The IQ scores of children in a city are assumed to follow a normal distribution with unknown mean μ and known variance σ^2. A random sample IQ scores with a size of 25 is drawn by a researcher. Based on this sample, a 97% confidence interval for μ is found to be (91.49,104.51).

(a) Show that σ=15.

(b) Another random sample of IQ scores with a size of 11 drawn and the scores are recorded as follows:

134, 95,102, 99, 91, 111, 127, 99, 101, 113, 105

Based on the combined information of the two samples, test,at the 0.05 significance levels, whether or not the mean IQ score of the children in the city is less than the national average of 105.

a) It is often assumed that IQ scores follow a bell shaped distribution with a mean if 100 and a standard deviation of 16 approximately. Assuming that the distribution is bell shaped, what proportion of individuals will score between 80 and 120? (Report as 0.6834 if the answer is 68.34%) b) If the distribution was NOT bell shaped, then use Chebychev's inequality to determine the proportion of individuals who would have an IQ between 80 and 120. (Report the number...

The score on a proficiency measure is assumed to follow a normal distribution. A switch to better lighting might change the score. A random sample of 30 people taken during the year before the switch to better light yielded a mean score of 600 and a variance of 400. A different random sample of 30 people after the switch had a mean of 610 and a variance of 441. Important: use a degrees of freedom nu=80 for the t statistic....
