If the results of 100 observations, which had a standard deviation of 0.5, were gathered randomly into groups of 10 and the mean of each group recorded, what would you expect to be the value of the standard deviation of the group of means thus produced?
If %10 of the rivets produced by a machine are defective, find the probability that out of 5 randomly chosen rivets. i) one or more will be defective. ii) at most two will be defective.
The distribution of IQ for 12-year-olds is known to be normal with mean 100 and standard deviation 16. What must then be the probability for a 12-year-old to have an IQ of 124 or more? What is the probability for a 12-year-old to have an IQ of 84 or less?
