A certain population is bimodal. We want to estimate its mean, so we will collect a sample. Which should be true if we use a large sample rather than a small one?
1) The distribution of our sample data will be more clearly bimodal
2) The sampling distribution of the sample means will be approximately normal
3) The variability of the sample means will be smaller
A. 1 only B. 2 & 3 C. 3 only D. 1,2 & 3 E. 2 only
Homework Answers
Here option D is correct answer
I.e. options 1, 2, 3 all are right for large sample rather than a small one

Solocting a distribution for inforences on the population mean Suppose that we want to estimate the number of holding penalties assessed during a college football game. The sample of games we pick has a mean of 3.4 penalties per game and a standard deviation of 0.7 penalties per game. For each of the following sampling scenarios, determine which test statistic is appropriate to use when making inference statements about the population mean. (In the table, Z refers to a variable...

Suppose we want to conduct a hypothesis test relating to the mean of a certain population where the population variance is unknown. To conduct the test, we collect data from a random sample of 27 members of the population. a. Explain why we should use a t-test instead of a z-test in this situation. What is the distribution of the t-statistic in this case? (Recall that the t-statistic is defined as ? = ?̅−? ?/√? ) b. Find the following...

If we are considering a population that is approximately normal and we choose the sample size of n = 3, what is likely true about the shape of the sampling distribution of the sample mean? a)The shape of the sampling distribution of the sample mean is skewed left because the sample size is less than 30. b)The shape of the sampling distribution of the sample mean is skewed right because the sample size is less than 30. c)The shape of...
