Chapter 4: Q. AP1.6 (page 293)

The figure shows a Normal density curve. Which of the following gives the best estimates for the mean and standard deviation of this Normal distribution?

a. 渭=200,蟽=50

b. 渭=200,蟽=25

c.渭=225,蟽=50

d.渭=225,蟽=25

e.渭=225,蟽=275

Short Answer

Expert verified

Option (c) 渭=225,蟽=50best estimated for the mean and standard deviation of this Normal distribution.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We have been given a Normal density curve.

02

Explanation

The normal distribution's mean is found near the apex of the normal density curve. We see that the horizontal axis peak is roughly at 225, thus we estimate the mean to be around 225.

渭=225

The standard deviation is the distance from an inflection point (point where the curve is roughly a straight line) of the Normal density curve to the mean 渭=225. We note that the inflection point corresponds roughly with 275on the horizontal axis and thus the standard deviation 蟽is the difference between 275and the mean 渭=225

蟽=275-渭=275-225=50

Sleepless nights How much sleep do high school students get on a typical

school night? A counselor designed a survey to find out. To make data collection easier,

the counselor surveyed the first 100students to arrive at school on a particular morning.

These students reported an average of 7.2 hours of sleep on the previous night.

a. What type of sample did the counselor obtain?

b. Explain why this sampling method is biased. Is7.2hours probably greater than or less

than the true average amount of sleep last night for all students at the school? Why?

To investigate if standing up while studying affects performance in an algebra class, a teacher assigns half of the 30students in his class to stand up while studying and assigns the other half to not stand up while studying. To determine who receives which treatment, the teacher identifies the two students who did best on the last exam and randomly assigns one to stand and one to not stand. The teacher does the same for the next two highest-scoring students and continues in this manner until each student is assigned a treatment.

Which of the following best describes this plan?

a. This is an observational study.

b. This is an experiment with blocking.

c. This is a completely randomized experiment.

d. This is a stratified random sample.

e. This is a cluster sample.

How is your room? A hotel has 30floors with 40rooms per floor. The rooms on one side of the hotel face the water, while rooms on the other side face a golf course. There is an extra charge for the rooms with a water view. The hotel manager wants to select 120rooms and survey the registered guest in each of the selected rooms about his or her overall satisfaction with the property.

a. Describe how to obtain a sample of 120rooms using stratified random sampling. Explain your choice of strata and why this method might be preferred to simple random sampling.

b. Describe how to obtain a sample of 120rooms using cluster sampling. Explain your choice of clusters and why this method might be preferred to simple random sampling.
