- A researcher wants to estimate the proportion of the population which possess a given characteristic. A random sample of size 600 is taken resulting in 330 items which possess the characteristic. The point estimate for this population proportion is _______.
- A researcher is interested in testing to determine if the mean of population one is greater than the mean of population two. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the population means (i.e. the difference is zero). The alternative hypothesis is that there is a difference (i.e. the difference is not equal to zero). He randomly selects a sample of 9 items from population one resulting in a mean of 14.3 and a standard deviation of 3.4. He randomly selects a sample of 14 items from population two resulting in a mean of 11.8 and a standard deviation 2.9. He is using an alpha value of .10 to conduct this test. Assuming that the populations are normally distributed, the critical t-value from the table is _______.
- Given an infinite population with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 12, the probability that the mean of a sample of 36 observations, taken at random from this population, exceeds 78 is:
- To compute an interval estimate for the difference between the means of two populations, the t distribution is restricted to small sample situations.
- in comparing the means of two independent population , sample are randomly selected from normally distributed populations and population variances are equal, we can use paired t test for the mean difference.

To compute an interval estimate for the difference between the means of two populations, the t distribution __ A: is restricted to small sample situations. B: is not restricted to small sample situations. C: can be applied when the populations have equal means. D: can be applied only when the populations have equal standard deviations.

The difference between the sample mean and the population mean is called the sampling error.

A sample of size 40 is to be taken from an infinite population whose mean and standard deviation are 68 and 12, respectively. The probability that the sample mean will be larger than 70 is:
