Chapter 8: Q.13 (page 478)

A sample of 20heads of lettuce was selected. Assume that the population distribution of head weight is normal. The weight of each head of lettuce was then recorded. The mean weight was 2.2pounds with a standard deviation of 0.1pounds. The population standard deviation is known to be 0.2pounds.

Identify the following:

a. x炉=

b. 蟽=

C. n=

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of

a). x炉=2.2

b).蟽=0.2

c).n=20

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (Part a)

The weight of each head of lettuce was then recorded. The mean weight was 2.2 pounds with a standard deviation of 0.1 pounds. The population standard deviation is known to be 0.2 pounds.

02

Explanation(Part a)

The mean weight was 2.2pounds.

Therefore,x炉=2.2.

03

Given Information (Part b)

The mean weight was 2.2pounds with a standard deviation of 0.1pounds.

04

Explanation (Part b)

The mean weight was 2.2pounds with a standard deviation of 0.1pounds.

Therefore, 蟽=0.2.

05

Given Information (Part c)

A sample of 20 heads of lettuce was selected.

06

Explanation (Part c)

A sample of 20 heads of lettuce was selected.
Therefore,n=20.

The Ice Chalet offers dozens of different beginning iceskating classes. All of the class names are put into a bucket. The 5 P.M., Monday night, ages 8 to 12, beginning ice-skating class was picked. In that class were 64 girls and 16 boys. Suppose that we are interested in the true proportion of girls, ages 8 to 12, in all beginning ice-skating classes at the Ice Chalet. Assume that the children in the selected class are a random sample of the population.

Calculate the following:

a. x = _______

b. n = _______

c. p鈥� = _______

If the Census did another survey, kept the error bound the same, and surveyed only 50 people instead of 200, what would happen to the level of confidence? Why?

Of 1,050 randomly selected adults, 360 identified themselves as manual laborers, 280 identified themselves as non-manual wage earners, 250 identified themselves as midlevel managers, and 160 identified themselves as executives. In the survey, 82% of manual laborers preferred trucks, 62% of non-manual wage earners preferred trucks, 54% of mid-level managers preferred trucks, and 26% of executives preferred trucks

Construct a 95% confidence interval. State the confidence interval, sketch the graph, and calculate the error bound

The data in the Table are the result of a random survey of 39national flags (with replacement between picks) from various countries. We are interested in finding a confidence interval for the true mean number of colors on a national flag. Let X=the number of colors on a national flag.

What is X炉estimating?

The U.S. Census Bureau conducts a study to determine the time needed to complete the short form. The Bureau surveys 200 people. The sample mean is 8.2 minutes. There is a known standard deviation of 2.2 minutes. The population distribution is assumed to be normal.
