width of 17 in. Menhave hip breadths that are normallydistributed with a mean of 14.4 in. and a standard deviationof 1.0in. (based on anthropometric survey data from Gordon, Churchill, et al.).
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 greater than 70 beats per minute.
b. If 25 adult females are randomly selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean greater than 70 beats per minute.
c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30?
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.
What is the difference between a standard normal distribution and a non-standard normal distribution?
