- b) Rachel received the following scores on the midterm and final examinations in his introductory psychology course. The mean and the standard deviation for each test are given below. Assume that the normal distribution provides a good model for the frequency distribution. Section 8. 40 90 |Midterm 50 Final 100 12 i. What percentage of students scored better than Rachel on the midterm? The department has decided that all marks from introductory psychology courses should be reported based on a standardized distribution with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. What would be Rachel's final examination scores based on ii. this new distribution?arrow_forwardA developmental psychologist is interested in studying how long babies gaze at a photograph of a human face. To test this question, she shows a picture to a sample of six babies and records the length of their gaze in seconds. The data are as follows: 12, 17, 18, 20, 20, 29. Calculate the mean, median, mode, range, variance and standard deviation for the sample.arrow_forwardSuppose that 14 children, who were learning to ride two-wheel bikes, were surveyed to determine how long they had to use training wheels. It was revealed that they used them an average of eleven months with a sample standard deviation of two months. Assume that the underlying population distribution is normal. Part (a) (i) Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal. x = (ii) Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal. sx = (iii) Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal. n = (iv) Enter an exact number as an integer, fraction, or decimal. n − 1 = Part (b) Part (c) Part (d) Which distribution should you use for this problem? (Enter your answer in the form z or tdf where df is the degrees of freedom.) Explain your choice. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean length of time using training wheels. (i) State the confidence interval. (Round your answers to two decimal…arrow_forward
- For each day of last year, the number of vehicles passing through a certain intersection was recorded by a city engineer. One objective of this study was to determine the percentage of days that more than 425 vehicles used the intersection. If the mean data was 375 vehicles per day and the standard deviation was 25 vehicles: (c) Suppose the relative frequency distribution for the data is bell-shaped, then what percentage of days between 325 and 425 vehicles used the intersection ?arrow_forwardThe height of women ages 20-29 is normally distributed, with a mean of 64.9 inches. Assume σ=2.4 inches. Are you more likely to randomly select 1 woman with a height less than 66.8 inches or are you more likely to select a sample of 14 women with a mean height less than 66.8 inches? Explain.arrow_forwardUsing the R studio dataset: tsa <- read.csv("https://remiller1450.github.io/data/tsa.csv") From this dataset, take a sample of n = 10 claims. Record the mean Close Amount of this sample. Repeat this 500 times using a for-loop. What is the mean and the standard deviation of these 500 sample means. Draw a histogram (use freq = FALSE option) of these 500 sample means.arrow_forward
- Item 19 Times for a surgical procedure are normally distributed. There are two methods. Method A has a mean of 33 minutes and a standard deviation of 8 minutes, while method B has a mean of 37 minutes and a standard deviation of 4.0 minutes. (a) Which procedure is preferred if the procedure must be completed within 34 minutes? multiple choice 1 Method A Method B Either Method (b) Which procedure is preferred if the procedure must be completed within 45.0 minutes? multiple choice 2 Method A Method B Either Method (c) Which procedure is preferred if the procedure must be completed within 41 minutes? multiple choice 3 Method A Method B Either Methodarrow_forwardAssume the hold time of callers to a cable company is normally distributed with a mean of 4.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.9 minute.
