The manufacturer of cans of salmon that are supposed to have a net weight of 6 ounces tells you that the net weight is actually a random variable with amean of 5.97 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.1 ounce. Suppose that you draw a random sample of 33 cans. Find the probability that the meanweight of the sample is less than 6.05 ouncesProbability

Assume that the heights of American men are normally distributed with a mean of 69.1 inches and a standard deviation of 3.3 inches. Of the 44 presidents elected from 1789 through 2016, 19 were 6'0" or taller. The proportion of all men that will be taller than 6'0" is 0.18976. If the 44 presidents could be considered a random sample of 44 American men, how many standard deviations above the mean would an observation of 19 out of 44 of the men being 6'0" tall or taller be? (Hint: We can consider the number of men 6'0" tall or taller in a random sample of 44 men to be a binomial random variable where the probability of selecting a man 6'0" tall or taller is the proportion of American men 6'0" tall or taller. Round your answer to two decimal places.) Z = ?
The scores of individual students on the ACT Exam are modeled as normally distributed with a mean of 19.6 and a standard deviation of 5.0. At Clark High, 64 seniors take the test. Assume the individual scores at this school are modeled using the same distribution as national scores. What are the expectation and variance of the sample mean score for this random sample of 64 students?
During a wisdom teeth removal procedure, 1, 2, 3, or 4 wisdom teeth are removed, depending on the patient's needs. Records indicate that nationwide, the mean number of wisdom teeth removed in a procedure is u= 3.50, with a standard deviation of o=1.27. Suppose that we will take a random sample of 6 wisdom teeth removal procedures and record the number of wisdom teeth removed in each procedure. Let ī represent the sample mean of the 6 procedures. Consider the sampling distribution of the sample mean x. Complete the following. Do not round any intermediate computations. Write your answers with two decimal places, rounding if needed. (a) Find (the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean). (the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean). ?
