Homework Assignment - Module 4

The document contains homework questions from chapters 7 and 8 on statistics. For question 2, it summarizes the central limit theorem, which states that as sample size increases to 30 or more, the sample mean will approximate a normal distribution. Questions 6, 8, and 12 involve calculating probabilities and confidence intervals using the normal distribution based on given values of the mean, standard deviation, sample size, and thresholds. Question 2 from chapter 8 defines directional and non-directional hypotheses, with question 4 giving examples of each. Question 8 identifies the significance level for different hypothesis tests.

Question 2

The central limit theorem conceptualizes the estimation of a normal distribution

through the mean of the distribution sample, as the sample size increases up to

30 or more, which adequately holds and asserts the central limit theorem.

Question 6

a. Above 92

µ = 88

σ = 12

n = 36

P ( X >92 )=P ( X−μ> 92−88 )

¿P

Question 8

a. X < 61, n = 53
3

µ = 62

Question 2

Directional hypothesis specifically measures either, the positivity or the

negativity of two variables while the non-directional hypothesis compares how

two variables are related.

Question 4

H 0 : x=μ=30
5

H a : x ≠ μ ≠30

b) Directional Hypothesis Test

H 0 ; x ≥ μ ≥30

H 1 : x> μ x <30
