Tall girls Refer to Exercise 10.

(a) Make a graph of the population distribution.

(b) Sketch a possible graph of the distribution of sample data for the SRS of size 20 taken by the AP Statistics class.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a). A graph of the population distribution is

b). A possible graph of the distribution of sample data is

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information 

Tall girls:

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation 

The population distribution is given to be N(64,2.5), which means a normal distribution with mean 64and standard deviation 2.5.

μ=64

σ=2.5

A general normal distribution with mean μ and standard deviation σis of the form:

03

Part (a) Step 3: Explanation 

The graph of the population distribution is

04

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information 

Tall girls:

20individuals are in the sample

We also know that approximately

μ=64

σ=2.5

05

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation 

The width of all bars should be equal and the height should be equal to the number of students.

The bars should be roughly centered about 64and the range of values should be within 2standard deviations of the mean.

06

Part (b) Step 3: Explanation

Dot plot:

Draw a number line and place dots above the corresponding numbers which should be centered at about 64and the range of values should be within 2standard deviations of the mean.

Bias and variability The figure below shows his programs of four sampling distributions of different statistics intended to estimate the same parameter.

(a) Which statistics are unbiased estimators? Justify your answer. (b) Which statistic does the best job of estimating the parameter? Explain.

According to government data, 22%American children under the age of six live in households with incomes less than the official poverty level. A study of learning in early childhood chooses an SRS of 300children. Find the probability that more than 20%of the sample is from poverty households. Be sure to check that you can use the Normal approximation.

A study of voting chose 663registered voters at random shortly after an election. Of these, 72%said they had voted in the election. Election records show that only56% of registered voters voted in the election. Which of the following statements is true about the boldface numbers?

(a)72%is a sample; 56%is a population.

(b) 72%and56% are both statistics.

(c)72%is a statistic and 56%is a parameter.

(d) 72%is a parameter and 56%is a statistic.

(e) 72%and56% are both parameters.

You work for an advertising agency that is preparing a new television commercial to appeal to women. You have been asked to design an experiment to compare the effectiveness of three versions of the commercial. Each subject will be shown one of the three versions and then asked about her attitude toward the product. You think there may be large differences between women who are employed and those who are not. Because of these differences, you should use

(a) a block design, but not a matched pairs design

(b) a completely randomized design.

(c) a matched pairs design.

(d) a simple random sample.

(e) a stratified random sample.

The five-number summary for a data set is given by Min=5, Q1=18, M=20, Q3=40, Max=75.
