random sample of size n = 185. Please show your answers as numbers accurate to 4 decimal places.
Find the probability that a single randomly selected value is less than 10.

The standard deviation is approximately $10,762. The starting salary is not normally distributed but it is mound shaped. A sample of 49 starting salaries for nurses is taken. State the random variable. Starting salary for a nurse. The mean starting salary of a nurse. The standard deviation of starting salaries of nurses. What is the mean of the sample mean? μx̄ = What is the standard deviation of the sample mean? Round to two decimal places. σx̄ = What is the shape of the sampling distribution of the sample mean? Why? You can say the sampling distribution of the sample mean is not normally distributed since the sample size is greater than 30. You can't say anything about the sampling distribution of the sample mean, since the population of the random variable is not normally distributed and the sample size is greater than 30. You can say the sampling distribution of the sample mean is normally distributed since the sample size is greater than 30. Find the probability that the sample mean is more than $73,000. Round to four decimal places. P(x̄ > 73000) =
Find the probability that the sample mean is less than $55,000. Round to four decimal places.
P(x̄ < 55000)= If you did find a sample mean of more than $73,000 would you find that unusual? What could you conclude? It is not unusual to find a sample mean more than $73,000, since the probability is at least 5%. If you find a sample mean more than $73,000, then it may indicate that the population mean has not changed. It is not unusual to find a sample mean more than $73,000, since the probability is less than 5%. If you find a sample mean more than $73,000, then it may indicate that the population mean has not changed. It is unusual to find a sample mean more than $73,000, since the probability is at least 5%. If you find a sample mean more than $73,000, then it may indicate that the population mean has changed. It is unusual to find a sample mean more than $73,000, since the probability is less than 5%.

If 10 people who have taken the New York Bar Exam are randomly selected, what is the probability that at least 79% have passed? Round your answer to 4 decimal places. 2. If 40 people who have taken the New York Bar Exam are randomly selected, what is the probability that at least 79% have passed? Round your answer to 4 decimal places. 3. Why did the probability decrease? The probability decreased since the sample size decreased resulting in a wider distribution which increased the area of the right tail. The probability decreased since the sample size increased resulting in a narrower distribution which reduced the area of the right tail.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 55% of women were in the labor force in 2015. 1. If 80 working age women are randomly selected, what is the probability that between 52% and 62% are in the labor force? Round your answer to 4 decimal places. 2. If 190 working age women are randomly selected, what is the probability that between 52% and 62% are in the labor force? Round your answer to 4 decimal places. 3. Why did the probability increase? The probability increased since the sample size increased and the distribution of sample proportions is more spread out. The probability increased since the sample size increased and the sample proportions are more concentrated near the true labor force participation rate of 55 % .
