Question
Which of the following statements is true about the t-distribution?
a) For large sample sizes , the t-distribution has the same properties as the normal curve.
b) For small sample sizes, the t-distribution has the same properties as the normal curve. c) Like the Normal distribution , the t-distribution is symmetric for small n.
d) Since population standard deviation is usually unknown, the standard error uses the sample standard deviation to estimate population standard deviation.

- When asked: "What is the distribution of X ? X ~ N(___,___)." This notation is referring to N, a normal distribution, with the mean given in the first space and the standard deviation in the second space. Remember that the standard deviation of the sample means is different from the population standard deviation. The lengths of adult males' hands are normally distributed with mean 190 mm and standard deviation 7 mm. Suppose that 11 individuals are randomly chosen. Round final answers to 4 decimal places. a. What is the distribution of x? x N( b. For the group of 11, find the probability that the average hand length is more than 189. c. Find the first quartile for the average adult male hand length for this sample size. d. For part b), is the assumption that the distribution is normal necessary? Yes Noarrow_forwardThe Office of Student Services at a large western state university maintains information on the study habits of its full-time students. Their studies indicate that the mean amount of time undergraduate students study per week is 20 hours.

What is the standard error of the mean? 1.20 12 .95 2.70arrow_forwardCan a normal approximation be used for a sampling distribution of sample means from a population with u = 55 and o = 10, when n = 4? Answer E Tables E Keypad Keyboard Shortcuts O Yes, because the mean is greater than 30. O Yes, because the sample size is less than 30. O No, because the sample size is less than 30. O No, because the standard deviation is too small.arrow_forward

A test preparation organization teaches small classes of 4 students at a time. A larger organization teaches classes of 64 at a time. Both organizations publish the mean scores of all their classes. A mean score of 167 is SD _____ above the mean for the smaller organization, and ______ SD above the mean for the larger organization. It is more likely that the smaller organization will have that success.arrow_forward
