(a) What proportion of the samples will have means greater than 51'! (b) What proportion of the samples will have means less than 42? (c) What is the probability that the sample will have a mean between 42 and 517 2, For a normal population with [i = 150 and o' = 20, (a) What is the probability of obtaining a sample mean greater than 170 for a sample of N = 4 scores? (is) What is the probability of obtaining a sample mean greater than 170 for a sample of N = 16 scores? ((2) For a sample of N = 25 scores, what is the probability that the sample mean will be within 5 points of the population mean? 3. The population of IQ scores forms a normal distribution with a mean of it = 100 and a standgd deviation of a = 15. What is the probability of obtaining a sample mean greater than X = 94, (a) for a random sample of N : 9 people? (b) for a random sample of N = 25 people? 4. At the end of the spring semester, the Dean of Students sent a survey to the entire freshman class. One question asked the students how much weight they had gained or lost since the beginning of the school year. The average was a gain of u = 15 pounds with a standard deviation of a = 8 pounds. The distribution of scores was approximately normal. A sample of N = 16 students is selected and the average weight change is computed for the sample (a) Of all of the possible samples, what proportion will lose weight? (b) What is the probability that the sample mean will be a gain of between 12 and 20 pounds
