- 25). Would enjoy the help.arrow_forward.Gentle Ben is a Morgan horse at a Colorado dude ranch. Over the past 8 weeks, a veterinarian took the following glucose readings from this horse (in mg/100ml).93 88 83 105 99 110 87 89Let x be a random variable representing glucose readings taken from Gentle Ben. We may assume that x has a normal distribution, and we know from past experience that ? = 12.8 . The mean glucose level for horses should be ? = 86 mg/100 ml. Do these data indicate that Gentle Ben has an overall average glucose level higher than 86? Use ? = 0.05. d. What sampling distribution will you use? Explain the rationale for your choice of sampling distribution.e. Compute the sample test statistic.f. Using Critical region method, find (or estimate) the critical value. Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the critical region.arrow_forward... 14.

- Suppose x has a normal distribution with mean ? = 26 and standard deviation ? = 7.Describe the distribution of x values for sample size n = 4. (Round ?x to two decimal places.) ?x = ?x = Describe the distribution of x values for sample size n = 16. (Round ?x to two decimal places.) ?x = ?x = Describe the distribution of x values for sample size n = 100. (Round ?x to two decimal places.) ?x = ?x = How do the x distributions compare for the various samples sizes? The standard deviations are the same, but the means are decreasing with increasing sample size.The standard deviations are the same, but the means are increasing with increasing sample size. The means are the same, but the standard deviations are decreasing with increasing sample size.The means are the same, but the standard deviations are increasing with increasing sample size.The means and standard deviations are the same regardless of sample size.arrow_forwardAn analysis of variance produces SSbetween = 30, SSwithin = 60, and an F-ratio with dfbetween = 2 and dfwithin 15. For this analysis, what is the F-ratio? a. 30/60 = 0.50 b. 60/30 = 2.00 c. 15/4 = 3.75 d. 4/15 = 0.27arrow_forwardExhibit 11-3 The contents of a sample of 26 cans of apple juice showed a standard deviation of 0.06 ounce. We are interested in testing to determine whether the variance of the population is significantly more than .003. Refer to Exhibit 11-3. The p-value for this test is a) .05 b) greater than .10 c) less than .10 d) 1.96arrow_forward
- Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 238 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 142.4 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 175.45 cm and a standard deviation of 5.59 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme? ... Since the z score for the tallest man is z = 0 and the z score for the shortest man is z = the man had the height that was Im- more extreme. (Round to two decimal places.) shortest tallestarrow_forwardAssume that you have been provided the following information for a sample of cars The covariance between weight and miles per gallon is equal to -4.9 pound-miles. The standard deviation of the cars' mileages is 7.75. The standard deviation of the cars' weights is 0.94. Estimate the correlation coefficient to the first decimal place.arrow_forwardSuppose x has a normal distribution with mean ? = 53 and standard deviation ? = 7.Describe the distribution of x values for sample size n = 4.

- Consider a set of data in which the sample mean is 30.230.2 and the sample standard deviation is 7.87.8. Calculate the z-score given that x=31.4x=31.4. Round your answer to two decimal places.arrow_forwardI. There are two samples with means 15 and 18. Both of those samples consist of 24 observations. Sample standard deviations are equal to 4 in both cases. If you want to test whether the difference between the mean in the first and the mean in the second population is equal to 0, what is your decision at the .01 level?arrow_forwardBhuro.0p0arrow_forward
