Question

Transcribed Image Text:You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question.
Barron's reported that the average number of weeks an individual is unemployed is 16.5 weeks. Assume that for the population of all unemployed individuals the population mean length of unemployment
is 16.5 weeks and that the population standard deviation is 5 weeks. Suppose you would like to select a sample of 50 unemployed individuals for a follow-up study.
(a) Show the sampling distribution of x, the sample mean average for a sample of 50 unemployed individuals.

(b) What is the probability that a simple random sample of 50 unemployed individuals will provide a sample mean within 1 week of the population mean? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(c) What is the probability that a simple random sample of 50 unemployed individuals will provide a sample mean within -week of the population mean? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

One of the samples came from measured weights, whereas the other sample resulted from asking people what they weigh. Identify which distribution came from which sample. Explain how you came to that conclusion. Notice that you can make a conclusion about the nature of the data by simply examining the distributions. Next, construct an “ideal” distribution of last digits x that would result from 100,000 people who were actually weighed. Estimate the mean and standard deviation of the last digits x in the ideal distribution.
