For a population with a mean of μ= 40 and a standard deviation of σ= 6, find the z-score corresponding to each of the following samples: a. M = 43 for a sample of n =4 b. M = 43 for a sample of n = 16
Hoan N.
Random samples of size $n$ were selected from a normal population with the means and variances. . Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of the sample mean and find its mean and standard error: $$ n=36, \mu=10, \sigma^{2}=9 $$
Sampling Distributions
The Central Limit Theorem and the Sample Mean
A particular normally distributed population has a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 6. For each sample below, do a z test and indicate if it shows a significant result (? = .05, onetailed): (a) sample of N = 10 with = 44 (b) sample of N = 1 with = 48 (c) sample of N = 81 with = 42 (d) sample of N = 16 with = 42?
