mean = 40 mins, StD = 5.48 mins
In the previous question, the mean finish time is 2.164 hours and the SD is 0.85 hours. The distribution is skewed right. What are the mean, SD, and shape of the distribution of z-scores?
mean=0, SD=1, skewed right
you take a simple random sample of size 25 from a very large population in which the proportion is p=0.1, this violates the condition that np>10
mean=0.1, the distribution is not approx. normal
The 16th percentile of a normally distributed variable has a value of 25, and the 97.5th percentile has a value of 40. Which of the following is the best estimate of the mean and SD?
mean=30, standard deviation=5
a student investigating study habits asks a simple random sample of 16 students in her (large) high school how many minutes they spent on their english... Which of the following best describes what we know about the sampling distribution of means for the student's sample?
mean=45, sd=3.75, shape of distribution is unknown
the chipmunk population in a certain area is known to have a mean weight of 84 g and a sd of 18 g. a wildlife biologist ... Which of the following best describes what we know about the sampling distribution of means for the biologists sample? [Assume the 9 chipmunks represent a SRS of chipmunks in the area]
mean=84, sd=6, shape of distribution of unknown
