‘Sampling Distributions for means practice PLEASE SHOW WORK ON SEPARATE PAPER 4 Suppose that inthe United tates the true mean numberof tacos consumed in a year is 18 tacos per person with a standard deviation of 25 tacos per person. Each person ina random sample of size 30 ‘rom the United States was asked how many tacos they consumed inthe ast Year. a. What is the probability thatthe mean number of tacos per person inthe sample iat most 207 What can you do to increase this probability? “To estimate the sampling dstrbution ofthe sample standard deviation, 100 random samples of size 50 were taken fom a population with a mean of 18 and a standard deviation of 25. This estimated distribution shown below. Sample Standard Deviation Briefly explain the meaning of the phrase “sampling distribution ofthe sample standard deviation" ._ Briefly explain what the dot at 45 represents, Estimate the probability thatthe sample standard deviation willbe at most 20 tacos. 2) Suppose thatthe populaton of residents of acl town has amean annual income of $50,000 and a standard deviation of $35,000. fa random sample of 100 town residents eslected, what ithe probabity that ther sample mean s within $5000 ofthe true mean? ) What will happen to this probability we increase the sample size? 2) Suppose that a random sample of 100 New Paltz residents wes asked about thelr annual income. x= annual income, briefly explain the difference between, 41, and fy 4) The College Board reported the score distribution for ll students who took the [AP STATISTICS exam in 2008: ere are the resus: Grade 5 4 3 z 7 Pereentof [125 Bs we wa [aoa students 2) find the mean and standard deviation of the scores 5) fa random sampleof 40 students were selected would you expect their scores to follow a normal model?
