Chapter 6: Q1 (page 263)

Births There are about 11,000 births each day in the United States, and the proportion of boys born in the United States is 0.512. Assume that each day, 100 births are randomly selected and the proportion of boys is recorded.

a. What do you know about the mean of the sample proportions?

b. What do youknow about the shape of the distribution of the sample proportions?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The mean of the sample proportion should be equal to the population proportion; that is, the mean value should be equal to 0.512.

b. The distribution of the sample proportions should be approximately bell-shaped.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that the population proportion of boys born in the United States is equal to 0.512.

A sample of 100 births is selected each day, and the proportion of boys is recorded.

02

Mean of the sample proportions

a.

It is known that the mean of sample proportions is equal to the population proportion.

Here, the population proportion of boys is equal to 0.512.

The mean of the sample proportions of boys should be approximately equal to 0.512.

03

Shape of the distribution of sample proportions

b.

It is known that the distribution of the sample proportions is approximately normal.

The shape of the normal distribution is a bell shape.

Thus, the distribution of the sample proportions of boys is approximately bell-shaped.

Standard normal distribution, assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Those test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. In each case, Draw a graph, then find the probability of the given bone density test score. If using technology instead of Table A-2, round answers to four decimal places.

Finding Bone Density Scores. In Exercises 37鈥�40 assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Bone density test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. In each case, draw a graph, then find the bone density test score corresponding to the given information. Round results to two decimal places.

If bone density scores in the bottom 2% and the top 2% are used as cutoff points for levels that are too low or too high, find the two readings that are cutoff values.

b. If the height requirements are changed to exclude the tallest 50% of men and the shortest 5% of men, what are the new height requirements?

Standard Normal DistributionIn Exercises 17鈥�36, assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Those test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. In each case, draw a graph, then find the probability of the given bone density test scores.
