For a normally distributed population with a mean of µ = 70 and a standard deviation of σ = 10, what is the probability of obtaining a sample mean greater than M = 67 for a sample of n = 64 scores?

A treatment is administered to a sample of n = 9 individuals selected from a population with a mean of µ = 80 and a standard deviation of σ = 12. After treatment, the effect size is measured by computing Cohen’s d, and a value of d = 0.50 is obtained. Based on this information, what is the mean for the treated sample?

John drives to work each morning, and the trip takes an average of µ = 38 minutes. The distribution of driving times is normal with a standard deviation of σ = 5 minutes. For a randomly selected morning, which is the probability that John’s drive to work will take less than 35 minutes?

A normal distribution has a mean of µ = 60 with σ = 8. For this population, which is the X value that corresponds to the 75th percentile?

Using z-scores, a population with µ = 37 and σ = 6 is standardized so that the new mean is µ = 50 and σ = 10. After the standardization, one individual has a score of X = 55. What was this individual’s score in the original distribution?

Even if a treatment has no effect, it is still possible to obtain an extreme sample mean that is very different from the population mean. Which outcome is likely if this happens?

A class consists of 10 male and 30 female students. A random sample of n = 3 students is selected with replacement. If the first two students are both females, what is the probability that the third student is a male?

The level of significance is the _____.

Scores on the SAT form a normal distribution with a mean of µ = 500 and standard deviation of σ = 100. If the state college only accepts students who score in the top 60% on the SAT, what is the minimum score needed to be accepted?

Larry wants to do everything possible to be in a position to detect that a treatment he has designed is effective given that it is actually effective. Which of the following should he do?
