ccording to a study done by a university student, the probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mouth when sneezing is 0.267 . Suppose you sit on a bench in a mall and observe people's habits as they sneeze. (a) What is the probability that among 10 randomly observed individuals exactly 8 do not cover their mouth when sneezing? (b) What is the probability that among 10 randomly observed individuals fewer than 3 do not cover their mouth when sneezing? (c) Would you be surprised if, after observing 10 individuals, fewer than half covered their mouth when sneezing? Why?

1. the probability of type 2 error will be affected by the choice of test statistics. but why???
Please draw the picture to explain and step by step

A clinical trial tests a method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a girl. In the study 532 babies were born, and 266 of them were girls. Use the sample data to construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of girls born.

For the following, Calculate the Probability and Type II errors. Assume an level of significance of α= 0.05 .
•Q1: For testing Ha: u < 62, true population standard deviation= 15, sample size = 64, and we miraculously know that our true population mean is really 60. What is the type II error? Power? Also is our Power up to par (at least 0.8).
•Q2: For testing Ha: u >65, true population standard deviation = 12, sample size = 36, and we miraculously know that our true population mean = 66. What is the type II error? Power? Also is our Power up to par (at least 0.8).
•Q3: For testing Ha: u ≠ 65, true population standard deviation = 12, sample size = 64, and we miraculously know that our true population mean= 65. What is our power? Type II error? Is our power up to par (at least 0.8).
•Helpful Tip: You can also use the youtube videos, labeled mentioned on the previous slide, for help.
Please help me with the Q1,2,3

A probability distribution of all possible sample means for a particular sample size is the _____.
The mean of all possible sample means is __________________ the population mean.
If we decrease the sample size from 20 to 10, the standard error of the mean will ________________.
If a population follows the normal distribution, what is the shape of the distribution of the sample means?
A _____________________ is a single value computed from sample information used to estimate a population parameter.
A ________________________ is a range of values within which the population parameter is likely to occur.
A _____________________ shows the fraction of a sample that has a particular characteristic.
To construct a confidence interval for a mean, the z distribution is used only when the ________________ is known.
What is the appropriate Z score for a 78% confidence interval?
What is the appropriate Z score for a 62% confidence interval?

Given a normal distribution with µ = 47 and σ = 6, what is the probability that:
X < 39 or X > 44
X is between 37 and 46
7% of the values are less than what X value.
Between what two X values (symmetrically distributed around the mean) are 70% of the values?

Four cards are dealt from a deck of 52 cards.
(a) What is the probability that the ace of spades is one of the 4 cards?
(b) Suppose one of the 4 cards is chosen at random and found not to be the ace of spades. What is the probability that none of the 4 cards is the ace of spades?
(c) Suppose the experiment in part (b) is repeated a total of 10 times (replacing the card looked at each time), and the ace of spades is not seen. What is the probability that the ace of spades actually is one of the 4 cards?

As a binomial question: Flip a coin twice. The probability of observing a head is 50%, what is the probability that I observe 1 head? binompdf (n, p, x) so binompdf( 2, .50,1) Sampling Proportion question (8.2): There is a 50% of observing a head. If we flip the coin 100 times, what is that at most 30% of the flips will be heads? n*p*(1-p) =100*.50*.50=25 (Do not use my coin example. Use your own scenario). pˆ=.30 po or μ=50 Image result for sample proportion z formula NormalCDF (-999,.30,.50,.05) raw numbers z=.30−.50.50(1−.50)100√=−.20.05=−4 NormalCDF(-999,-4) standardized that means the mean is 0 and standard deviation is 1.
I need a similar example of this question?
