- A medical statistician wants to estimate the average weight loss of people who are on a new diet plan. In a preliminary study, he guesses that the standard deviation of the population of weight loss is about 12 pounds. How large a sample should he take to estimate the mean weight loss to within 3 pounds, with 93% confidence?

You standardize the distribution so that the new mean and standard deviation are u = 50 and o = 5 If someone takes the exam and receives a score of 73 (before the score is transformed), what will this score be once it is transformed for the new (standardized) distribution?arrow_forwardIn a population distribution a score of x equals 28 corresponds to z equals -1.00 and a score of x - 34 corresponds to z equals - 0.50 find the mean and standard deviation for the populationarrow_forward
