Why does the standard deviation change when a sample is taken
and questions about the sample mean are asked and why does this
happen in reference to sampling distributions?
A sample of size 81 is taken from a population with unknown mean
and standard deviation 4.5.
In a test of H0: μ = 5 vs. Ha: μ < 5,
if the sample mean was 4, which of the following is true?
(i) We would fail to reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.01.
(ii) We would fail to reject the null hypothesis at α =
0.05.
(iii) We would fail to reject the null hypothesis at α =...
The width of a confidence interval will be:
A) Wider when the sample standard deviation is small than when s
is large
B) Narrower for 95% confidence than 99% confidence
C) Narrower for 95% confidence than 90% confidence
C) Wider for a sample size of 100 for a sample size of 50
Hello experts. does the square of the standard deviation or
average(mean) make a change in the calculation? Please show your

Labels on 3.79 litre cans of paint usually indicate the drying
time and the area that can be covered in one coat. Most brands
indicate that, in one coat, 3.79 L will cover between 23.2 and 46.4
square metre, depending on the texture of the surface to be
painted. One manufacturer claims that 3.79L of its paint will cover...
The formula for a sample Standard
Deviation is
Say we want to use standard
deviation as a way of comparing the amount of spread present in
each of two different distributions.
What is the effect of squaring the deviations? (1

How does this help us when we compare the spreads of two
distributions? (1 mark)
With reference to the formula and the magnitude of data values,
explain why introducing an outlier to a dataset affects the
Standard Deviations more...
A sample standard deviation and sample size are given. Use the
one-standard-deviation χ2-interval procedure to obtain the
specified confidence interval. s = 4, n = 11 , 95% confidence
interval a) 2.795 to 3.51 b) 0.618 to 3.896 c) 2.956 to 6.373 d)
2.795 to 7.02

Perform a Two-tailed hypothesis test for two population
means.
The standard deviation alone does not measure relative
variation. For example, a standard deviation of $1 would be
considered large if it is describing the variability from store to
store in the price of an ice cube tray. On the other hand, a
standard deviation of $1 would be considered small if it is
describing store-to-store variability in the price of a particular
brand of freezer. A quantity designed to give a relative measure of
variability is the coefficient of...
