The distribution of the scores on a certain exam is N(30,10), which means that the exam scores are Normally distributed with a mean of 30 and standard deviation of 10. a. Sketch the curve and label, on the x-axis, the position of the mean, the mean plus or minus one standard deviation, the mean plus or minus two standard deviations, and the mean plus or minus three standard deviations. b.

Abiologist is studying the effects that applying insecticide to a fruit farm has on the local bat population, She collects 23 bats and finds the mean weight of this sample to be 503.4 grams. Assuming the selected bats are a random sample, she concludes that because the sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the population mean, the mean weight of bats in the population is also 503.4 grams. Explain why this is an incorrect interpretation of an unbiased estimator. ‘Why is this an incorrect interpretation of an unbiased estimator? ‘A. Having an “unbiased” estimator means that none of the sample means will be equal to the population mean. B. Having an “unbiased! estimator means that at least two sample means are the same as the population mean. €. Having an "unbiased" estimator means that the sample mean will not be equal to the population mean. .. Having an “unbiased” estimator means that the mean of the means of all possible samples of the same size would be the same as the population mean. hitps:ihltemprod,pearsonemg.comapi/priavmath 19 12182017 MSL Chapter 9 HW-Stoven Kale 3. The weight of a group of women has a population mean, jt, of 126 pounds and a population standard deviation, «, of 19 pounds. The distribution is right-skewed. Suppose a random sample is taken of 100 of these women’s weights. Complete parts a and b below. a. What value should we expect for the mean weight of this sample of 100 women? Why? ‘A. The expected mean weight is about 127.9 pounds, because the sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the population mean. SB. The expected mean weight is about 126 pounds, because the sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the population mean. €. The expected mean weight is about 127.9 pounds, because the distribution is right-skewed, D. The expected mean weight is about 124.1 pounds, because the sample mean gets smaller with larger sample size. b. The actual sample mean will not be exactly the value determined in part a. The amount it typically differs from this value Is given by the standard error. What Is the standard error for a sample mean taken from this population? ‘The standard error of the sample mean is 1.9 (Type an integer or a decimal.) 4, One histogram shows the distribution of the length of a certain person's cell phone calls for one month, and the other shows many sample means, in which each is the mean length for 19 randomly selected calls from the same person during that month, Which is which?

The distribution of the length of this person's cell phone calls for the month is shown in Histogram A, because this distribution has a larger standard deviation, and is, skewed in one direction. The distribution of many sample means for randomly selected calls from the same person during the month is shown in Histogram B, because this distribution has @ smaller standard deviation, and is approximately Normal, hitps:ihltemprod,pearsonemg.comapi/priavmath 2120 121072017 MSL Chapter 9 HW-Stoven Kale 5.

Arandom sample of students at a college reported what they believed to be their heights in inches, Then the students measured each others’ heights in centimeters, without shoes. The data provided are for the men, with their believed heights converted fram inches to centimeters. Assume that conditions for ttests hold. Complete parts a and b below. ® Click the icon to view the data, a. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference as measured in centimeters. Doe! that show? -apture 0? What does The 95% confidence interval is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) The interval (1) ______ include 0, so a hypothesis that the means are equal (2)_____ be rejected. b. Perform attest to test the hypothesis that the means are not the same. Use a significance level of 0.05, Determine the hypotheses for this test.

Two surfers and statistics students collected data on the number of days on which surfers surfed in the last month for 30 longboard (L) users and 30 shortboard (S) users. Treat these data as though they were from two independent random samples. Test the hypothesis that the mean days surfed for all lnngboarders is larger than the mean days. surfed for all shortboarders (because longboards can go out in many different surfing conditions). Use a level of significance of 0.08.
