2. A film editor feels that the standard deviation for the number of minutes in a video is 3.4 minutes. A sample of 24 videos has a standard deviation of 4.2 minutes. At @=0.05,is the samples standard deviation different from what the editor hypothesized?

If a person bought 1 share of Google stock within the last year, what is the probability that the stock on that day closed within $50 of the mean for that year (round to two places)? (Hint: this means the probability of being between 50 below and 50 above the mean). I cannot figure out the formula for this.. please help:)

30. The following Minitab display was created from speed data collected on a strip of I-95 where the
speed limit is posted as 55mph. Use the Minitab display below to identify the point estimate for
the population mean, and interpret the 95% confidence interval provided by Minitab.
I am not sure how this went completely over my head and i know the answer is in my face. can you shed some light on this please professor.
QUESTION 10 of 31
hi professor, im having some trouble with a binomial random variable question and I was hoping that you could clarify. the problem is as follows P(170 less than equal to x less than 180) when n = 600 p = .3 I know that the mean is 180 and the standard dev. is 11.2249
but is it as simple as just finding the area from 170 to the mean or am I over simplifying ?
QUESTION 11 of 31
Professor I section 7.3 question number 3
A child psychologist wants to estimate the time it takes a child to respond to a question
with a lie while playing the video game Tetris. If the researcher wants to estimate the
average time to respond within a margin of error of 0.10 seconds, and he wants to use
98% confidence, how many children does he have to time while they attempt to
respond with a lie? Assume the standard deviation of response times is 0.6 seconds.

QUESTION 15 of 31
Hello Professor, the question is in regards to completing an ANOVA table for a two factorial experiment, I understand certain elements to generating values but I am wondering if you can answer this question that was given to me in my course that didn't give much of an explanation on how certain parts were done. Thank You.
a) give the numbers of levels of each factor
b)Complete the ANOVA Table
c) Test to determine whether treatment means differ? using alpha .10
d) Conduct a test of factor interact and mean effects, each at .10 alpha level of significance.

Good Afternoon professor... I also have another question... in Wilsons adjustment for estimating p.. the formula of P: x+2/n+4... what does x stand for? what value is it?
Thank you very much,

QUESTION 17 of 31
Good Afternoon Mr. McGuckian,
I am not very sure when to use Wilson's adjustment for estimating p method for chapter 7. I know that it is used when p is close to 0 or 1... but what I don't know is, how close? where do I draw the line between "p" values that are way to close to 0 or 1 over the ones that are close but in which the normal sample proportion can be used?
QUESTION 18 of 31
Hi professor, I am not getting a question number 70 from mixed review of chapter 7? Like what should be the ^p?

QUESTION 20 of 31
Hello Professor, I really don't understand this question
62. If you wanted to determine the number of people needed for a survey to determine the percent of the population without health insurance, how could this be done? Assume you would like to ultimately form a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of just 2 percentage points (hint: think of the margin of error formula for the proportion interval).
I really don't know how I would actually go about this. I read the answer and I still don't understand what values you would even plug into the equation for p hat and q hat.
Can you please help, thank you for your time.
QUESTION 21 of 31
(This is in my H.W 9.1 Testing the Differences Between Two Means: Using z Test)
Teachers' Salaries: California and New York lead the list of average teachers' salaries. The California yearly average is $64,421 while teachers in New York make an average annual salary of $62,332. Random samples of 45 teachers from each state yielded the following:
California:
-Sample Mean = 64,510
-Population Standard Deviation=8,200
New York:
-Sample Mean= 62,900
-Population Standard Deviation= 7,800
QUESTION 22 of 31
Hello Professor,
In the homework for chapter 5, number 40 asks "The fastest finishing times for the NY marathon are normally distributed with a mean of 147.08 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.48 minutes. Find the finishing time for the slowest 4% of winning NY marathon runners."
After viewing the answer, it seems that the bell curve was cut at the 4% on the right side of the curve. I'm still confused as to why we wouldn't cut it on the left side (making the z-score negative) since it is asking for the slowest 4%?
Thank you!

QUESTION 23 of 31
Good Afternoon Mr. McGuckian,
I am reading Chapter 7.4 and in the part that says recall, I don't understand very well what the signs stands for or what it is trying to say.
I am referring to this part:
Recall: The CLT says if X ~ N(u,o^2 ), then X ~ N(u,o^2/n) for any sample size n—no matter how small.
I know we are talking about when to use the t-distribution and when not to use it (you use t when n is less than 30).. but I like to understand everything that is written on the notes... and I know the answer is probably super easy and that's why its embarrassing to ask.. but I would rather make sure I understand everything well.
Thank You Very Much

Professor I just have a question about the test. On class you said you would give us some bonus questions in order to give us a chance of a better grade. How many, if any question would be considered bonus questions. Thanks for your time.
QUESTION 27 of 31
I am sorry I keep asking questions, I am just a bit confused when it comes to the exam's formula cards. In class you said we could add some information to it, however I am not sure what you meant by that. Is it okay if I add steps on how to get class boundaries and width? And in your opinion, how much is too much? Thank you so much for your time, and sorry for the bother.

QUESTION 30 of 31
Hello professor,
on 10.1 "Do It Yourself!" problem 1 i noticed that mmy calculator does not round as exact as your answers but im doing all the work properly and in the correct steps. I have a scientific calculator but not graphing calculator will you calculate these differences on the third exam? for example for the SSE on that particular problem my answer was: 2075910.519 while on the given answer it stated 2,075,911.429
