The heights of a certain population of corn plants follow a distribution with mean 145 cm and standard deviation 22 cm.
(a) Suppose we were to choose a sample of size 16 at random from the population, what would be the mean and standard deviation of the sample average?
(b) Suppose we were to choose a sample of size 16 at random from the population, what would be the distribution of the sample average?
(c) Suppose we were to choose a sample of size 36 at random from the population, what would be the mean and standard deviation of the sample average?
(d) Suppose we were to choose a sample of size 36 at random from the population, what would be the distribution of the sample average?
(e) Answer part (a) and part (b), if you know the height of the population of corn plants follow a normal distribution.
Answer:
Given,
Mean = 145
Standard deviation = 22
a)
To determine the mean and standard deviation of the sample average
Here n = 15
Mean = = = 145
Standard deviation = = /sqrt(n)
substitute values
= 22/sqrt(16)
= 22/4
Standard deviation = 5.5
b)
Here the distribution of the sample average is approximately normal
c)
To determine the mean and standard deviation of the sample average
Here n = 36
Mean = = = 145
Standard deviation = = /sqrt(n)
substitute values
= 22/sqrt(36)
= 22/6
= 3.6666
Standard deviation = 3.67
d)
Here the distribution of the sample average is approximately normal.

Corn plants from a test plot are measured, and the distribution of heights at 10-cm intervals is recorded in the following table: Height (cm) Plants (no.) 100 40 110 60 120 90 130 130 140 200 150 120 160 80 170 50 180 20 Calculate the mean height & Calculate the variance Recall that the mean is calculated as ∑Xin where ∑Xi represents the sum of all individual values in the sample, and n is the number of individual values....
The lengths, in inches, of adult corn snakes have an unknown distribution with a population mean of 61 inches and a population standard deviation of 8 inches. Samples of size n-64 were randomly drawn from the population. Using the Central Limit Theorem for Means, what is the mean for the sample mean distribution?
The heights of 16-year old girls vary according to a normal distribution with a population mean of 158 centimeters (cm) and a population standard deviation of 24 cm. With this information, we can determine that the probability a randomly selected 16-year old girl drawn from the population measures between 150 cm and 160 cm is approximately 0.16. True or False?
The distribution of heights of adult males has a mean of 69 inches and a standard deviation of 4 inches. A random sample of 36 adult males is selected. Describe the sampling distribution. a. Since the sample size is greater than 30, the sampling distribution is approximately normal with a sample mean of 69 inches and a sample standard deviation of 9 inches. b. Since the sample size is greater than 30, the sampling distribution is approximately normal with a...
QUESTION 16 A normally distributed population of adult American men heights has a mean of 57.8 inches and a standard deviation of 4.3 inches. Determine the sample average height at the 1st percentile for samples of size 75. Round to the nearest tenth QUESTION 17 A normally distributed population has a mean of 268 and a standard deviation of 39. Determine the value of the 90th percentile.

The heights of 1000 students are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 174.5 centimeters and a standard deviation of 6.9 centimeters. Suppose 200 random samples of size 25 are drawn from this population and the means recorded to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. Determine (a) the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of X; (b) the number of sample means that fall between 171 and 177 cm.
Please show ALL steps for each part Suppose that, in a certain population, heights of males are normally distributed with mean M1 = 178cm and standard deviation 01 = 4cm while heights of females are normally dis- tributed with M2 = 170cm and 01 = 3cm. Now suppose that a random sample of 25 males and 25 females are selected from the population. a) What is the probability that the average height of the males is greater than 180cm? b)...
Heights of women have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 161 cm and a standard deviation of 5 cm. Using Chebyshev's theorem, what do we know about the percentage of women with heights that are within 2 standard deviations of the mean? What are the minimum and maximum heights that are within 2 standard deviations of the mean? At least ___% of women have heights within 2 standard deviations of 161 cm. (Round to the nearest percent as needed.)
The heights, in inches, of male orangutans have an unknown distribution with mean 51 and standard deviation 4 inches. A sample, with size n=65, is randomly drawn from the population and the values are added together. Using the Central Limit Theorem for Sums, what is the mean for the sample sum distribution?
