Power +, Inc. produces AA batteries used in remote-controlled toy cars. The mean life of these batteries follows the normal probability distribution with a mean of 35 hours. hours and a standard deviation of 5.2 hours. As a part of its quality assurance program, Power +, Inc. tests samples of 9 batteries. a. What can you say about the shape of the distribution of the sample mean? Sample mean Normal b. What is the standard error of the distribution of...
A random sample of size n=68 is taken from a finite population of size N=644 with mean y = 239 and variance o?. 325. [You may find it useful to reference the table.) 8-1. Is it necessary to apply the finite population correction factor? Yes No 0-2. Calculate the expected value and the standard error of the sample mean (Round "expected value to a whole number and standard error to 4 decimal places.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct....
Information from the American Institute of Insurance indicates the mean amount of life insurance per household in the United States is $135,000. This distribution follows the normal distribution with a standard deviation of $42,000. If we select a random sample of 76 households, what is the standard error of the mean? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) What is the expected shape of the distribution of the sample mean? What is the likelihood of selecting a sample with...
Information from the American Institute of Insurance indicates the mean amount of life insurance per household in the United States is $165,000. This distribution follows the normal distribution with a standard deviation of $40,000. If we select a random sample of 50 households, what is the standard error of the mean? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) What is the expected shape of the distribution of the sample mean? What is the likelihood of selecting a sample with...
A random sample of size n = 347 is taken from a population of size N = 7,200 with mean μ =-70 and variance ơ2-151. Use Table 1. a-1. Is it necessary to apply the finite population correction factor? Yes O No a-2. Calculate the expected value and the standard error of the sample mean. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round "standard error" to 2 decimal places.) Expected value Standard error b. What is the...
The mean amount purchased by a typical customer at Churchill's Grocery Store is $23.50, with a standard deviation of $500. Assume the distribution of amounts purchased follows the normal distribution. For a sample of 50 customers, answer the following questions (a) What is the likelihood the sample mean is at least $25.00 decimal places and final answer to 4 decimal places.) Round z value to 2 Probability What is the likelihood the sample mean is greater than $2250 but less...
The mean amount purchased by a typical customer at Churchill's Grocery Store is $23.50, with a standard deviation of $5.00. Assume the distribution of amounts purchased follows the normal distribution. For a sample of 50 customers, answer the following questions. (a)What is the likelihood the sample mean is at least $25.00? (Round z value to 2 decimal places and final answer to 4 decimal places.) Probability (b)What is the likelihood the sample mean is greater than $22.50 but less an...
The weight of people in a small town in Missouri is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 177 pounds and a standard deviation of 28 pounds. On a raft that takes people across the river, a sign states, “Maximum capacity 3,528 pounds or 18 persons.” What is the probability that a random sample of 18 persons will exceed the weight limit of 3,528 pounds? Use Table 1. (Round “z” value to 2 decimal places, and final answer...
In the Department of Education at UR University, student records suggest that the population of students spends an average of 5.60 hours per week playing organized sports. The population's standard deviation is 2.00 hours per week. Based on a sample of 49 students, Healthy Lifestyles Incorporated (HLI) would like to apply the central limit theorem to make various estimates. a. Compute the standard error of the sample mean. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Standard error b....
A random sample of size n = 50 is taken from a population with mean μ = −9.5 and standard deviation σ = 2. [You may find it useful to reference the z table.] a. Calculate the expected value and the standard error for the sampling distribution of the sample mean. (Negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. Round "expected value" to 1 decimal place and "standard deviation" to 4 decimal places.) b. What is the probability that...
