Chapter 7: Q 49. (page 464)

The sampling distribution of p^ is approximately Normal because

a. there are at least 7500 Division I college athletes.

b. np=225 and n(1鈭�p)=525 are both at least 10

c. a random sample was chosen.

d. the athletes鈥� responses are quantitative.

e. the sampling distribution of p^ always has this shape.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (b) np=225 and n(1鈭�p)=525 are both at least 110

Step by step solution

01

Given information

p=30%=0.30n=750
02

Calculation

np=750(0.30)=225n(1鈭�p)=750(1鈭�0.30)=525

Because both are at least10 and the sampling distribution of the sample fraction is approximately normal, the normal distribution is satisfied.

Hence, the correct option is (b)

Doing homework A school newspaper article claims that 60%of the students at a large high school completed their assigned homework last week. Assume that this claim is true for the 2000students at the school.

a. Make a bar graph of the population distribution.

b. Imagine one possible SRS of size 100from this population. Sketch a bar graph of the distribution of sample data.

Cholesterol Suppose that the blood cholesterol level of all men aged 20 to 34 follows the Normal distribution with mean 渭=188milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) and standard deviation 蟽=41mg/dl.

a. Choose an SRS of 100 men from this population. Describe the sampling distribution of x-路x炉.

b. Find the probability that x-x炉estimates 渭within 卤3mg/dl. (This is the probability that x-x炉takes a value between 185 and191mg/dl

c. Choose an SRS of 1000 men from this population. Now what is the probability that x- x炉 falls within 卤3mg/dl of 渭? In what sense is the larger sample "better"?

A study of rush-hour traffic in San Francisco counts the number of people in each car entering a freeway at a suburban interchange. Suppose that this count has mean 1.6 and standard deviation 0.75 in the population of all cars that enter at this interchange during rush hour.

a. Without doing any calculations, explain which event is more likely:

  • randomly selecting 1 car entering this interchange during rush hour and finding 2 or more people in the car
  • randomly selecting 35 cars entering this interchange during rush hour and finding an average of 2 or more people in the cars

b. Explain why you cannot use a Normal distribution to calculate the probability of the first event in part (a).

c. Calculate the probability of the second event in part (a).

The candy machine Suppose a large candy machine has 45%orange candies, Use Figures 7.11and7.12(page 434) to help answer the following questions.

(a) Would you be surprised if a sample of 25candies from the machine contained 8orange candies (that's 32%orange)? How about 5orange candies ( 20%orange)? Explain.

(b) Which is more surprising getting a sample of 25candies in which 32%are orange or getting a sample of 50candies in which 32%are orange? Explain.

Dem bones (2.2) Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become brittle due to the loss of minerals. To diagnose osteoporosis, an elaborate apparatus measures bone mineral density (BMD). BMD is usually reported in a standardized form. The standardization is based on a population of healthy young adults. The World Health Organization (WHO) criterion for osteoporosis is a BMD score that is 2.5standard deviations below the mean for young adults. BMD measurements in a population of people similar in age and gender roughly follow a Normal distribution.

a. What percent of healthy young adults have osteoporosis by the WHO criterion?

b. Women aged 70to 79are, of course, not young adults. The mean BMD in this age group is about-2 on the standard scale for young adults. Suppose that the standard deviation is the same as for young adults. What percent of this older population has osteoporosis?
