A random sample of 65 high school students has a normal distribution. The sample mean average ACT exam score was 21.4 with a 3.2 sample standard deviation. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean average ACT exam.
Ninety minutes are allowed for students to complete the multiple choice section of a national exam. A random sample of 28 students selected from the students at a large high school took a practice exam, and the time (in minutes) that it took each student to complete the multiple-choice section was recorded. The times are given below. 58 76 74 80 88 74 65 97 66 95 77 63 83 73 64 71 60 68 70 63 71 57 75 ...
final answers using a complete sentence. All probabilities should be represented as appropriately labelled and shaded graphs. 1. Suppose babies born in a large hospital have a mean weight of 3548 grams and a standard deviation of 313. If 62 babies are sampled at random from the hospital, what is the probability that the mean weight of the sample babies would be greater than 3495 grams? 2. In a survey of 700 community college students, 481 indicated that they have...

Suppose a university wishes to estimate the average weight of their undergraduate male students. A random sample of 200 undergraduate male students at this university are sampled. It is found that the sample mean weight is 83.3 kg, with a corresponding 95% confidence interval for mu of (81.3, 85.3). Of the following options, which one is the most appropriate interpretation of that interval? We can be 95% confident that the sample mean weight of the 200 undergraduate male students in...
1. A mathematics professor believes that the performance of students taking an elementary calculus course has declined in recent years. The professor decides to reuse a final exam that was first administered 10 years ago. At that time the mean score was 81 with s=10, for the 50 students in the section taught by that professor When given to the current class of 53 students, who observed essentially the same set of lectures, the mean is 75 with s=15. If...
Suppose that students own an average of 4 pairs of jeans. 8 people from your class were surveyed to determine if the average for students in college is higher than 4. DATA TO USE: 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 7, 12 A) In words, CLEARLY state what your random variable X or P' represents. B) State the distribution to use for the test. If t, include the degrees of freedom. If normal, include the mean and standard deviation. C)...

The weights of the sugar bags are normally distributed. What is the probability that 16 randomly selected packages will have an average weight less than 15.97 ounces? 2. The population of lengths of aluminum-coated steel sheets is normally distributed with a mean of 30.0 inches and a standard deviation of 0.98 inches....
ULA Fiduce IW 9. The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) is a psychological test that measures the motivation, attitude toward school, and study habits of students. Scores range from 0 to 200. A selective private college gives the SSHA to a simple random sample of both male and female first-year students to study the difference in mean attitudes towards school and study habits between men and women. The data for men and women: n 5 Men 20 121.3...
9points) High School and Beyond, Part I. The National Center of Education Statistics conducted a survey of high school seniors, collecting test data on reading, writing, and several other subjects. Here we examine a simple random sample of 200 students from this survey. A histogram of the difference in the reading and writing score of each student is shown below 1. Which set of hypotheses is appropriate for the following research question: is there an significant difference in the average...
