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

Side effects Even if an experiment is double-blind, the blinding might be compromised if side effects of the treatments differ. For example, suppose researchers at a skin-care company are comparing their new acne treatment against that of the leading competitor. Fifty subjects are assigned at random to each treatment, and the company鈥檚 researchers will rate the improvement for each of the 100subjects. The researchers aren鈥檛 told which subjects received which treatments, but they know that their new acne treatment causes a slight reddening of the skin. How might this knowledge compromise the blinding? Explain why this is an important consideration in the experiment.

Miami's car colorsUsing a webcam, a traffic analyst selected a random sample of 800cars traveling on I-195in Miami on a weekday morning. Among the 800cars in the sample, 24%were white. The margin of error for this estimate is 3.0percentage points.

a. Would you be surprised if a census revealed that 26%of cars onI-195 in Miami on a weekday morning were white? Explain your answer.

b. Explain how the traffic analyst could decrease the margin of error.

A gardener wants to try different combinations of fertilizer (none, 1cup, 2cups) and mulch (none, wood chips, pine needles, plastic) to determine which combination produces the highest yield for a variety of green beans. He has 60green-bean plants to use in the experiment. If he wants an equal number of plants to be assigned to each treatment, how many plants will be assigned to each treatment?

a. 1

b. 3

c. 4

d. 5

e.12

Reducing unemployment Will cash bonuses speed the return to work of unemployed people? A state department of labor notes that last year 68%of people who filed claims for unemployment insurance found a new job within 15weeks. As an experiment, this year the state offers $500to people filing unemployment claims if they find a job within 15weeks. The percent who do so increases to 77%. What flaw in the design of this experiment makes it impossible to say if the bonus really caused the increase? Explain your answer.

Running red lights An SRS of 880 drivers was asked: 鈥淩ecalling the last

ten traffic lights you drove through, how many of them were red when you entered the

intersections?鈥� Of the 880 respondents, 171 admitted that at least one light had been red.

A practical problem with this survey is that people may not give truthful answers. Explain

the likely direction of the bias.
