Assume that the population of heights of female college students is approximately normally distributed with mean m of 68 inches and standard deviation s of 2.75 inches.
\n" ); document.write( "A random sample of 16 heights is obtained. Show all work.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Note: The mean of all samples of size 16 is 68
\n" ); document.write( "The std of all samples of size 16 is 2.75/sqrt(16) = 2.75/4
\n" ); document.write( "---------- \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(A) Find the proportion of female college students whose height is greater than 69 inches.
\n" ); document.write( "Note: This is not a sample of size 16 so the std is 2.75.
\n" ); document.write( "z(69)= (69-68)/2.75 = 0.3636
\n" ); document.write( "P(x> 69) = P(z> 0.3636) = 0.3581
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(B) Find the mean and standard error of the distribution
\n" ); document.write( "Note: This seems to refer to the samples of size 16.
\n" ); document.write( "mean = 2.75
\n" ); document.write( "standard error = 2.75/sqrt(16) = 0.6875
\n" ); document.write( "=============================================
\n" ); document.write( "(C) Find P(x >= 69)
\n" ); document.write( "If this refers to the distribution of sample means,
\n" ); document.write( "z(69) = (69-68)/[2.75/sqrt(15)] = 1.4545
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "P(x-bar >= 69) = P(z >= 1.4545) = 0.0729
\n" ); document.write( "=====================================================
