True or False: The amount of time it takes to complete an examination has a left skewed distribution with a mean of 65 minutes a

nd a standard deviation of 8 minutes. If 64 students were randomly sampled, the probability that the sample mean of the sampled students exceeds 71 minutes is approximately 0.

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 65, \sigma = 8, n = 64, s = \frac{8}{\sqrt{64}} = 1

If 64 students were randomly sampled, the probability that the sample mean of the sampled students exceeds 71 minutes is approximately 0.

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 71. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{71 - 65}{1}

Z = 6

Z = 6 has a pvalue very close to 1.

1 - 1 = 0.

So approximately 0 probability that the sample mean of the sampled students exceeds 71 minutes.

The answer is true.

Consider a population list x, with a CV= 10%. A second population list, y, has a CV= 20%. The linear regression of y on x is y =
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The correlation coefficient 0.5 depicts that there is moderate positive correlation between y and x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear regression equation is

y= a+bx

The given linear equation is

y= 10x

Here, slope=b=10 and intercept=a=0.

From above equation,

ybar=10xbar

We are given that CVx=0.1 and CVy=0.2

where CV=(standard deviation/mean)*100

We know that

b=r(Sy/Sx)

Multiplying by xbar/ybar on both sides

(xbar/ybar)b=r(Sy/Sx)(xbar/ybar)

(xbar/ybar)b=r[(Sy/ybar)/(Sx/xbar))]

(xbar/ybar)b=r[CVy/CVx]

As CVy/CVx=(Sy/ybar)*100/(Sx/xbar)*100=(Sy/ybar)/(Sx/xbar).

By putting ybar=10xbar, b=10, CVx=0.1 and CVy=0.2.

(xbar/10xbar)10=r(0.2/0.1)

1=r(0.2/0.1)

1=r(2)

r=0.5

There is moderate positive correlation between y and x.
