Solution 1

Question 1: False. The sample mean being very different from the population mean does not necessarily mean that the sample should not be analyzed. It could be an outlier or it could indicate a significant finding. It's important to analyze all samples and not disregard them based on their mean alone.

Question 2: The distribution of a random sample of size n drawn from the distribution of a random variable X is normally distributed. So, the answer is A.

Question 3: The Central Limit Theorem tells us that the sampling distribution is normally distributed. So, the answer is B.

Question 4: x̄ represents the sample mean. So, the answer is B.

Question 5: The law of large numbers says that as the sample size gets larger, the sample mean gets closer and closer to the population mean. So, the answer is A.

Solution 2

Question 1: False. Even if the sample mean of one of the samples is very different from the population mean, it does not necessarily mean that this sample should not be analyzed. It could be an outlier or it could indicate a significant finding.

Question 2: The distribution of a random sample of size n drawn from the distribution of a random variable X is normally distributed (A).

Question 3: The Central Limit Theorem tells us that the sampling distribution is normally distributed (B).

Question 4: x̄ represents the sample mean (B).

Question 5: The law of large numbers says that as the sample size gets larger, the sample mean gets closer and closer to the population mean (A).

The distribution is normal regardless of the sample size, as long as the population distribution is normal. The distribution's mean is the same as the population mean.

One of them represents a population distribution. The other two are sampling distributions of x-bar: one for sample size n = 5 and one for sample size n = 40.Based on the histograms, what is the most likely value of the population mean? 290 1 8 5Question 3Select one answer.10 pointsSuppose that a candy company makes a candy bar whose weight is supposed to be 50 grams, but in fact, the weight varies from bar to bar according to a normal distribution with mean μ = 50 grams and standard deviation σ = 2 grams.If the company sells the candy bars in packs of 4 bars, what can we say about the likelihood that the average weight of the bars in a randomly selected pack is 4 or more grams lighter than advertised? There is no way to evaluate this likelihood, since the sample size (n = 4) is too small. There is about a 16% chance of this occurring. There is about a 2.5% chance of this occurring. It is extremely unlikely for this to occur; the probability is very close to 0. There is about a 5% chance of this occurring.Question 4Select one answer.10 pointsWhen the population is not normally distributed, the sampling distribution of the mean approximates which of the following? A distribution that is not normal A slight positive skew A normal distribution given a large enough sample A normal distribution
