) The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) gave a test of basic arithmetic and the ability to apply it in everyday life to a sample of 840 men 21 to 25 years of age. Scores range from 0 to 500; for example, someone with a score of 325 can determine the price of a meal from a menu. The mean score for these 840 young men was x⎯⎯⎯ = 272. We want to estimate the mean score μ in the population of all young men. Consider the NAEP sample as an SRS from a Normal population with standard deviation σ = 60. (a) If we take many samples, the sample mean x⎯⎯⎯ varies from sample to sample according to a Normal distribution with mean equal to the unknown mean score μ in the population. What is the standard deviation of this sampling distribution? (b) According to the 95 part of the 68-95-99.7 rule, 95% of all values of x⎯⎯⎯ fall within _______ on either side of the unknown mean μ. What is the missing number? (c) What is the 95% confidence interval for the population mean score μ based on this one sample? Note: Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to find the interval.

Answer:

a) The standard deviation of this sampling distribution is 2.07.

b) The missing number is 4.14.

c) The 95% confidence interval for the population mean score μ based on this one sample is between 267.86 and 276.14.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the Empirical Rule and the Central Limit Theorem.

Empirical Rule:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Central Limit Theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question:

[tex]\mu = 272, n = 840, \sigma = 60[/tex]

(a) If we take many samples, the sample mean x⎯⎯⎯ varies from sample to sample according to a Normal distribution with mean equal to the unknown mean score μ in the population. What is the standard deviation of this sampling distribution?

Using the Central Limit Theorem:

[tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{60}{\sqrt{840}} = 2.07[/tex]

The standard deviation of this sampling distribution is 2.07.

(b) According to the 95 part of the 68-95-99.7 rule, 95% of all values of x⎯⎯⎯ fall within _______ on either side of the unknown mean μ. What is the missing number?

Within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

So, 2*2.07 = 4.14

The missing number is 4.14.

(c) What is the 95% confidence interval for the population mean score μ based on this one sample?

Within 4.14 of the mean

272 - 4.14 = 267.86

272 + 4.14 = 276.14

The 95% confidence interval for the population mean score μ based on this one sample is between 267.86 and 276.14.
