Critical Values. In Exercises 41鈥44, find the indicated critical value. Round results to two decimal places.

z0.10

Short Answer

Expert verified

The critical value forz0.10 is 1.28.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The critical value is indicated asz0.10.

02

Define the critical value zα

The critical value zat a particular value of signifies that is the area to the right of z.

Mathematically,

Pz>z=

In this case, for =0.10,PZ>z0.10=0.10 .

The notation of the critical value is used z0.10to represent the z-score with an area of 0.10 to its right.

03

Find the critical value z0.10

Due to the one-to-one correspondence between the area and probability,

PZ>z0.10=0.101-PZ<z0.10=0.10PZ>z0.10=0.90

In the standard normal table, the value closest to 0.90 is 0.8997, and the corresponding row value 1.2 and the column value 0.08 correspond to the z-score of 1.28.

The value of z0.10=1.28has an area of 0.10 to its right. So, z0.10=1.28corresponds to a cumulative left area of 0.90.

Thus, the critical value is z0.10=1.28.

Curving Test Scores A professor gives a test and the scores are normally distributed with a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 12. She plans to curve the scores.

a. If she curves by adding 15 to each grade, what is the new mean and standard deviation?

b. Is it fair to curve by adding 15 to each grade? Why or why not?

c. If the grades are curved so that grades of B are given to scores above the bottom 70% and below the top 10%, find the numerical limits for a grade of B.

d. Which method of curving the grades is fairer: adding 15 to each original score or using a scheme like the one given in part (c)? Explain.

Small Sample Weights of golden retriever dogs are normally distributed. Samples of weights of golden retriever dogs, each of size n = 15, are randomly collected and the sample means are found. Is it correct to conclude that the sample means cannot be treated as being from a normal distribution because the sample size is too small? Explain.

Body Temperatures Based on the sample results in Data Set 3 鈥淏ody Temperatures鈥 in Appendix B, assume that human body temperatures are normally distributed with a mean of 98.20掳F and a standard deviation of 0.62掳F.

a. According to emedicinehealth.com, a body temperature of 100.4掳F or above is considered to be a fever. What percentage of normal and healthy persons would be considered to have a fever? Does this percentage suggest that a cutoff of 100.4掳F is appropriate?

b. Physicians want to select a minimum temperature for requiring further medical tests. What should that temperature be, if we want only 2.0% of healthy people to exceed it? (Such a result is a false positive, meaning that the test result is positive, but the subject is not really sick.)

Unbiased Estimators Data Set 4 鈥淏irths鈥 in Appendix B includes birth weights of 400 babies. If we compute the values of sample statistics from that sample, which of the following statistics are unbiased estimators of the corresponding population parameters: sample mean; sample median; sample range; sample variance; sample standard deviation; sample proportion?

College Presidents There are about 4200 college presidents in the United States, and they have annual incomes with a distribution that is skewed instead of being normal. Many different samples of 40 college presidents are randomly selected, and the mean annual income is computed for each sample. a. What is the approximate shape of the distribution of the sample means (uniform, normal, skewed, other)?

b. What value do the sample means target? That is, what is the mean of all such sample means?
