b. it is easy to meet test requirements
c.the sampling distribution, as assumed by the Central Limit Theorem, is normal in shape
d.all of the above

Suppose that you're interested in the mean score, μ, on this subsection among the general population. You decide that you'll use the mean of a random sample of scores on this subsection to estimate μ. What is the minimum sample size needed in order for you to be 90% confident that your estimate is within 3 of μ? Use the value 23 for the population standard deviation of scores on this subsection. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Write your answer as a whole number (and make sure that it is the minimum whole number that satisfies the requirements).arrow_forwardHow is the t distribution different from the Z distribution? a. The t distribution does not have any negative numbers. b. The t distribution is asymmetrical; that is, it is not a mirror image on each side of the population mean. c. The t distribution is wider than the Z distribution due to lower sample size. d. All of the above are differences between the t and Z distributionsarrow_forward
- In a random sample of males, it was found that 29 write with their left hands and 212 do not. In a random sample of females, it was found that 70 write with their left hands and 444 do not. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the rate of left-handedness among males is less than that among females.

We are interested in the population proportion of people who feel the president is doing an acceptable job. NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) Please label each partarrow_forwardA researcher has run an experiment on the effects of early cognitive simulation on children and their school success at age 10 years. He wants to compare his sample results to the normal distribution (z-distribution), but he is not sure whether the population distribution is normal or not. He comes to you as an expert in statistics for advice. Can he do this? Why or why not? What conditions must be met?arrow_forward
- 4. For the following information, determine whether a normal sampling distribution can be used, where p is the population proportion, α is the level of significance, p is the sample proportion, and n is the sample size. If it can be used, test the claim. Claim: p>0.44; α=0.08. Sample statistics: p=0.52, n=350 Question content area bottom Part 1 Let q=1−p and let q=1−p.

Where the population distribution is not normal but the population variance is known. C. Where the population distribution is normal, the population variance is not known and the sample size is below 25. D.
