If numerous samples of N = 15 are taken from a uniform distribution and a

relative frequency distribution of the means is drawn, what would be the shape of

the frequency distribution?

8. A normal distribution has a mean of 20 and a standard deviation of 10. Two

scores are sampled randomly from the distribution and the second score is

subtracted from the first. What is the probability that the difference score will be

greater than 5? Hint: Read the Variance Sum Law section of Chapter 3.

9. What is the shape of the sampling distribution of r? In what way does the shape

depend on the size of the population correlation?

10. If you sample one number from a standard normal distribution, what is the

probability it will be 0.5?

11. A variable is normally distributed with a mean of 120 and a standard deviation

of 5. Four scores are randomly sampled. What is the probability that the mean

of the four scores is above 127?

12. The correlation between self-esteem and extraversion is .30. A sample of 84 is

taken. a. What is the probability that the correlation will be less than 0.10? b.

What is the probability that the correlation will be greater than 0.25?

13. The mean GPA for students in School A is 3.0; the mean GPA for students in

School B is 2.8. The standard deviation in both schools is 0.25. The GPAs of

both schools are normally distributed. If 9 students are randomly sampled from

each school, what is the probability that:

a. the sample mean for School A will exceed that of School B by 0.5 or more?

b. the sample mean for School B will be greater than the sample mean for

School A?

14. In a city, 70% of the people prefer Candidate A. Suppose 30 people from this

city were sampled.

a. What is the mean of the sampling distribution of p?

b. What is the standard error of p?

A population has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 6. (a) What are the

mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the mean for N =

16? (b) What are the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of

the mean for N = 20?

2. Given a test that is normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard

deviation of 12, find:

a. the probability that a single score drawn at random will be greater than 110

b. the probability that a sample of 25 scores will have a mean greater than 105

c. the probability that a sample of 64 scores will have a mean greater than 105

d. the probability that the mean of a sample of 16 scores will be either less than

95 or greater than 105

3. What term refers to the standard deviation of a sampling distribution?

4. (a) If the standard error of the mean is 10 for N = 12, what is the standard error

of the mean for N = 22? (b) If the standard error of the mean is 50 for N = 25,

what is it for N = 64?

5. A questionnaire is developed to assess women's and men's attitudes toward

using animals in research. One question asks whether animal research is wrong

and is answered on a 7-point scale. Assume that in the population, the mean for

women is 5, the mean for men is 4, and the standard deviation for both groups is

1.5. Assume the scores are normally distributed. If 12 women and 12 men are

selected randomly, what is the probability that the mean of the women will be

more than 2 points higher than the mean of the men?

6. If the correlation between reading achievement and math achievement in the

population of fifth graders were 0.60, what would be the probability that in a

sample of 28 students, the sample correlation coefficient would be greater than

0.65?
