The distribution of the number of motor vehicles per household in the United States (the population) and sampling distributions of the mean for samples of size 4 and 10 are shown in below. A.Which distribution is which? Make a rough estimate of the mean and standard deviation of each distribution. Explain the reasons of your choices.b. The mean of the population is about 1.7. Theoretically, what is the mean of the sampling distribution for samples of size 4? Of size 10? Are these computed means consistent with your estimates of the means in the histograms? Briefly explain.c. The standard deviation of the population is about 1. Theoretically, what is the Standard Error (SE) of the sampling distribution for samples of size 4? Of size 10? Are these computed SEs consistent with your estimates of the SEs in the histograms? Briefly explain.d. Compare the shapes of the three distributions. Are the shapes consistent with the Central Limit Theorem? Briefly explain.
On a nationwide test taken by high school students, the mean score was 51 and the standard deviation was 13. The scores were normally distributed. Complete the following statements. (a) Approximately ? of the students scored between 38 and 64. (b) Approximately 95% of the students scored between and .
The weights of men in a particular age group have mean ? = 186 pounds and standard deviation ? = 20 pounds. (a) For randomly selected samples of n = 4 men, what is the standard deviation, s.d., of the sampling distribution of possible sample means? s.d.(x) = (b) For randomly selected samples of n = 16 men, what is the standard deviation, s.d., of the sampling distribution of possible sample means? s.d.(x) = (c) In general, how does increasing the sample size affect the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of possible sample means? Parts (a) and (b) provide a hint. Increasing the sample size (increses/decreases/doesn't effet)the value of the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean. A fourfold increase in sample size multiplies the standard deviation by a factor of (1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, or 4)

The question is attached below
A dentist wants to estimate the average number of patients coming into her clinic each day. She estimates the standard deviation is 6 patients per day. If she wants to use a random sample of previous days for her sample, how many days should she include to be 95% sure her estimate is off by no more than 0.3 patients per day?
Can someone explain the formulas used in these type of questions and where each number belongs in the formula The average size of a farm in Texas is 185 acres. The average size of a farm in Kansas is 220 acres. Assume that the data were obtained from two samples with standard deviations of 40 and 15 acres, respectively, and a sample size of 10 and 12, respectively. Can it be concluded with a=0.05 that the average size of the farms in the two states is different? Assume that the population is normally distributed.
