- A standardized exam's scores are normally distributed. In a recent year, the mean test score was 1544 and the standard deviation was 314.The test scores of four students selected at random are 1940, 1290, 2250,and 1420.Find the z-scores that correspond to each value and determine whether any of the values are unusual.

- The average resting heart rate for a normal adult is around 80 beats per minutes. A randomly selected group of 16 people who live in SF was taken and it was found that their average resting heart rate is 71.3 beats per minute. Assume that the standard deviation of the resting heart rate for any normal adult is 18 beats per minute. Test the claim that the average resting heart rate for people who live in SF is less than 80 beats per minute. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a BPM For credit, the hypothesis test must contain: 1) Claim in terms of the appropriate parameter (e.g. μ = 4.5 m i l e s) 2) Null and alternative hypothesis 3) Sample evidence used 4) Test stat (z or t) , p-value and direction of test. (right, left or two tailed) 5) Whether you rejected or failed to reject the null hypothesis. 6) Conclusion telling us what the test concluded about your original claim.arrow_forwardAssume that the mean height of men in the United States is 70 inches, with a standard deviation of 3 inches.
