In 1998, the average height of an adult male in South Africa was estimated to be 169cm. Assume that this estimate is exact; assume also that the population standard deviation is 10cm. What fraction of samples consisting of 50 adult males from South Africa (selected uniformly at random, and with replacement) will have average height greater than 200cm?

Answer #1

(OR) FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING    

ANSWER::

Since sample size is greater than 30, we can use normal approximation. Hence,

P(Average height > 200)

= P(z > (200 - 169)/(10/))

= P(z > 21.92)

= 0.0000

A simple random sample of 18 male students at a university has an average height of 70 inches. The average height of men in the general population is 69 inches. Assume that male height is approximately normally distributed with σ = 2.8 inches. Conduct a two-sided hypothesis test to determine whether the male students have heights that are significantly different than expected. Show all hypothesis testing steps.
