Question
Withdrawal symptoms may occur when a person using a painkiller suddenly stops using it. For a special type of painkiller, withdrawal symptoms occur in
4%of the cases. Consider a random sample of 2400 people who have stopped using the painkiller.
Answer the following:
a)Find the
is the proportion of people in the sample who experience withdrawal symptoms.
b) Find the standard deviation of p
c) Compute an approximation for P(p>0.05), which is the probability that more than 5% of those sampled experience withdrawal symptoms. Round your answer to four decimal places.

- Use z scores to compare the given values. Based on sample data, newborn males have weights with a mean of 3234.3 g and a standard deviation of 544.6 g. Newborn females have weights with a mean of 3036.7 g and a standard deviation of 598.7 g. Who has the weight that is more extreme relative to the group from which they came: a male who weighs 1700 g or a female who weighs 1700 g? Since the z score for the male is z=nothing and the z score for the female is z=nothing, the ▼ male female has the weight that is more extreme.

Newborn females have weights with a mean of 3021.3 g and a standard deviation of 680.9 g. Who has the weight that is more extreme relative to the group from which they came: a male who weighs 1500 g or a female who weighs 1500 g? Since the z score for the male is z = and the z score for the female is z = the has the weight that is more extreme.

Based on the study results, we can assume the population mean and standard deviation for the GPA of male students are µ = 3.5 and σ = 0.5. Suppose a random sample of 100 male students is selected and the GPA for each student is calculated. Find the interval that contains 95.44 percent of the sample means for male students.arrow_forward
- a random sample of n = 36 students who registered for Introductory Psychology is placed in the online version of the course. At the end of the semester, all students take the same final exam. The average score for the sample is M = 76. For the general population of students taking the traditional lecture class, the final exam scores form a normal distribution with a mean of u = 71. a. If the final exam scores for the population have a standard deviation of o = 12, does the sample provide enough evidence to conclude that the new online course is significantly different from the tra- ditional class? Use a two-tailed test with a = .05. %3D b. If the population standard deviation is o = 18, is the sample sufficient to demonstrate a significant differ- ence? Again, use a two-tailed test with a = ,05. c. Comparing your answers for parts a and b, explain how the magnitude of the standard deviation influ- ences the outcome of a hypothesis test.arrow_forwardIn a sample of 14 randomly selected high school seniors, the mean score on a standardized test was 1184 and the standard deviation was 162.8. Further research suggests that the population mean score on this test for high school seniors is 1014. Does the t-value for the original sample fall between - to 99 and to 99? Assume that the population of test scores for high school seniors is normally distributed. The t-value of t = fall between to.99 and to.99 because to.99 %3D (Round to two decimal places as needed.)arrow_forwardWhen samples of size 30 are collected from a normal population that has a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 40, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is?arrow_forward
