Question
Richard and his 5 best friends want to see how their 100m dash times compare to the other runners in their district. There are records of all 200 other runners' times so Richard can calculate the population standard deviation. Why would a t-test be better than a z-test in this scenario
Select one:
1. The population is <500
2. The sample standard deviation cannot be calculated
3. The sample size is <30

- Determine the range, mean, and standard deviation of the data set. {9,5,9,17,17,16,3,8} Please note that I did submit this question earlier but was unable to recognize the answers so I would appreciate it if it the answers are written clearly. Thank youarrow_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.

The distribution of finishing timefor women was approximately normal with mean 259 minutes and standard deviation 32minutes. The distribution of finishing time for men was approximately normal with mean 242minutes and standard deviation 29 minutes. (a) The finishing time for Clay was 289 minutes. Calculate and interpret the standardized scorefor Clay’s marathon time. Show your work. (b) The finishing time for Kathy was 272 minutes. What proportion of women who ran themarathon had a finishing time less than Kathy’s? Show your work. (c) The standard deviation of finishing time is greater for women than for men.

- I wanted to test if the mean Exam 3 score in this course was different than the mean Exam 2 score. I then did a different test than the previous questions. I instead used the 30 students in my course last semester as my sample for Exam 3, and I used a sample of 25 students from this class as my sample for Exam 2. The sample mean score for Exam 2 was 84.0 with a standard deviation of 2.0, and the sample mean score for Exam 3 was 82.0 with a standard deviation of 1.8. What is the t-value used in the 95% confidence interval for the mean difference between Exam 2 and Exam 3?

She does not know anything about what the population distribution looks like. She took a simple random sample of 31 seventh-grade girls in her school and found the average IQ score in her sample was 105.8 and the standard deviation was 15. Using the sample standard deviation above to estimate the population standard deviation, what is the minimum sample size needed for a 99.5% confidence interval to have a margin of error of no more than 2.3?arrow_forward
