For a population, \(N=205,000, \mu=66\), and \(\sigma=7\). Find the \(z\) value for each of the following for \(n=49 .\) a. \(\bar{x}=68.44\) h. \(\bar{x}=58.75\) c. \(\bar{x}=62.35\) d. \(\bar{x}=71.82\)
What is an estimator? When is an estimator unbiased? Is the sample mean, \(\bar{x}\), an unbiased estimator of \(\mu\) ? Explain.
The delivery times for all food orders at a fast-food restaurant during the lunch hour are normally distributed with a mean of \(7.7\) minutes and a standard deviation of \(2.1\) minutes. I.et \(\bar{x}\) be the mean delivery time for a random sample of 16 orders at this restaurant. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of \(\bar{x}\), and describe the shape of its sampling distribution.
A population of \(N=100,000\) has \(\sigma=40 .\) In cach of the following cases, which formula will you use to calculate \(\sigma_{i}\) and why? Using the appropriate formula, calculate \(\sigma_{i}\) for each of these cases. a. \(n=2500\) b. \(n=7000\)
As mentioned in Exercise \(7.80\), in an observational study at Turner Field in Atlanta, Georgia, \(43 \%\) of the men were observed not washing their hands after going to the bathroom. Assume that the percentage of all U.S. men who do not wash their hands after going to the bathroom is \(43 \%\). Let \(\hat{p}\) be the proportion in a random sample of 110 U.S. men who do not wash their hands after going to the bathroom. Find the probability that the value of \(\hat{p}\) will be a. less than 30 \(\mathrm{h}\), between \(.45\) and \(.50\)
