Imagine that we took a large sample of respondents and measured their education. The sample mean =16 years and the sample standard variation = 1.5 : using that information, what percentage of people have more than 20 years of education. Show work.
mean = 16 , s = 1.5
Using central limit theorem,
z =(x - mean)/SE
P(x> 20)
=P(z> (20 -16)/1.5)
= P(z> 2.67)
= 1 - P(z< 2.67)
= 1 - 0.9962
= 0.0038

Imagine that we took a large sample of respondents and measured their education. The sample mean = $35,000 and the sample standard variation = $5000 : using that information, what percentage of people have fewer than 19.5 years of education. Show work.
Imagine that we took a large sample of respondents and measured their education. The sample mean =16 years and the sample standard variation = 1.5 : using that information,what is the 40th percentile of education. Show work.
Please show how to solve using excel. At a large university, the mean age of the students is 22.3 years, and the standard deviation is 4 years. A random sample of 64 students is drawn. What is the probability that the average age of these students is greater than 23 years? In another large university, 25% of the students are over 21 years of age. In a sample of 400 students, what is the probability that more than 110 of...
We have measured the lifetime (in days) of 55 expensive lamps, which led to a sample mean and a standard deviation of 460 and 23, respectively. We have also measured the lifetime of 55 cheap lamps, which led to a sample mean and a standard deviation of 400 and 15, respectively. Carry out a test of hypotheses at significance level of 0.01 to decide whether the true mean of of the lifetime of the cheap lamps is less than 50...
Imagine you want to compare the mean of a sample (Xbar = 10, sample standard deviation = 20, N = 100) to a known population mean (mu = 13, population standard deviation unknown) using the single-sample t-test. What is the value of Cohen's d? 0.15 0.20 0.50 0.80
Grade point averages of math majors at a large distance education university are normally distributed with a mean of 2.85 and a standard deviation of 0.30. If a random sample of 25 math majors is selected from that university, what is the probability that the sample mean grade point average will be a. either less than 2.709 or more than 2.955? b. at least 2.757?
Education influences attitude and lifestyle. Differences in education are a big factor in the "generation gap." Is the younger generation really better educated? Large surveys of people age 65 and older were taken in n - 37 U.S. cities. The sample mean for these cities showed that xı -15.2% of the older adults had attended college. Large surveys of young adults (age 25 - 34) were taken in 12 - 33 U.S. cities. The sample mean for these cities showed...
To estimate the mean score ?μ of those who took the Medical College Admission Test on your campus, you will obtain the scores of an SRS of students. From published information you know that the scores are approximately Normal with standard deviation about 6.2. You want your sample mean ?¯ to estimate ?μ with an error of no more than 1.4 point in either direction. (a) What standard deviation must ?¯ have so that 99.7% of all samples give an...
