You know that a random variable has a normal distribution with standard deviation of 16. After 10 draws, the average is -12. What is the standard error of the average estimate? If the true mean were -11, what is the probability that we could observe a value between -10.5 and -11.5? You know that a random variable has a normal distribution with standard deviation of 25. After 10 draws, the average is -10. a. What is the standard error of...
4. Calculating the standard deviation and the estimated standard error for the sample mean difference Aa Aa A researcher is interested in hamster wheel-running activity during the summer versus the winter. He suspects that either the hamsters will run less during the winter to conserve energy or they will run more to keep warm. He records the activity of n = 16 hamsters during June, July, and August and compares their running-wheel revolutions per hour to the activity of the...
Given a sample mean=13.24; sample standard deviation=3.40; estimated standard error of the mean=0.567; margin of error for 95% confidence interval for estimating the population mean=1.151. What is the upper bound of the 95% confidence interval? (Enter the value with 3 decimal places in the form ##.###)

A population has a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 50. A sample of size 100 will be taken and the sample mean will be used to estimate the a. What is the expected value of x? b. What is the standard deviation of x? c. 18. population mean Show the sampling distribution of x What does the sampling distribution of i show?
In a sample of n= 11 lichen specimens, the researchers found the mean and standard deviation of the amount of the radioactive element, cesium- 137, that was present to be 0.009 and 0.003 microcurie per milliliter, respectively. Suppose the researchers want to increase the sample size in order to estimate the mean μ to within 0.002 microcurie per milliliter of its true value, using a 95% confidence interval. Complete parts a through c. a. What is the confidence level desired...
1. To determine the mean cost of groceries in a certain city with known standard deviation of $2, an identical grocery basket of food is purchased at each store in a random sample of nine stores.
