Over a 100 year time period, the consumption's share of GDP on average in a certain country was 65.24% with a standard deviation of 6.574%. You take a 30 year sample of the data, and find the sample has a share average of 64.21%. Given that the z-score of the 30 year sample average is about -0.157, is the 30 year number considered 'close' to the 100 year number? Answer with at least three complete sentences.
The Z score is Z = xbar -
/(
/√n)
The denominator has sample size n , n increases Z score also increases. So for sample size 30, Z score is smaller than Z score for sample size 100.
So Z score for 30 year number is not close to 100 year number

Suppose that, over a certain period of time, a parent monitors how many texts their 17 year old son sends each day. The average amount of texts sent a day is 42, and the standard deviation is 12 (a) If one day from this time period is randomly selected, and the number of texts for that day is one standard deviation above the population mean, how many texts were sent that day? 54 (whole number) Now, suppose random samples of...

The average income in a certain region in 2013 was $68000 per person per year. Suppose the standard deviation is $33000 and the distribution is right-skewed. Suppose we take a random sample of 100 residents of the region. What is the probability that the sample mean will be more than $3300 away from the population mean?
Suppose that over a certain period, the percent change in the daily adjusted close of the S&P500 can be approximately modeled as a normal random variable with mean 0.04% and standard deviation 0.92%. a) What is the probability that on a randomly selected day the change is between -1.3% and +1.7%? b) On how many of 100 randomly selected days in this period would a change above +2.0% would be expected? c) What is the 85th percentile of this variable?...
2. A random sample of 100 graduates of a certain secretarial school typed an average of 90 words per minute with a sample standard deviation (s) of 10 words per minute. We assume a normal distribution for the number of words typed per minute. (a) (4pts) Find a 95% confidence interval for the average number of words t yped per minute of all graduates of this school. (b) (3pts) Suppose the population standard deviation (o) is exactly 10 words per...
