In one region of the country, the mean length of stay in hospitals is 5.5 days with standard deviation 2.6 days. Because many patients stay in the hospital for considerably more days, the distribution of length of stay is strongly skewed to the right. Consider random samples of size 100 taken from the distribution with the mean length of stay, x, recorded for each sample. Which of the following is the best description of the sampling distribution of x ?

Approximately normal with mean 5.5 days and standard deviation 0.26 day

Strongly skewed to the right with mean 5.5 days and standard deviation 2.6 days

Strongly skewed to the right with mean 5.5 days and standard deviation 0.26 day

Strongly skewed to the right with mean 5.5 days and standard deviation 0.026 day

Approximately normal with mean 5.5 days and standard deviation 2.6 days

There were 5,317 previously owned homes sold in a western city in the year 2000. The distribution of the sales prices of these homes was strongly right-skewed, with a mean of $206,274 and a standard deviation of $37,881. If all possible simple random samples of size 100 are drawn from this population and the mean is computed for each of these samples, which of the following describes the sampling distribution of the sample mean?

Approximately normal with mean $206,274 and standard deviation $3,788

Approximately normal with mean $206,274 and standard deviation $37,881

Approximately normal with mean $206,274 and standard deviation $520

Strongly right-skewed with mean $206,274 and standard deviation $3,788

Strongly right-skewed with mean $206,274 and standard deviation $37,881

A recent study was conducted to investigate the duration of time required to complete a certain manual dexterity task. The reported mean was 10.2 seconds with a standard deviation of 16.0 seconds. Suppose the reported values are the true mean and standard deviation for the population of subjects in the study. If a random sample of 144 subjects is selected from the population, what is the approximate probability that the mean of the sample will be more than 11.0 seconds?

Based on the values of the true mean and true standard deviation, it can be concluded that the population distribution is not normal and therefore the probability cannot be calculated.

A manufacturer of cell phone batteries claims that the average number of recharge cycles for its batteries is 400. A consumer group will obtain a random sample of 100 of the manufacturer’s batteries and will calculate the mean number of recharge cycles. Which of the following statements is justified by the central limit theorem?

The distribution of the sample means of the number of recharge cycles is approximately normal because the sample size of 100 is greater than 30.

The distribution of the number of recharge cycles for the sample is approximately normal because the population mean of 400 is greater than 30.

The distribution of the number of recharge cycles for the sample is approximately normal because the sample size of 100 is greater than 30.

The distribution of the number of recharge cycles for the population is approximately normal because the sample size of 100 is greater than 30.

The distribution of the sample means of the number of recharge cycles is approximately normal because the population mean of 400 is greater than 30.

Increasing the sample size of an opinion poll will reduce the

variability of the estimates made from the data collected in the poll.

bias of the estimates made from the data collected in the poll.

variability of opinions in the sample.

variability of opinions in the population.

A recent survey finds that 35% of US households have at least one dog. You randomly choose 50 households to ask if they have a dog. Could you use the Normal Approximation for this?

Yes, both np and nq are at least 10

No, either np or nq is less than 10

No, we've sampled more than 10% of all households

Yes, we've sampled less than 10% of all households

The mean distance an OHS student travels to school is 5.6 miles with a standard deviation of 1.7 miles. Is it more likely to find one student that travels more than 6 miles to school or a mean of a sample of 29 students that travel more than 6 miles?

It is more likely to find 1 student that travels more than 6 miles to school

It is more likely to find a sample of 29 students whose mean is greater than 6 miles
