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

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

b. Find the probability that x-xestimates within 3mg/dl. (This is the probability that x-xtakes a value between 185 and191mg/dl

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

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a). Normal with mean 118 and standard deviation $4.1$

(b). The required value is53.46%

(c). The required value is97.92%

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) step 1: Given information

Given,

=188=41n=100
02

Part(a) step 2: calculation

Formula used:

x=n

Because the population distribution is normal, so is the sampling distribution of the sample mean x.

x==118

The standard deviation of the sample mean's sampling distribution is

x=n=41100=4110=4.1

As a result, the sample mean's sampling distribution is Normal, with a mean of 118 and a standard deviation of 4.1.

03

Part(b) step 1: Given information

Given,

=188=41n=100

04

Part(b) step 2: Calculation

Formula used:

z=x-zz

Because the population distribution is normal, so is the sampling distribution of the sample mean x.

The z-value is

z=x-zx=x-dn=185-18841/100=-0.73z=x-xI=x-dn=191-18841/100=-0.7

The likelihood of associating using the normal probability P(Z<-0.73)

The standard normal probability is presented in the row beginning with -0.7and the column beginning with .03. The standard normal probability P(Z<0.73)is presented in the row beginning with 0.7 and the column beginning with 0.3.

P(185<X<191)=P(-0.73<Z<0.73)=P(Z<0.73)-P(Z<-0.73)=0.7673-0.2327=0.5346=53.46%

05

Part(c) step 1: Given information

Given,

=188=41n=1000x=185or191
06

Part(c) step 2: Calculation

Because the population distribution is normal, so is the sampling distribution of the sample mean x.

The sample mean of sampling distribution xhas mean and standard deviation n.

The z-score is

z=x-I=x-dn=185-18841/1000=-2.31z=x-nx=x-dn=191-18841/1000=2.31

The likelihood of associating using the normal probability The standard normal probability P(Z<-2.31)is presented in the row beginning with -2.3and the column beginning with 0.01. P(Z<2.31)The standard normal probability is presented in the row beginning with 2.3and the column beginning with 0.01.

P(185<X<191)=P(-2.31<Z<2.31)=P(Z<2.31)-P(Z<-2.31)=0.9806-0.0104=0.9792=97.92%

The large sample is "better" because the probability that the sample mean is within three standard deviations of the population mean is greater, and so our estimations (sample means) of the population mean are more accurate.

A sample of teens A study of the health of teenagers plans to measure the blood cholesterol levels of an SRS of 13to 16year-olds. The researchers will report the mean xfrom their sample as an estimate of the mean cholesterol level in this population. Explain to someone who knows little about statistics what it means to say that xis an unbiased estimator of .

refer to the following graph. Here is a dotplot of the adult literacy rates in 177 countries in a recent year, according to the United Nations. For example, the lowest literacy rate was 23.6 %, in the African country of Burkina Faso. Mali had the next lowest literacy rate at 24.0 %.

The overall shape of this distribution is

a. clearly skewed to the right.

b. clearly skewed to the left.

c. roughly symmetric.

d. uniform.

e. There is no clear shape.

At a traveling carnival, a popular game is called the 鈥淐ash Grab.鈥 In this game, participants step into a sealed booth, a powerful fan turns on, and dollar bills are dropped from the ceiling. A customer has 30 seconds to grab as much cash as possible while the dollar bills swirl around. Over time, the operators of the game have determined that the mean amount grabbed is \(13 with a standard deviation of \)9. They charge \(15 to play the game and expect to have 40 customers at their next carnival.

a. What is the probability that an SRS of 40 customers grab an average of \)15 or more?

b. How much should the operators charge if they want to be 95% certain that the mean amount grabbed by an SRS of 40 customers is less than what they charge to play the game?

Squirrels and their food supply (3.2) Animal species produce more offspring when their supply of food goes up. Some animals appear able to anticipate unusual food abundance. Red squirrels eat seeds from pinecones, a food source that sometimes has very large crops. Researchers collected data on an index of the abundance of pinecones and the average number of offspring per female over 16years.4Computer output from a least-squares 4regression on these data and a residual plot are shown here

a. Is a linear model appropriate for these data? Explain.

b. Give the equation for the least-squares regression line. Define any variables you use.

c. Interpret the values of r2and sin context.
