Scores on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test (IQ) are normally distributed with mean µ = 100 and standard deviation σ = 16.

If a random sample of 49 individuals are selected, calculate the probability that the sample mean IQ is less than 96. (round your answer to the nearest four decimal places)

You are experiencing pressure from administrators to cut the Peer Mentor Program in order to save money. Their argument is that the Academic Success Program alone is enough to help students succeed. After meeting with students and their peer mentors, you feel confident that the Peer Mentor Program provides something that the Academic Success Program does not: a greater feeling of being connected to the campus community. To support your argument, you have the students complete the Connected On Campus Scale at the end of Year 1. You need to compare Groups 1 and 2 on their Connected On Campus Scale (COC) scores at the end of Year 1, to determine whether your argument is true. Select the appropriate test to perform and conduct a two-tailed testusing an alpha of .05. Use r2 for your effect size.

Before every​ flight, a pilot must verify that the total weight of the load aboard their aircraft is less than the maximum allowable load for that type of aircraft. Suppose a commercial aircraft can carry 39 ​passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,513 lb. Suppose the pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are adult men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6,513 lb/39 passengers = 167 lb/passenger. Assuming that weights of adult men are normally distributed with a mean of 179.8 lb and a standard deviation of 37.6 lb, hat is the probability that the aircraft is​ overloaded? Round your answer to three decimal places; add trailing zeros as needed. P(aircraft is​ overloaded) = [OLProb].

The Economic Policy Institute periodically issues reports on wages of entry-level workers. The institute reported that entry-level wages for male college graduates were $21.68 per hour and for female college graduates were $18.80 per hour in 2011. Assume that the standard deviation for male graduates is $2.30, and for female graduates, it is $2.05.

(a) What is the sampling distribution of x for a random sample of 50 male college graduates? If required, round your answer to four decimal places.
(b) What is the sampling distribution of x for a random sample of 50 female college graduates? If required, round your answer to four decimal places

As of Friday morning, health officials have confirmed at least 39,140 total cases in New York State. The estimated population of the state was19.45 million residents in 2019.

1- Construct a 99% confidence interval of the percentage of New Yorkers likely infected and interpret your results. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci says 1/1000 New Yorkers likely infected.

2- Many others claim that the percentage of infected New Yorkers is higher than what Dr. Fauci says. Please, conduct appropriate test of hypothesis to test that claim using a significance level 0.01

An elevator has a placard stating that the maximum capacity is 1610 lblong dash10 passengers.​ So, 10 adult male passengers can have a mean weight of up to 1610 divided by 10 equals 161 pounds. If the elevator is loaded with 10 adult male​ passengers, find the probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 161 lb.​ (Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 171 lb and a standard deviation of 28 lb​.) Does this elevator appear to be​ safe?
