1. A simple random sample of 400 students is taken at a large university. The average height of the sampled students is 68 inches and the SD is 2 inches. The distribution of heights in the sample follows the normal curve very closely.

An approximate 68% confidence for the average height of students at the university is 68 inches plus or minus ____________ inches.

Approximately 68% of the students in the sample have heights in the range 68 inches plus or minus ____________ inches.

Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the proportion/probability (.34) and its Z score (score in terms of SD).

A. 68% = mean ± 1 SEm

SEm = SD/√n

B. 68% = mean ± 1 SD

A simple random sample of voters is taken from the voters in a large state. Using the methods of our course, researchers construct an approximate 99% confidence interval for the percent of the state’s voters who will vote for Candidate A. The interval goes from 37.3% to 48.7%.

In the sample, the percent of voters who will vote for Candidate A
is equal to ____________%.

An approximate 95% confidence interval for the percent of the state’s voters who will vote for Candidate A goes from _________% to _________%.
