Researchers at the University of Nebraska are interested in determining the average number of bigtooth maple trees in a 100-mile radius of historical state landmarks in Nebraska. Before collecting data they consult a statistician in their department and ask them if they can perform a one-sample proportion method for inference on the variable of interest or if they should use some other method. What answer do you think the statistical consultant will give?           Yes, as long as a random sample is taken and the observations are independent. No, since the variable of interest is not categorical. No, since there is more than one population.

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…

A poll in Canada states that 67% of all respondents favor imposing the death penalty. The poll was considered accurate within 4.7 percentage points 95% of the time. How large was the sample size? Round up to the nearest whole number.

A college president says, “99% of the alumni support my firing of Coach Boggs.” You contact an SRS of 200 of the college’s 15,000 living alumni and find that 66 of them support firing the coach.   What population does the inference concern here? Explain clearly what the population proportion p is in this setting. What is the numerical value of the sample proportion ˆp ?

In a recent survey of 157 WMU graduates, 117 students said that parking was too limited on campus. What is the estimate of the population proportion? What is the standard error of this estimate?   Question 7 options:   1)  Estimate of proportion: 0.745, Standard error: 0.0348.   2)  Estimate of proportion: 0.255, Standard error: 0.0028.   3)  Estimate of proportion: 0.745, Standard error: 0.0028.   4)  The true population proportion is needed to calculate this.   5)  Estimate of proportion: 0.255, Standard error: 0.0348.

A magazine invited women to visit their site to complete a surgery and 1500 respondents responses were recorded. When asked whether they would rather have more money or more sleep, 88% responded more money and 12% responded more sleep. How do I answer the questions with this information? 1) identify the variable in this study. 2) is the variable quantitative or qualitative? 3) what is the sample in this study? 4) what is the implied population?

Several studies showed that after eating a low-fat cereal for two meals a day​, subjects had lost some weight.A cereal companyfinanced this research. Identify what is wrong. Choose the correct answer below.     A. Since the research is composed of voluntary response​ samples, there may be key data points missing.   B. The data used in the studies is not reliable because it was not measured by the administrator.   C. It is questionable that the sponsor is a cereal company because this sponsor can be greatly affected by the conclusion.   D. It is not possible to take accurate measurements.

Ms. Lorraine Finch, a fifth grade teacher has a large class of 50 students for the 2018 - 2019 school year. After giving a reading comprehension test, Ms. Finch decided to do a brief statistical analysis. A frequency distribution of the results is presented below. a. Fill in the missing pa rts of Ms. Finch’s frequency distribution. Do any necessary scrap work in the space next to the table. b. Construct a histogram of the frequency distribution.   c Is the distribution of test scores normal? Explain.   Score   Frequency   Relative Frequency 84         2                    0.04 85         5                     0.1 86                                 0.08 87       8                       0.16 88       10                      89        90      5                         0.1 91       4                         0.08 92       3                         0.06
