Determine which score corresponds to the higher relative position. 14) Which is better: a score of 82 on a test with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 8, or a score of 82 on a test with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 4? A) The first 82 B) The second 82 C) Both scores have the same relative position. Find the percentile for the data value. 15) Data set: 6 9 21 12...
A golf club manufacturer claims that golfers can lower their scores by using the manufacturer's newly designed golf clubs. Eight golfers are randomly selected and each is asked to give his or her most recent score. After using the new clubs for one month, the golfers are asked again to give their most recent score. The scores for each golfer are given in the table below. Is there enough evidence to support the manufacturer's claim? Let d = (golf score...
22. Use standardization ( scores) to determine which has a better relative position: a score of 75 on a statistics test with a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 10 or a score of 36 on an accounting test with a mean of 30 and a variance of 16? A) Z-1.5 and Z - 375 so Statistics has best performance B) Z-1.5 and Z -1.5 both tests so the same performance C) Z-1.5 and ZA - 375 so...
A golfer claims that his average golf score at the course he plays regularly is less than 90. A random sample of 35 rounds of golf was selected and the scores were recorded. Assume that the standard deviation for the population of scores for this golfer is 3.4 and the true population mean for scores for this golfer is 88.2. Using α = 0.05, beta equals ________.A) 0.0694B) 0.0944C) 0.1292D) 0.1895
In a simple random sample of 64 households, the sample mean number of personal computers was 1.17. Assume the population standard deviation is σ = 0.23. 19) Why can we say the sampling distribution of the sample mean number of personal computers is approximately normal? 20) Construct a 98% confidence interval for the mean number of personal computers. Interpret this interval. 21) The population standard deviation for the height of high school basketball players is three inches. If we want...
This year the test scores of all students in a college algebra course is normally distributed with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 10. Only the best 5% of the students will receive an A. What is the minimum score a student must obtain to get an A?
Will improving customer service result in higher stock prices for the companies providing the better service? “When a company’s satisfaction score has improved over the prior year’s results and is above the national average (75.7), studies show its shares have a good chance of outperforming the broad stock market in the long run.” The following satisfaction scores of three companies for the 4th quarters of two previous years were obtained from the American Customer Satisfaction Index. Assume that the scores...
