- Suppose that the average number of Facebook friends users have is normally distributed with a mean of 145 and a standard deviation of about 57. Assume forty-nine individuals are randomly chosen. Answer the following questions. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible. Find the first quartile for the average number of Facebook friends.arrow_forwardThe standard deviation of the change in exercise group was CORRECT.

The average STAAR Mathematics test for the third graders in the district was a mean= 1472. A sample of n= 30 third graders took the new math training prgram before taking the STAAR Math test. The average score for the students was M= 1497. with a standard deviation of s= 145 (note, this is standard deviation, not variance). Was there a significant change in test scores ( use stard devistion of 0.05, two tail test). Calculate the effect size using Cohen's d.arrow_forward
- On a measure of running speed on a 100 meter dash, students received timed scores ranging from 12 seconds to 24 seconds. The distribution of running times is normative with a mean of 16 seconds. Transferring this ratio data to standard scores for comparison with the results of classes from other departments, the mean score is assigned a standard score of 100 with a standard deviation of 10. From this example, a standard score of 99 would mean the actual value in seconds for an individual would be about a. 16 b. 12 c. 19 d. 24arrow_forwardSome college graduates employed full-time work more than 40 hours per week, and some work fewer than 40 hours per week. We suspect that the mean number of hours worked per week by college graduates, µ, is less than 40 hours and wish to do a statistical test. We select a random sample of college graduates employed full-time and find that the mean of the sample is 37 hours and that the standard deviation is 3 hours. Based on this information, answer the questions below. What are the null hypothesis (H,) and the alternative hypothesis (H ,) that should be used for the test?

- In a certain country the heights of adult men are normally distributed with a mean of 70.2 inches and a standard deviation of 2.7 inches. The country's military requires that men have heights between 66 inches and 79 inches. Determine what percentage of this country's men are eligible for the military based on height. The percentage of men that are eligible for the military based on height is nothing%.

You take a random sample of 130 Memphis residents and find that their mean age is 36 years with a standard deviation of 17 years. Can you conclude that the mean age of all Memphis residents has changed from 40 years. For the hypothesis testing scenario above, compute the test statistic. For the hypothesis testing scenario above, you conclude that the mean age of all Memphis residents has changed from 40 years at the 0.05 significance level. Compute the 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean age of all Memphis residents.arrow_forward
