Recently, the average amount of time to foreclose on a house in the U.S. was reported to be 359 days. Assume that the standard deviation for this population is 90.4 days. Distribution of means of samples of 42 homes that have completed the foreclosure process was studied. Sampling distribution of the mean of the given sample size is ______________________ . Group of answer choices Unknown, Normal, Approximately Normal
Solution :
Given that ,
mean =
= 359
standard deviation =
= 90.4
n = 42
sample distribution of sample mean is ,

=

= 359

The 2010 American Census reported that 72.5% of American adults have not completed a Bachelor's degree (nor do they hold a higher degree). Allowing p = 0.725 to represent the population proportion of American adults who have not completed a Bachelor's degree, we can collect random samples of 40 American adults. Describe the sampling distribution of . A. The sampling distribution is approximately normal with a mean of 0.725 and a standard deviation of 0.0706. B. None of the answers...
Question 19 (8 points) Determine in each of the following situations whether the Central Limit Theorem applies in order to conclude that sampling distribution of the sample mean, that X-NI 7-N (M, ) For each distribution, determine whether CLT applies. If it does not, then enter NA as your answer in the blank number that corresponds to the distribution number. If it does, then enter the shape of the sample means as your first item in a list, the mean...
For each of the following, find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean. State if the sampling distribution is normal, approximately normal, or unknown. a. The population is skewed right with a mean of 4 and a standard deviation of 6. Many samples of size 100 are taken. b. The population is normal with a mean of 61 and a standard deviation of 9. Many samples of size 900 are taken. c. The population...
When the population standard deviation is unknown | Question 10 1 pts If sampling distributions of sample means are examined for samples of size 1, 5, 10. 16 and 50. you will notice that as n increases in size, the shape of the sampling distribution appears more like that of the: O Even distribution O Population distribution O Uniform distribution D Normal distribution 1 pts DQuestion 11 It has long been reported that human body temperature follows a normal distribution...
An article reported that 5% of married couples in the United States are mixed racially or ethnically. Consider the population consisting of all married couples in the United States. (a) A random sample of n = 150 couples will be selected from this population and p̂, the proportion of couples that are mixed racially or ethnically, will be computed. What are the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of p̂? (Round your standard deviation to four decimal places.)...
A particular population, for which the frequency curve is bell-shaped (normal), has a mean of μ=100 and a standard deviation of σ=18. For samples of size n=36 consider the sampling distribution of the sample mean ("xbar"). The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean is __________ . Group of answer choices 36 3 None of the other choices represent a suitable response. 100 18
-/2 POINTS MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER Let x represent the dollar amount spent on supermarket impulse buying in a 10-minute (unplanned) shopping interval. Based on a certain article, the mean of the x distribution is about $42 and the estimated standard deviation is about $7. (a) Consider a random sample of n = 80 customers, each of whom has 10 minutes of unplanned shopping time in a supermarket. From the central limit theorem, what can you say about the...
Question 10 14 pts Suppose X is a random variable with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. Suppose that we select random samples of size n=81 to construct a sampling distribution of means. Then which of the following is NOT true? Given enough samples, the shape of the sampling distribution will be approximately normal The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is 15/9 The mean of the sampling distribution is 100 The mean of any random sample will be 100...
A sample of 10-year-old children found that they receive the following weekly allowances: $6, $1, $2, $10, $4, $3, $9. What is the sample mean? Answer choices: $4, $5, $6, $7 114 out of 150 customers at a bank said that they prefer to use ATMs rather than going to a live teller. What is the sample proportion of bank customers who prefer to use ATMs? Answer choices: 0.68, 0.72, 0.76, 0.80 Which sample size would give the best estimate...
Suppose Diane and Jack are each attempting to use a simulation to describe the sampling distribution from a population that is skewed left with mean 70 and standard deviation 5. Diane obtains 1000 random samples of size n= 4 from the population, finds the mean of the means, and determines the standard deviation of the means. Jack does the same simulation, but obtains 1000 random samples of size n = 40 from the population. Complete parts (a) through (c) below....
