This problem calculates z-scores and confidence intervals (using Chebyshev inequality). It also explains why the z-score of the mean needs to be 0. A number of examples have been provided.
1. Consider an infinite population with a normal shape and a mean of 250 and standard deviation of 30. a. Compute the z-scores for the following values of X and locate each on the graph. X Z-score 200 320 220 270 250 b. According to the Empirical rule what percent of the data should be between 220 and 280? Bet

Part 1: A study was conducted to see if more than 60% of the American corporate work force felt that they were overdue for a promotion. A random sample of 1500 Americans currently working in a corporate atmosphere was taken. 855 said that they did feel that a promotion was overdue. A 95% confidence interval for estimating t

Suppose that 55 percent of the people in a population of 500,000 support your candidate. If you conduct a poll of 1,000 people, what is the interval that has a 95 percent chance of containing the results of your poll? Suppose you have 60 red marbles and 40 blue marbles in a box. If you pick out 10 marbles without replacemen

Body mass index is calculated by dividing a person?s weight by the square of his or her height; it is a measure of the extent to which the individual is overweight. For the population of middle-aged men who later developed diabetes mellitus, the distribution of baseline body mass indices is approximately normal with unknown mean
In order to compare the means of two populations, independent random samples of 400 observations are selected from each population, with the following results: Sample 1: xbar = 5,275 s= 150 Sample 2: xbar = 5,240 s= 200 a. Use a 95% confidence interval to estimate the difference between the population means (?1 - ?2 ).
