Let x represent the dollar amount spent on supermarket impulse buying in a 10-minute (unplanned) shopping interval. Based on a certain article, the mean of the x distribution is about $31 and the estimated standard deviation is about $8. (a) Consider a random sample of n = 70 customers, each of whom has 10 minutes of unplanned shopping time in a supermarket. From the central limit theorem, what can you say about the probability distribution of x, the average amount spent by these customers due to impulse buying? What are the mean and standard deviation of the x distribution? The sampling distribution of x is not normal. The sampling distribution of x is approximately normal with mean μx = 31 and standard error σx = $0.11. The sampling distribution of x is approximately normal with mean μx = 31 and standard error σx = $8. The sampling distribution of x is approximately normal with mean μx = 31 and standard error σx = $0.96. Is it necessary to make any assumption about the x distribution? Explain your answer. It is not necessary to make any assumption about the x distribution because μ is large. It is necessary to assume that x has a large distribution. It is necessary to assume that x has an approximately normal distribution. It is not necessary to make any assumption about the x distribution because n is large. (b) What is the probability that x is between $29 and $33? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) Let us assume that x has a distribution that is approximately normal. What is the probability that x is between $29 and $33? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (d) In part (b), we used x, the average amount spent, computed for 70 customers. In part (c), we used x, the amount spent by only one customer. The answers to parts (b) and (c) are very different. Why would this happen? The standard deviation is smaller for the x distribution than it is for the x distribution. The x distribution is approximately normal while the x distribution is not normal. The sample size is smaller for the x distribution than it is for the x distribution. The mean is larger for the x distribution than it is for the x distribution. The standard deviation is larger for the x distribution than it is for the x distribution. In this example, x is a much more predictable or reliable statistic than x. Consider that almost all marketing strategies and sales pitches are designed for the average customer and not the individual customer. How does the central limit theorem tell us that the average customer is much more predictable than the individual customer? The central limit theorem tells us that small sample sizes have small standard deviations on average. Thus, the average customer is more predictable than the individual customer. The central limit theorem tells us that the standard deviation of the sample mean is much smaller than the population standard deviation. Thus, the average customer is more predictable than the individual customer.

Suppose we wish to generate a sample from the exponential ($\beta$) distribution, and only have access to a computer which generates numbers from the skew logistic distribution. It turns out that if $X$~SkewLogistic ($\beta$), then log(1+exp($-X$)) is exponential ($\beta$). Show that this is true and check by simulation that this transformation is correct.

The table below gives the age and bone density for five randomly selected women. Using this data, consider the equation of the regression line, yˆ=b0+b1xy^=b0+b1x, for predicting a woman's bone density based on her age. Keep in mind, the correlation coefficient may or may not be statistically significant for the data given. Remember, in practice, it would not be appropriate to use the regression line to make a prediction if the correlation coefficient is not statistically significant.

Step 4 of 6:

Substitute the values you found in steps 1 and 2 into the equation for the regression line to find the estimated linear model. According to this model, if the value of the independent variable is increased by one unit, then find the change in the dependent variable yˆy^.

Step 6 of 6:

Find the value of the coefficient of determination. Round your answer to three decimal places.

1. On average, do hospitals in the United States employ fewer than 900 personnel? Use the hospital database as your sample and an alpha of 0.10 to test this figure as the alternative hypothesis. Assume that the number of births and number of employees in the hospitals are normally distributed in the population.
