- There are 120 students at Francis Howell North High School. Mr. Willott conducts a poll that asks 20 randomly selected students how many hours of sleep they got last night. They find that the mean amount of sleep is 6.7 hours. The population standard deviation is o = 2 hours. Can we estimate the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of means by using %3D V20 0.447 hours? O No, because we don't know that the distribution of sleep hours for the population is approximately Nor. O No, because we can't be sure that the central limit theorem applies to this situation. O Yes, because all the conditions for using this formula have been met. O No, because "hours of sleep" is not a continuous variable. O No, because the sample is more than 10% of the population.arrow_forwardUse the Central Limit Theorem to find the mean and standard error of the mean of the sampling distribution. Then sketch a graph of the sampling distribution. The mean price of photo printers on a website is $229 with a standard deviation of $63. Random samples of size 24 are drawn from this population and the mean of each sample is determined.

Suppose the true proportion is 31%. Complete parts a and b. a) We randomly picked 90 students. Let p represent the proportion of students in this sample who wear contacts. What's the appropriate model for the distribution of p? Specify the name of the distribution, the mean, and the standard deviation. Be sure to verify that the conditions are met. The distribution is a distribution. The mean is (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) The standard deviation is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) What assumptions underlie your model? Are the conditions met? O A. The randomization condition, 10% condition, and success/failure condition are met or can be assumed to be correct. O B. The 10% and success/failure conditions are not met. The randomization condition is met or can be assumed to be correct. O C. The success/failure condition is not met.…arrow_forward
- With the diagram pleasearrow_forward4. Suppose that 60% of college students own a smart phone manufactured by Apple. If a random sample of 200 college students is selected, use the normal distribution to approximate the probability that the number of students in the sample owning a smartphone made by Apple will be less than 105. Is it reasonable to use the normal approximation here?arrow_forwardA librarian wants to estimate the average number of book a patron will checkout over a years time. She believes from past studies the standard deviation is20 books per year. If she samples 100 patrons, with what probability can sheassert than the error in her estimate will be less than 5 books per year? (arrow_forward
- The weights of all the turkeys sold in Fairfax County in 2020 were recorded in the data set “Fairfax Turkey Weights” found in the histogram. The weights are presented in pounds. There are 235,428 turkeys in this population. Calculate the probability that, in a random sample of eight turkeys, the mean weight is between 17 and 20 pounds. First, draw a picture with the rounded mean and values labeled and the shaded area representing the desired probability. Next, take a picture of your hand drawn sketch and upload it (if you do not have this technology, you may use any other method (i.e. Microsoft paint) to sketch the image). Then, complete this part by standardizing and using the Standard Normal Table to obtain this probability. Show your work “by hand”.arrow_forwardUse the Central Limit Theorem to find the mean and standard error of the mean of the sampling distribution. Then sketch a graph of the sampling distribution.

- The first experiment I created 200 samples with 10 students in each and took each sample's mean. The mean of this distribution was about 10.7 miles with a standard deviation of 3.7 miles. (See video) Next I did 200 samples with 20 students each, then I did 200 samples with 50 students each and finally I did 200 samples with 100 students each. Watch the following video and answer the following questions about the sampling distributions being created. 1) For the samples with 100 students each, when the sampling is complete, what will the mean be close to or equal to? 2) For the samples with 100 students each, when the sampling is complete, will the standard deviation be smaller than the standard deviation for the samples with 50 students each? 3) What is the mean of the population of students that I am randomly sampling from? 4) What is the name of the important theorem that I am demonstrating right now.?arrow_forwardSuppose you are constructing a CI for a mean using T distribution and your sample size is 33.
