- A sample consist of the following N=7 scores:5, 0, 4, 5, 1, 2, and 4. (a) compute the mean and standard deviation for the sample. (b) find the z score for each score in the sample (c) Transform the original sample into a new sample with mean M=50 and s=10arrow_forwardA biologist studies the gestation period of wolves. Past data reveals that such gestation periods have a mean of 65 days with standard deviation 20 days. The normal distribution for the population is shown by the dotted black line. The biologist plans to take a random sample of 15 such wolves and will calculate the mean gestation period of the sample to compare to the known gestation periods. Compute the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means for a sample of size 15. Round your answers to the nearest tenth.arrow_forwardYou take all possible samples of size 100 from a very large population of values. The mean of the population is 550. The standard deviation is 50. You compute the mean of each sample. 95% of the sample means will be greater than__arrow_forward
- How tall? The heights of young men follow a Normal distribution with mean 69.3 inches and standard devia- tion 2.8 inches. The heights of young women follow a Normal distribution with mean 64.5 inches and standard deviation 2.5 inches. Suppose we select inde- pendent SRSs of 16 young men and 9 young women and calculate the sample mean heights XM and xw. What is the shape of the sampling distribution of XM - Xw? Why? Find the mean of the sampling distribution. Show your work. Find the standard deviation of the sampling distribu- tion. Show your work.arrow_forwardFor men heights are normally distributed with a mean of 69 inches and a standard deviation of 2.8 inches. If samples of 25 men are selected at random from the population, would the average height found for each sample be more or less varied than the individual measurements taken for each man?Barrow_forwardAn 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).arrow_forward
- Use 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 $248 with a standard deviation of $65. Random samples of size 25 are drawn from this population and the mean of each sample is determined. The mean of the distribution of sample means is The standard deviation of the distribution of sample means is. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.)

In addition, there is a weight limit of 2,500 pounds. Assume that the average weight of students, faculty, and staff at this college is 155 pounds, that the standard deviation is 29 pounds, and that the distribution of weights of individuals on campus is approximately normal. A random sample of 16 persons from the campus will be selected.
