low-tar cigarette has a mean equal to 3.9 milligrams of tar per cigarette and a standard deviation equal to 1.0 milligram. Suppose a sample of 100 low-tar cigarettes is randomly selected from a day’s production and the tar content is measured in each. Assuming that the tobacco company’s claim is true‚ what is the probability that the mean tar content of the sample is greater than 4.15 milligrams? [0.00621] 2. The safety limit of a crane is known to be 32 tons. The mean weight and the standard

how a sample is drawn‚ it may be a random sample or a nonrandom sample. A random sample is a sample drawn in such a way that each member of the population has some chance of being selected in the sample. In a nonrandom sample‚ some members of the population may not have any chance of being selected in the sample. Suppose we have a list of 100 students and we want to select 10 of them. If we write the names of all 100 students on pieces of paper‚ put them in a hat‚ mix them‚ and then draw 10 names

A one-sample test‚ also known as a goodness of fit test‚ shows whether the collected data is useful in making a prediction about the population. One sample tests are used when we have a single sample and wish to test the hypothesis that it comes from a specified population. In this case‚ the following questions are encountered: • Is there a difference between observed frequencies and the frequencies we would expect‚ based on some theory? • Is there a difference between observed and expected

This average is the population parameter of interest‚ denoted by the greek letter mu. We estimate this parameter with the statistic x-bar‚ the average in the sample.

Inferences for One Population Standard Deviation The Standard deviation is a measure of the variation (or spread) of a data set. For a variable x‚ the standard deviation of all possible observations for the entire population is called the population standard deviation or standard deviation of the variable x. It is denoted σx or‚ when no confusion will arise‚ simply σ. Suppose that we want to obtain information about a population standard deviation. If the population is small‚ we can often determine
