1- A company that sells an online course aimed at helping high-school students improve their SAT scores has claimed that SAT scores will improve by more than 90 points on average if students successfully complete the course. To test this, a national school counseling organization plans to select a random sample of n = 100 stude
The majority of the data is normally distributed if there are enough subjects. For instance, if you collected test scores of only a few honor students, the data will most likely not be normally distributed because you would have a sample that did not represent the entire population. But the identical test scores (for honor stude

See the attached file. Using the Coins Generator feature in the Data menu of the statdisk software, available at statdisk.org, 100 sets of 30 coin tosses were simulated, and the observed number of heads was recorded for each of the 100 trials. The sorted results for the observed number of heads appear below. 8 9 10
A company that manufactures batteries for laptop computers has determined that the average lifetime of its batteries is 360 days with a standard deviation of 30 days. Assuming the lifetime of the batteries is normally distributed, determine the number of days that at least 95% of the batteries will last beyond.
1. The average price of a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline was reported to be $2.34 in northern Kentucky. Use this price as the population mean, and assume the population standard deviation is $0.20. a. What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 service stations is within $0.03 of the population mean?

Sample question: One of the biggest issues facing e-retailers is the ability to turn browsers into buyers. This is measured by the conversion rate, the percentage of browsers who buy something in their visit to a site. The conversion rate for a company's website was 10.1%. The website at the company was redesigned in an attempt

So, what is the Normal Distribution, and when you think you know what it is, post a real-example of one (other than height), then ask yourself is it really normally distributed? Can everything be normally distributed, that is, fall along a 'bell curve'?
