Suppose that in the population, exactly 58% of all adults make a wish when they blow out candles on a birthday cake. If we select many random samples of size n = 100 people from this population, we know the sample proportion who make a wish when blowing out candles on a birthday cake will vary from sample to sample. The sampling distribution of the sample proportion would be Normal in shape and would have a standard deviation equal to what value?
A 0.1000
B 0.0494
C 0.0762
D 0.0024
E 0.5800

Suppose that in the population, exactly 41% of all adults make a wish when they blow out candles on a birthday cake. If we select many random samples of size n = 400 people from this population, we know the sample proportion who make a wish when blowing out candles on a birthday cake will vary from sample to sample. The sampling distribution of the sample proportion would be Normal in shape and would have a standard deviation equal to...
Suppose that in the population, exactly 56% of all households own at least one pet. If we take many simple random samples of 1000 households from this population, the sample proportion who own at least one pet will vary from sample to sample. The sampling distribution of the sample proportion would be close to Normal and would have a center equal to what value? A 0.0157 B 0.0316 C 0.0002 D 0.0056 E 0.5600
Use the population of ages {56, 49, 58, 46} of the four U.S. presidents (Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Kennedy) when they were assassinated in office. Assume that random samples of size n = 2 are selected with replacement. 1. List the 16 different samples. For example, the samples for age 56 would be 56, 56 56, 49 56, 58 56, 46. 2. After listing all 16 samples, find the mean of each sample, then construct a table representing the sampling distribution...
Suppose that you wish to test a claim about a population mean. Which distribution should be used given that the sample is a simple random sample, σ is not known, n = 15 and the population is normally distributed? The z-distribution The t-distribution The Chi-Square Distribution The F-distribution A hypothesis in statistics is a claim or a statement about a sample statistic population parameter legitimate inheritance weather conditions A market researcher selects every 40th student from a group of 500...
Research question: In the population of all American adults, how strong is the relationship between age and reaction time? Data were collected from a representative sample of 500 American adults concerning their ages (in years) and reaction times (in milliseconds). What procedure should be used to estimate the strength of this relationship in the population? CI for single mean CI for single proportion CI for difference in means CI for difference in proportions CI for correlation 2Research question: To what...
According to a Field Poll, 400 out of 506 surveyed California adults feel that “education and our schools” is one of the top issues facing California. We wish to construct a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of California adults who feel that education and the schools are one of the top issues facing California. 1. A point estimate for the true population proportion is: _______________ (Write as a decimal and round to 4 decimal places) 2. The margin...

I just need the answer for E and F, thank you:)
Suppose the lengths of the pregnancies of a certain animal are approximately normally distributed with mean p=123 days and standard deviation = 13 days. Complete parts (a) through (1) below. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 118 days? The probability that a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 118 days is approximately 0.3503). (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Interpret this...
1. Suppose that a survey asks a random sample of 1500 adults in Ohio if they support an increase in the state sales tax. Suppose that 40% of all adults in Ohio support the increase. We independently select 7 adults at random and record their status in supporting the increase. What is the probability that exactly 4 people support the increase in tax? Group of answer choices 0.2419 0.5162 0.1935 0.4838 2. A sample of 24 observations is taken from...
A. Suppose you take a sample of size n from a population and calculate a statistic from that sample. The statistic could be a sample proportion p, a sample mean x, or another statistic. Then suppose we repeat this process over and over again until we find all possible samples of size n from the population (this is a theoretical idea) and we calculate the same statistic from 1. each sample. The collection of all of the statistics calculated is...
