If a normally distributed population has standard deviation (σ) =1, then the
total width of the 95 percent confidence interval for the population mean is:

we can use [μ^−1.96σ^/n−−√,μ^+1.96σ^/n−−√] as a confidence interval for the population

mean, given a sample from the population, where μ^ is the sample mean and σ^ is the
sample SD and n is the size of the sample.

To reduce the standard error of proportion by 50 percent, the sample size is
to be increased by a factor of:

In hypothesis testing, what does the significance level indicate?
(2 Points)

The percentage of sample statistic that is outside certain limits if the hypothesis is
assumed to be correct please check

The percentage of sample statistic that is within certain limits if the hypothesis is
assumed to be correct

The probability of rejecting the alternate hypothesis when it is true as an equality Please
check
The probability of accepting the null hypothesis when it is true as an equality

An X-ray technician is taking readings from her machine to ensure that it
adheres to federal safety guidelines. She knows that the standard deviation
of the amount of radiation emitted by the machines is 150 millirems, but
she wants to take readings until the standard error of the sampling
distribution is no higher than 50 millirems. How many readings should she
take?
