1. Find each of the requested values for a population with a mean of ?=40, and a standard deviation of ?=8 A. What is the z-score corresponding to X=52? B. What is the X value corresponding to z=0.50? C. If all of the scores in the population are transformed into z-scores, what will be the values for the mean and standard deviation for the complete set of z-scores? D. What is the z-score corresponding to a sample mean of M=42 for a sample of n=4 scores? E. What is the z-scores corresponding to a sample mean of M=42 for a sample of n=6 scores? 2. True or false: a. All normal distributions are symmetrical b. All normal distributions have a mean of 1.0 c. All normal distributions have a standard deviation of 1.0 d. The total area under the curve of all normal distributions is equal to 1 3. Interpret the location, direction, and distance (near or far) of the following zscores: a.2.00b.1.25c.3.50d.0.34 4. You are part of a trivia team and have tracked your team’s performance since you started playing, so you know that your scores are normally distributed with μ=78 and σ=12. Recently, a new person joined the team, and you think the scores have gotten better. Use hypothesis testing to see if the average score has improved based on the following 8 weeks’ worth of score data: 82,74,62,68,79,94,90,81,80. 5. You get hired as a server at a local restaurant, and the manager tells you that servers’ tips are $42 on average but vary about $12(μ=42,σ=12). You decide to track your tips to see if you make a different amount, but because this is your first job as a server, you don’t know if you will make more or less in tips. After working 16 shifts, you find that your average nightly amount is $44.50 from tips. Test for a difference between this value and the population mean at the α=0.05 level of significance.

A random sample of n1=16 communities in western Kansas gave the following information for people under 25 years of age.
X1: Rate of hay fever per 1000 population for people under 25

A random sample of n2=14 regions in western Kansas gave the following information for people over 50 years old.
X2: Rate of hay fever per 1000 population for people over 50

(i) Use a calculator to calculate x1,s1,x2,ands2. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
(ii) Assume that the hay fever rate in each age group has an approximately normal distribution. Do the data indicate that the age group over 50 has a lower rate of hay fever? Use α=0.05.
(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses.
H0:μ1=μ2,H1:μ1<μ2
H0:μ1=μ2,H1:μ1>μ2
H0:μ1=μ2,H1:μ1μ2
H0:μ1>μ2,H1:μ1=μ12
(b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making?
The standard normal. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with known standard deviations.
The Student's t. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with unknown standard deviations,
The standard normal. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with unknown standard deviations,

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference μ1μ2. Round your answer to three decimalplaces.)

What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Test the difference μ1μ2. Round your answer to three decimal places.)
(c) Find (or estimate) the P-value.
P-value >0.250

Statistics and probability also include various data modeling questions, which can be encountered basically everywhere from Social Sciences and Biology to Engineering and Data Science. Depending on your questions, you can receive immediate help by looking through the data modeling examples that we have presented below for you. These will help you to find solutions and find the answers to presented challenges. It is recommended to model your data carefully and to check things twice to ensure that everything is correct because accuracy is the key to any statistical work where a calculation is involved.
