Chapter 6: Q5 (page 261)

Notation

a. Identify the values of 渭 and 蟽 for the standard normal distribution.

b. What do the symbols 渭x炉 and 蟽x炉represent?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The symbols 渭and蟽 represent the mean and standard deviation of population values respectively. Thus, 渭=0,and蟽=1for standard normal distribution.
  1. The symbols 渭x炉,蟽x炉represent the mean and standard deviation of all the sample mean values of a specific sample size respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Certain notations are mentioned.

02

Describe the random variable for population

a.

Let X be the random variable for population of all observations, which follows standard normal distribution.

The mean of the population is represented by 渭. For standard normal distribution, mean is known to be 0.

The standard deviation of the population is represented by 蟽. For standard normal distribution, standard deviation is known to be 1.

Thus, X~N渭=0,蟽=1.

03

Describe the random variable for samples

b.

Let be the random variable for sample means of different equally sized samples taken from population.

The mean of the sample mean distribution is 渭x炉.

The standard deviation of sample mean distribution is 蟽x炉.

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. If using technology instead of Table A-2, round answers

to four decimal places.

Between 1.50 and 2.50.

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

In Exercises 13鈥�20, use the data in the table below for sitting adult males and females (based on anthropometric survey data from Gordon, Churchill, et al.). These data are used often in the design of different seats, including aircraft seats, train seats, theatre seats, and classroom seats. (Hint: Draw a graph in each case.)

Random Digits Computers are commonly used to randomly generate digits of telephone numbers to be called when conducting a survey. Can the methods of this section be used to find the probability that when one digit is randomly generated, it is less than 3? Why or why not? What is the probability of getting a digit less than 3?

SAT and ACT Tests Because they enable efficient procedures for evaluating answers, multiple choice questions are commonly used on standardized tests, such as the SAT or ACT.

Such questions typically have five choices, one of which is correct. Assume that you must make random guesses for two such questions. Assume that both questions have correct answers of 鈥渁.鈥�

a. After listing the 25 different possible samples, find the proportion of correct answers in each sample, then construct a table that describes the sampling distribution of the sample proportions of correct responses.

b. Find the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion.

c. Is the mean of the sampling distribution [from part (b)] equal to the population proportion of correct responses? Does the mean of the sampling distribution of proportions always equal the population proportion?
