Chapter 6: Q3 (page 272)

Notation In general, what do the symbols 渭x炉 and 蟽x炉 represent? What are the values of 渭x炉and 蟽x炉for samples of size 64 randomly selected from the population of IQ scores with population mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Symbols:

渭x炉represents the mean value of all sample means.

蟽x炉represents the standard deviation of all the sample means.

For the given values of sample size and population parameters, the values of 渭x炉 and 蟽x炉 are as follows:

  • 渭x炉=100
  • 蟽x炉=1.875

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that 64 random samples have been considered from the population of IQ scores with a population mean equal to 100 and population standard deviation equal to 15.

02

Notations

The symbol 渭x炉denotes the mean value of all sample means.

The symbol 蟽x炉denotes the standard deviation of all the sample means.

Here, the value of the population mean is equal to:渭=100

The value of the population standard deviation is equal to: 蟽=15

The sample size (n) is equal to 64.

The values of 渭x炉 and 蟽x炉are computed below:

渭x炉=渭=100

蟽x炉=蟽n=1564=1.875

Therefore, the value of 渭x炉 is equal to 100 and the value of 蟽x炉 is equal to 1.875.

If Designing Manholes According to the website www.torchmate.com, 鈥渕anhole covers must be a minimum of 22 in. in diameter, but can be as much as 60 in. in diameter.鈥� Assume that a manhole is constructed to have a circular opening with a diameter of 22 in. Men have shoulder breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 18.2 in. and a standard deviationof 1.0 in. (based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey).

  1. What percentage of men will fit into the manhole?
  2. Assume that the Connecticut鈥檚 Eversource company employs 36 men who work in manholes. If 36 men are randomly selected, what is the probability that their mean shoulder breadth is less than 18.5 in.? Does this result suggest that money can be saved by making smaller manholes with a diameter of 18.5 in.? Why or why not?

Using the Central Limit Theorem. In Exercises 5鈥�8, assume that females have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of 74.0 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 12.5 beats per minute (based on Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥� in Appendix B).

a. If 1 adult female is randomly selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is between 78 beats per minute and 90 beats per minute.

b. If 16 adult females are randomly selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean between 78 beats per minute and 90 beats per minute.

c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30?

Example 2 referred to an elevator with a maximum capacity of 4000 lb. When rating elevators, it is common to use a 25% safety factor, so the elevator should actuallybe able to carry a load that is 25% greater than the stated limit. The maximum capacity of 4000 lb becomes 5000 lb after it is increased by 25%, so 27 adult male passengers can have a mean weight of up to 185 lb. If the elevator is loaded with 27 adult male passengers, find the probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 185 lb. (As in Example 2, assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 189 lb and a standard deviation of 39 lb.) Does this elevator appear to be safe?

In Exercises 21鈥�24, use these parameters (based on Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥� in Appendix B):鈥⑩�侻en鈥檚鈥俬eights鈥俛re鈥俷ormally鈥俤istributed鈥倃ith鈥俶ean鈥�68.6鈥俰n.鈥俛nd鈥俿tandard鈥俤eviation鈥�2.8鈥俰n.鈥⑩�俉omen鈥檚 heights are normally distributed with mean 63.7 in. and standard deviation 2.9 in.Mickey Mouse Disney World requires that people employed as a Mickey Mouse character must have a height between 56 in. and 62 in.

a. Find the percentage of men meeting the height requirement. What does the result suggest about the genders of the people who are employed as Mickey Mouse characters?

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?

Bone Density Test. In Exercises 1鈥�4, assume that scores on a bone mineral density test are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

Bone Density For a randomly selected subject, find the probability of a score greater than -2.93.
