The distribution of scores for the 1,000 final exams in a statistics course has a population mean of 74 and a population standard deviation of 15. A random sample of 36 exam papers is selected. What is the probability that the sample mean is higher than 77? (a) 0.1100 (b) 0.2151 (c) 1131 (d)1151
Homework Answers
P (
= P(
= P( Z >
3/2.5) = P(Z > 1.2 ) = 1 – P(Z < 1.2) = 1 - 0 .88493 =
0.1151
Where Z is a standard normal variable
So the correct answer is option d.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS. THANKS!!

The final exam grade of a statistics class has a skewed distribution with mean of 76 and standard deviation of 7.4. If a random sample of 36 students selected from this class, then what is the probability that the average final exam grade of this sample is between 75 and 80? Answer: (keep 4 decimal places)

The average final exam score for the statistics course is 75%. A professor wants to see if the average final exam score for students who are given colored pens on the first day of class is higher. The final exam scores for the 16 randomly selected students who were given the colored pens are shown below. Assume that the distribution of the population is normal. 82, 73, 89, 67, 89, 74, 98, 68, 73, 65, 97, 77, 74, 76, 73,...

Suppose your statistics instructor gave six examinations during the semester. You received the following exam scores (percent correct): 84, 70, 83, 86, 94, and 77. To compute your final course grade, the instructor decided to randomly select two exam scores, compute their mean, and use this score to determine your final course grade. Compute the population mean. This is your average grade based on all of your grades. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Compute the population standard deviation....

Assume that there are four exams in a course and you think (before taking the exams) that your grade in each of the exams is a normal random variable with mean 74 and standard deviation 20. Assuming that the grades in different exams are independent, calculate the probability that you receive a grade higher than 57 in exactly one of these four exams.

7) A retired statistics professor has recorded final exam results for decades. The mean final exam score for the population of her students is 82.4 with a standard deviation of 6.5 . In the last year, her standard deviation seems to have changed. She bases this on a random sample of 25 students whose final exam scores had a mean of 80 with a standard deviation of 4.2 . Test the professor's claim that the current standard deviation is different...
