The manager at UPS feels that the weights of packages shipped recently are less than in he past. Records show that in the past packages have had a population mean weight of 36.7 pounds and a population standard deviation of 14.2 pounds. A random sample of last month's shipping records yielded a sample mean weight of 32.1 pounds for 64 packages. Does this indicate that the weights of packages recently shipped is less than 36.7 pounds? Use a = 0.01. Use the Classical Approach.

Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 233 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 89.9 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 176.34 cm and a standard deviation of 5.47 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme? Since the z score for the tallest man is z= height that was more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.) and the z score for the shortest man is z = the man had the

A group of students in experimental lab are wanting to see if the average psychology major at a university has the same level of psychological knowledge as the general population. They assess 31 psychology majors using an overall psychology assessment and calculate a mean score of 20.91 and a standard deviation of 1.63. They know the general population has a mean score on this test of 18.32. The students think that psychology majors will know more about psychology than the general population. Name the: 1) independent variable 2) scaling for independent variable 3) dependant variable 4) scaling for dependent variable Answer the following questions: 5) can random Selection be used, explain 6) can random assignment be used, explain 7) based on what you know what statistical test should the students use to examine their hypothesis? 8) why is that test most appropriate? 9) what are the assumptions of this test? 10) what is the Null and alternative hypothesis? 11) what is/are the…

If someone scored a 17 when the mean is 19 with a SD of 5, what would their score be if the mean were 100 with a SD of 15?

A golf pro claims that his mean golf score is 63. A sportswriter wants to test the claim that his mean score is higher 63. Would this be a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test?

Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 248 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 59.8 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 177.61 cm and a standard deviation of 7.48 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme? and the z score for the shortest man is z = the man had the height that was more extreme. Since the z score for the tallest man is z = (Round to two decimal places.)

According to the U.S. Census, the average adult woman is the United States is 65 inches tall and the standard deviation is 3 inches.  If Zsike is 67 inches tall, what is her z-score?

Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 225 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 104.3 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 173.55 cm and a standard deviation of 5.15 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme? Since the z score for the tallest man is z= and the z score for the shortest man is z= the V man had the height that was more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.)
