A random variable is normally distributed. It has a mean of 283 and a standard deviation of 21. If you take a sample of size 14, can you say what the shape of the sampling distribution for the sample mean is? Why? If the sample size is 14, then you can say the sampling distribution of the sample mean is not normally distributed since the sample size is less than 30. O If the sample size is 14, then you can say the sampling distribution of the sample mean is normally distributed since the variable is normally distributed. If the sample size is 14, then you can't say anything about the sampling distribution of the sample mean, since the population of the random variable is not normally distributed and the sample size is less than 30. For a sample of size 14, state the mean of the sample mean and the standard deviation of the sample mean. Round to two decimal places if necessary. Hx= 0x = For a sample of size 14, find the probability that the sample mean is more than 280. P(x > 280) = If…
A simple random sample of size n=10 is obtained from a population that is normally distributed with a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 3. Is the sampling distribution normally distributed? Why? Yes, the sampling distribution is normally distributed because the population is normally distributed. Yes, the sampling distribution is normally distributed because the population mean is greater than 30. No, the sampling distribution is not normally distributed because the population is not normally distributed. No, the sampling distribution is not normally distributed because the sample size is less than 30.
Suppose that 70% of residents in a certain city own at least one pet. You select a random sample of 30 city residents. Let X = the number of residents that own at least one pet. Would it be appropriate to use a normal distribution to model the sampling distribution of X? No, there are at least 10 "successes" expected, but there are not at least 10 "failures" expected. It is not appropriate to use a normal distribution to model the sampling distribution of X. No, the sample size is greater than 10, so it is not appropriate to use a normal distribution to model the sampling distribution of X. Yes, the sample size is at least 30, so it is appropriate to use a normal dist bution to model the sampling distr ution of X. Yes, there are at least 10 "successes" expected and 10 "failures" expected so it is appropriate to use a normal distribution to model the sampling distribution of X. No, there are not at least 10 "successes" expected, although there are at least 10 "failures" expected. It is…
It is known that 75% of all brand A external hard drives work in a satisfactory manner throughout the warranty period (are "successes"). Suppose that n = 15 drives are randomly selected. Let X = the number of successes in the sample. The statistic X/n is the sample proportion (fraction) of successes. What is the sampling distribution of this statistic: X/n and p(X/n) when X=1?
Mrs. Bracken asks a random sample of 500 adults whether they favor giving vouchers to parents of school age children that can be exchanged for education at any public or private school of their choice. Each school would be paid by the government on the basis of how many vouchers it collected. Suppose that 45% of the population favor this idea, (a) What is the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of p, the proportion of adults in samples of size n= 500 who favor giving parents of school-age children these vouchers? (b) Calculate the probability that more than half of the sample are in favor. Show your work.

Suppose Jack and Diane are each attempting to use a simulation to describe the sampling distribution from a population that is skewed right with mean 60 and standard deviation 5. Jack obtains 1000 random samples of size n=5 from the population, finds the mean of the means, and determines the standard deviation of the means. Diane does the same simulation, but obtains 1000 random samples of size n=30 from the population What do you expect the mean of Jack's distribution to be? What do you expect the mean of Diane's distribution to be?
Suppose the above bell curve (normal distribution) represents the voters and their viewpoints (the "height" of the curve represents the number of voters with that particular view) on the highly debated issue for an upcoming election for a member of Congress. The two candidates's (A and B) views on the issue are as indicated; your opinion on the issue is represented by the "green line." Who will you vote for in the election? Why do you prefer that candidate over the other? According to the Median Voter Theory, which candidate will win the election? Why will that candidate win (why will they receive the majority of votes)?
A population distribution has a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 12. (a) What does the central limit theorem say about the sampling distribution of the mean ifsamples of size 50 are drawn from this population? (b) What is the probability that a random sample of 50 has a mean between 38 and 44?
When using the Central Limit Theorem, what is the "magic number" for sample size that allows you to use the C.L.T even if the population is not normally distributed?
