Determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, rewrite it as a true statement. As the size of a sample increases, the mean of the distribution of sample means increases. Choose the correct answer below. A. False. As the size of a sample increases, the mean of the distribution of sample means decreases. C. True. D. False. The mean of a distribution of sample means changes independently of the corresponding sample size.

What is the mean of the standard normal distribution? What is the standard deviation of the standard normal distribution? Choose the correct answer below. A. The mean and standard deviation have the values of \( \mu=0 \) and \( \sigma=1 \). The mean and standard deviation have the values of \( \mu=1 \) and \( \sigma=1 \). The mean and standard deviation have the values of \( \mu=1 \) and \( \sigma=0 \). D. The mean and standard deviation have the values of \( \mu=0 \) and \( \sigma=0 \).

A binomial experiment is given. Decide whether you can use the normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution. If you can, find the mean and standard deviation. If you cannot, explain why. A survey of adults found that \( 69 \% \) have used a multivitamin in the past 12 months. You randomly select 40 adults and ask them if they have used a multivitamin in the past 12 months. Select the correct answer below and, if necessary, fill in the answer boxes within your choice. A. No, because \( \mathrm{np}<5 \). No, because nq <5. C. Yes, the mean is \( \square \) and the standard deviation is (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, rewrite it as a true statement. A sampling distribution of a sample mean is normal only if the population is normal. Choose the correct answer below. A. The statement is false. A sampling distribution of a sample mean is approximately normal if either \( \mathrm{n} \geq 30 \) or the population is normal. B. The statement is false. A sampling distribution of a sample mean is approximately normal only if \( \mathrm{n} \geq 30 \). C. The statement is false. A sampling distribution of a sample mean is never normal. D. The statement is true.

The sample size \( n \), probability of success \( p \), and probability of failure \( q \) are given for a binomial experiment. Decide whether you can use a normal distribution to approximate the distribution of \( x \). \( n=20, p=0.89, q=0.11 \) Can a normal distribution be used to approximate the distribution of \( x \) ? A. No, because \( n q<5 \). B. No, because \( n p<5 \) and \( n q<5 \). C. No, because \( n p<5 \). D. Yes, because \( n p \geq 5 \) and \( n q \geq 5 \).

In a survey of 18 -year-old males, the mean weight was 170.3 pounds with a standard deviation of 46.2 pounds. Assume the distribution can be approximated by a normal distribution. (a) What weight represents the 95th percentile? (b) What weight represents the 32nd percentile? (c) What weight represents the first quartile? (a) \( \square \) pounds (Round to one decimal place as needed.) (b) \( \square \) pounds. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) (c) \( \square \) pounds. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Question 2 Suppose that the distance of fly balls hit to the outfield (in baseball) is normally distributed with a mean of 255 feet and a standard deviation of 57 feet. Use your graphing calculator to answer the following questions. Write your answers in percent form. Round your answers to the nearest tenth of a percent. a) If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled fewer than 222 feet? P(fewer than 222 feet) \( = \) b) If one fly ball is randomly chosen from this distribution, what is the probability that this ball traveled more than 234 feet?

The weights of ice cream cartons are normally distributed with a mean weight of 9 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.4 ounce. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected carton has a weight greater than 9.15 ounces? (b) A sample of 16 cartons is randomly selected. What is the probability that their mean weight is greater than 9.15 ounces? (a) The probability is \( \square \). (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) The probability is \( \square \). (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
