the research be making a type I or type II error?arrow_forwardI wanted to test if the mean Exam 3 score in this course was different than the mean Exam 2 score. To conduct this test I used the 30 students in my course last semester as my sample. I first calculated the difference in scores between Exam 2 and Exam 3 ("Exam 2 score - Exam 3 score"). The sample mean of these differences is 2.0 and the sample standard deviation of the differences is 3.0. What is your decision for this test? Group of answer choices 1. Reject the null hypothesis 2. Retain the null hypothesisarrow_forward
