Household incomes are right-skewed, because most households earn under $150,000 per year, but a minority earn much, much more.•Suppose you wanted to determine what the average household income is in central Illinois. In order to do this, you take a simple random sample of 100 households. According to the Central Limit Theorem, the sample mean follows which of the following distributions?
Normal
Approximately normal
Uniform
Unknown
If household incomes are believed(from prior published studies)to have a standard deviation of $20,000, what is the standard deviation of your estimate for the mean household income?
Household incomes are right-skewed, because most households earn under $150,000 per year, but a minority earn...
. 21 - Calculate the sample mean, the standard deviation of the sample mean, and determine its distribution for varying cases where n is small or large and the population is or is not, normally distributed. Household incomes are right-skewed, because most households earn under $150,000 per year, but a minority earn much, much more. Suppose you wanted to determine what the average household income is in central Illinois. In order to do this, you take a simple random sample...
The distribution of the population of the millions of household incomes in California is skewed to the right. Which of the following best describes what happens to the sampling distribution of the sample mean when the size of a random sample increases from 10 to 100? explain why. ) Its mean gets closer to the population mean, its standard deviation gets closer to the population standard deviation, and its shape gets closer to the population’s shape. b) Its mean gets...
Need help with number 8 and a,b,c please.. 8. Albuquerque's household income is a right-skewed distribution with a mean of approximately $47 thousand and a standard deviation of $23 thousand. (a) Can we use this data to compute what percentage of households make over $70,000? Explain why or why not Lir yes レrri (b) Suppose we take a random sample of 100 households in Albuquerque. What is the mean and standard error of the sampling distribution? (c) What is the...
9. (15.24) The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to a distribution that is approximately Normal with mean 266 days and standard deviation 16 days. The probability that the average pregnancy length for 6 randomly chosen women exceeds 270 days is about a 0.40. b 0.27. c 0.07. 10. (15.12) The gypsy moth is a serious threat to oak and aspen trees. A state agriculture department places traps throughout the state to detect the moths. When...
Page 1 Question 1 Suppose we take repeated random samples of size 20 from a population with a Select all that apply. mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 8. Which of the following statements is 10 points true about the sampling distribution of the sample mean (x)? Check all that apply. A. The distribution is normal regardless of the shape of the population distribution, because the sample size is large enough. B. The distribution will be normal as...
