An ecologist is studying the impact of local polluted waters on the growth of alligators. The length of adult male alligators typically follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 2 feet. The ecologist wants to estimate the mean length of this population of alligators. Suppose she samples n alligators at random and uses the sample mean, X to as an estimator for u. a. What is the bias and variance of the estimator? (Note, these may be a function of n.) b. If n = 4, what is the probability that the estimator is within one foot of the true mean? (I.e. find P(|X – µ| < 1). c. What sample size, n, is required for the estimator to be within one foot of the true mean with 95% probability? (I.e. find the value of n that satisfies P(|X – µ| < 1) = 0.95.) d. Suppose the ecologist ends up sampling n = 9 alligators and calculates a sample mean of ī = 10.4 feet. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. e. Give an interpretation for the interval obtained in (d).

The University of Florida is interested in determining if there is a difference in the amount of money spent on food every two weeks between male and female students. They take a random sample of 20 male students (group 2) and 20 female students (group 1). They also find that xbar2 is 106 with a standard deviation of 14, and xbar1 is 146 with a standard deviation of 39. Do not assume equal variances. Find the test statistic for the difference in the amount of money spent. (Round your answer to one number after the decimal.)
IQs measured on a certain scale are normally distributed with a mean of 90 and a variance of 400. whats the probability that a random person will have an IQ between 120 and 130. the IQ of 51 people was taken, a sample mean of 90 and standard deviation of 64 was obtained. does this support that people tend to have IQs<100? use a 5% level of significance.
