Chapter 18 Worksheet #3
Concept Questions: True/False, If the statement is false, then correct
E sealer
1) The larger the sample size, the laeger the spread of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.
TT _2) Provided the sample size is less than 10% of the population size, the spread of the sampling
distribution of the sample proportion wll not be larger than the spread of the parent population.
acd shape anal spread
_E-_ 3) Abiased sampling method will only affect the center‘of the distribution of the sample.
_F 4) Sample statistics are used to make inferences about population Hiaketies. =
_T__5) Statistics calculated from small sample sizes have more variability in the sampling distribution.
_T.6) Parameters are fixed, while statistics vary depending on which sample is chosen.
7) When n is sufficiently large, the sampling distribution of the sample mean is approximately normal
even if the parent population is not normally distributed.
“T__8) The sampling distribution of the sample mean will be normally distributed if the parent population
was normally distributed.
T__9) The sampling distribution of the sample mean of specified sample size of n has standard deviation
of o/yfi even if the parent population was not normally distributed.
10) The sampling distribution of the sample proportion has center 1p, which is equal to the parent
population of p (or x).
E11) Assume 40% of « population support « particular cause, For random samples of n = 100 persons
from this population, the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion supporting the
cause would be (1004040). p 20,UD or YOK
12) Assume 40% of a population support a particular cause. For random samples of n = 100 persons
from this population, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion
would be j(.40)(1-.40)/100,
\“_13) Assume the parent population has a normal distribution with mean 50 and standard deviation of 10.
Based on a sample size of 100, the new sampling distribution of the sample mean would have a mean
of 28€ and standard deviation of 1.
€-_14) assume the parent population has a skewed distribution with mean 50 and standard deviation of 24
Based on a sample size of 64, the new sampling distribution of the sample mean would have a mean
of 50 and a standard deviation of 24. 2. 24-2
3 ior %
15) The standard deviation of the sample mean decreases as the sample size increases, | 16) Assume the parent population has a uniform distribution with standard deviation of 25. For the
sampling distribution of a sample mean to have a standard deviation of 5 it would have to have a
sample size of 3. 25. B.

17) The sampling distribution of the sample mean becomes approximately normal for large sample sizes.
18) The sampling distribution of the sample mean is normal if the observations are normally distributed
(parent population normally distributed).
19) An opinion poll asks a SRS of 1785 adults whether they attended a church or synagogue during the past
week, Suppose that 60% of the adult population didnot attend. What is the probability thatthe ample
proportion of those who did not attend is at least 58%?

21) About 11% of American adults ore black. If a national SRS of 1500 adults contains only 9.2% blacks,
should we suspect that the sampling procedure is somehow under-representing blacks? Hint: Find the
probability that a sample contains no more than 9.2% blacks when the population is 11% black.

22) An elevator ma large office building can safely carry up Ta 5000 pound oF pedple. A Study Shows that
‘the population of elevator riders has a mean of 148 pounds and a standard deviation of 15.2 pounds. If a
sign allows up to 32 passengers and the elevator is filled with 32 randomly selected riders, what is the
probability that the 5000 pound limit would be exceeded?

23) An automatic machine cuts ribbons of hot steel into bars of specified length, The bars have a mean length
of 20 feet with o = 0.4 feet. For a random sample of 60 bars what is the probability that the sample mean
will differ from by more than 0.09 feet?
