It is known that the age of patients in a hospital in the middle of the country is normal, with a 45 expectation and a standard deviation of 18. A random sample of 35 patients was selected. Consider the following probabilities: 1. The average of the sample shall be at least 40. 2. The deviation of the sample mean from the population mean shall be less than 2.2.

1. A researcher claims that the mean age of women in California
at the time of a first marriage is higher than 26.5 years.
Surveying a simple random sample of 210 newlywed women in
California, the researcher found a mean age of 27.0 years. Assuming
that the population standard deviation is 2.3 years and using a 95%
level of confidence, determine if there is sufficient evidence to
support the researcher’s claim.

In a large hospital, a nursing director selected a random sample
of 30 registered nurses and found that the mean of their ages was
30.2. The population standard deviation for the registered nurse
ages is 5.6. She selected a random sample of 40 nursing assistants
and found the mean of their ages was 31.7. The population standard
deviation of the ages for the assistants is 4.3. At the 1% level of
significance, test the claim that the mean age of...

Rockwell hardness of pins of a certain type is known to have a
mean value of 50 and a standard deviation of 1.4. (Round your
answers to four decimal places.)
(a) If the distribution is normal, what is the probability that
the sample mean hardness for a random sample of 18 pins is at least
51?
(b) What is the (approximate) probability that the sample mean
hardness for a random sample of 45 pins is at least 51?

A random sample of 24 recent birth records at the local hospital
was selected. In the sample, the average birth weight was 119.6
ounces. Population standard deviation was 6.7 ounces. Assume that
in the population of all babies born in this hospital, the birth
weights follow a Normal distribution, with mean μ. A 95% confidence
interval for the population mean birth weight based on these data

From a previous report, the mean number of days for patients
waiting for bypass surgery is 18.2 days with a standard deviation
of approximately 10 days. The population distribution is skewed
right (positively skewed).
a) If we drew a random sample of 22 patients waiting for bypass
surgery, then would it be reasonable to say that the sampling
distribution of a sample mean, , will be approximately normal?
Answer either yes or no.

Two hospital emergency rooms use different procedures for triage
of their patients. A local health care provider conducted a study
to determine if there is a significant difference in the mean
waiting time of patients for both hospitals. The 40 randomly
selected subjects from Medina General Hospital (population 1)
produce a mean waiting time of 18.3 minutes and a standard
deviation of 2.1 minutes. The 50 randomly selected patients from
Southwest General Hospital (population 2) produce a mean waiting
time...

1. The mean cholesterol levels of women age 45-59 in Ghana,
Nigeria, and Seychelles is 5.1 mmol/l and the standard deviation is
1.0 mmol/l. Assume that cholesterol levels are normally distributed
and a random sample of 25 women are selected.
It is possible with rounding for a probability to be
0.0000.
