Review Inferential Statistics

A. Sketch a normal curve for each distribution. Label the x-axis at one, two, and three
standard deviations from the mean.

1. Mean = 15; Std = 4 2. Mean = 20; Std =5

A machine is used to put bolts into boxes. It does so such that the actual number of
bolts in a box is normally distributed with a mean of 106 and a standard deviation of 2.

B. For each problem below draw a picture of the normal curve and shade the area you have
to find. Machine is used to put bolts into boxes. It does so such that the actual number of
bolts in a box is normally distributed with a mean of 106 and a standard deviation of 2.

a) Draw and label the Normal curve from the information.

b) What percentage of boxes contains more than 104 bolts?

c) What percentage of boxes contains more than 110 bolts?

d) What percentage of boxes contains less than 108 bolts?

e) What percentage of boxes contains less than 100 bolts?

f) What percentage of boxes contain between 102 and 112 bolts?

g) What percentage of boxes contain between 100 and 106 bolts?

C. Find z-value of the problem below.

A normal distribution of scores has a standard deviation of 10. Find the z-scores
corresponding to each of the following values:
a) A score of 60, where the mean score of the sample data values is 40.

b) A score of 80, where the mean score of the sample data values is 30.

c) A score of 20, where the mean score of the sample data values is 50.

D. A set of data has a normal distribution with a mean of 5.1 and a standard deviation of
0.9. Find Z-value , after that find the percent of data within each interval.
a. between 6.0 and 6.9

b. greater than 6.9

c. less than 4.2

d. less than 5.1

e. between 4.2 and 5.1

E. For each claim k, use the specified information to calculate the test statistic and determine
whether there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Then make a statement
regarding the original claim.

1. A researcher wants to test claim that the average home sale price in the U.S is less than
$260,000. She selects a sample of 40 homes and finds the mean sale price of the sample
to be $254,500 with a standard deviation $12,500. Determine whether there is enough
evidence to support the claim at 𝛼 = 0.05.
2. CNN/Money reports that the mean cost of a speeding ticket, including court fees, was
$150.00 in 2002. A local police department claims that this amount has increased. To test
their claim, they collect data from a simple random sample of 160 drivers who have been
fined for speeding in the last year, and find that they paid a mean of $154.00 per ticket.
Assuming that the population standard deviation is $17.54, is there sufficient evidence to
support the police department’s claim at the 𝛼 = 0.01 significance level?
3. Ms. Taylor claims that her math students spend 25 minutes each night on homework. Ava
ask 35 of her classmates to record the average amount of time that they spend on
homework each night over the course of a week. Its turn out the average time is 25.74
minute with standard deviation 0f 6.46 minutes. Determine whether Ms. Taylor’s claim is
supported at 𝛼 = 0.1.
