Need help finding the distribution If you expect 50/50 split among gender in a particular population and you get 60/40 on one sample which distribution would you use to test if the proportions are actually different?
Consider the relationship between derived scores and the normal curve. In terms of the normal curve and how it relates to psychological testing and assessment. "Consider real-world applications of the normal curve."
The population of fruit cans filled by a particular machine is known to be normally distributed with a mean equal to 12 ounces and a standard deviation equal to .25 ounces. Given this information, the sampling distribution for a random sample of n = 25 cans will also be normally distributed with a mean equal to 12 ounces and a s

A simple random sample of 120 orders will be used to estimate the proportion of first-time customers a. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be between .25 and .35 (to 4 decimals)?

1) How might the selection of a given tail test impact the Type I or II error, if any? 2) If the problem itself is not yet stated how might a researcher know which type of -tail test to use? 3) Might there be instances where a test is looking for a section of the area under the curve and not just the extreme ends?
The rejection region for a two-tail test that uses the standard normal distribution is that area under the distribution lying: a. between 0 and the positive cutoff value for Z. b. between the positive cutoff value for Z and the negative cutoff value for Z. c. between 0 and the negative cutoff value for Z. d. to the right
The manufacturer of a particular bicycle model has the following costs associated with the management of the product's inventory. In particular, the company currently maintains an inventory of 1000 units of this bicycle model at the beginning of each year. If X units are demanded each year and X is less than 1000, the excess sup

Its parameters are the mean, μ, and standard deviation, σ. c. It is a discrete probability distribution. d. Theoretically, the mean, median, and mode are the same
In its standardized form, the normal distribution a. has an area equal to 0.5. b. has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. c. has an area equal to 100. d. has a mean of 1 and a variance of 0.
Assume that women's heights are normally distributed with a mean given by u=64.2in, and a standard deviation given by o=2.3in. A) If one woman is randomly selected, find the probability that her height is less than 65in. (Round to four decimal places as needed). B) If 33 Women are randomly selected, find the probability th
Part A: Describe the properties of a normal distribution. Explain why there are an infinite number of normal distributions. How does a standard normal distribution differ from any from any other normal distribution, and how is it similar? Explain. Part B: What is the transformation to standardize a normal random variable? Why
Suppose that the scores of architects on a particular creativity test are normally distributed. What percentage of architects have Z scores (a) above .10, (b) below .10, (c) above .20, (d) below .20, (e) above 1.10, (f) below 1.10, (g) above -.10, (h) below -.10?
5. In baseball, a "no-hitter" is a regulation 9-inning game in which the pitcher yields no hits to the opposing batters. Chance (Summer, 1994) reported on a study of no-hitters in Major League Baseball (MLB). The initial analysis focused on the total number of hits yielded per game per team for all 9-inning MLB games played betw
1. True or False? Replacement is allowed in binomial experiments. Explain your answer. 2. True or False? Two normal distributions that have the same standard deviation have the same shape, regardless of the relationship between their means. Explain your answer.
