A researcher belleves that 52% of people who grew up as the only child have an IQ score over 100. However, unknown to the researcher, this figure is actually 50%, which is the same as in the general population. To attempt to find evidence for the claim, the researcher is going to take a random sample of 400 people who grew up as the only child. Let p be the proportion of people in the sample with an IQ score above 100. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of p. (b) Find the standard deviation of p. (c) Compute an approximation for P(p 20.52), which is the probability that there will be 52% or more people with IQ Scores over 100 in the sample. Round your answer to four decimal places. 2022 acer
In the past Algebra classes, records show that the average score of the students in mid-term exam was computed to be equal to 83.5 with a standard deviation of 4.82. If there are 50 students in a particular class, then assuming normality of the distribution, how many of the students are expected to have a mid-term score of 1. a) above 83.5? b) below 70? c) above 90? d) between 75 -85?
The NIH is creating a test for the Zika virus. The incidence of a Zika is low, 11 percent in the general population. There is a trial version, but it sometimes misses the disease. The probability of a false negative is 0.03. Similarly, someone who does not have Zika, will sometimes get a positive reading. The probability of this is 0.1. Fill in the tree diagram and... Answer as a decimal to 4 decimal places.

The Wall Street Journal reported that 33% of taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes between $30000 and $60000 itemized deductions on their federal income tax return. The mean amount of deductions for this population of taxpayers was 17226. Assume that the standard deviation is 2011. a. What is the probability that a sample of taxpayers from this income group who have itemized deductions will show a sample mean within 182 of the population mean for each of the following sample sizes: 30, 50,100, and 400? Round your answers to four decimals. b.A larger sample (increases)the probability that the sample mean will be within a specified distance of the population mean. In this instance, the probability of being within 182(+-) of u ranges from (____)for a sample of size to (____)for a sample of size 400.
