(b) Suppose the GPA of all students enrolled in a particular course can be modelled by a
certain distribution with a mean of 3.4 and variance 0.3. Compute the probability that the
mean GPA of a random sample of 40 students selected from this course will be:

(i) lower than 3.2


(ii) between 3.3 and 3.6


(c) Suppose you throw a die 600 times. Apply a suitable technique to compute the
approximate probability of obtaining between 90 and 110 fours.

In one of the studies, it was found that, in a random sample of 261 married persons, 135 were smokers while in a sample of 239 non-married persons there were 131 smokers. a. Find a 90% confidence interval for the true difference in proportion of smokers among the married and non-married populations. b. Based on the above interval, can one conclude that there is a significant difference between the proportions of smokers in the two populations? Justify your answer c....

In a random sample of 257 adult Orcas in the wild, there were 159 whose total body length was 28 feet or longer. Create a 98% confidence interval for the population proportion of adult Orcas in the wild who total body length is 28 feet or longer. Enter the lower and upper bounds for the interval in the following boxes, respectively. You may answer using decimals rounded to four places or a percentage rounded to two. Make sure to use...

Ten years ago, a random sample of 257 dog owners was taken and it was found that 146 owned more than one dog. Recently, a random sample of 380 dog owners showed that 200 owned more than one dog. Do these data indicate that the proportion of dog owners owning more than one dog has decreased? Use a 5% level of significance. State the null and alternate hypotheses. Is the test left-tailed, right-tailed, or two- tailed? Identify the appropriate sampling...
