Suppose that a recent article stated that the mean time spent in jail by a first-time convicted burglar is 2.5 years. A study was then done to see if the mean time has increased in the new century. A random sample of 27 first-time convicted burglars in a recent year was picked. The mean length of time in jail from the survey was four years with a standard deviation of 1.9 years. Suppose that it is somehow known that the population standard deviation is 1.4. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the mean length of jail time has increased. Assume the distribution of the jail times is approximately normal.

Answer:

sigma should be used

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that The mean length of time in jail from the survey was four years with a standard deviation of 1.9 years.

The above given is for sample of 27 size.

For hypothesis test to compare mean of sample with population we can use either population std dev or sample std dev.

But once population std deviation is given, we use only that as that would be more reliable.

So here we can use population std deviation 1.4 only.

If population std deviation is used we can use normality and do Z test

Hope this helps ;)

Graham recruited student volunteers to participate in his dissertation study. He set up several times for students to come to a specified classroom and read various types of instructional materials and to be tested. He ran all of his control conditions first and then for each session he placed all students at the session in the same treatment condition. This is problematic because those who volunteered early are likely different than those who volunteered later. This problem is primarily due to 1. response bias. 2. instrumentation bias. 3. researcher bias. 4. sampling bias.

In the first week of August, there were 1,060 people at an amusement park. In the second week, there was a 20% decrease in attendance. The park had estimated that 1,500 people would attend the 2nd week. What is the approximate percent error of their estimate?

Several shots were fired during a concert downtown. The performing musician received minor injuries, and no one else was injured. The musician is now suing the city for not providing proper security for the event. The musician has had financial trouble after leaving a successful boyband, and there are rumors that the musician organized the shooting so he could collect money from the lawsuit. A tree near the stage was found with several bullet holes, and it was determined the shots could not have come from the crowd. The musician owns the penthouse in the apartment building in front of the concert venue, so forensic analysts want to determine if the shots could have come from there. The penthouse is on the sixth floor, which is 85 feet from the ground . The building is 60 feet from the tree. Using the measurements from the crime scene, show your math to determine if the shooter came from the penthouse.

Which equation and solution can be used to solve this problem?

Twenty-two less than a number is twenty-four.

q + 22 = 24: Subtract 22 from both sides. The answer is 2.
24 + q = 22: Subtract 22 from both sides. The answer is 2.
q minus 24 = 22: Add 24 to both sides. The answer is 46.
q minus 22 = 24: Add 22 to both sides. The answer is 46.
