What distribution follows for the sample mean of XX?

XˉN(μ,σ2/n)\bar{X} \sim N(\mu, \sigma^2/n) where σ2\sigma^2 is known and nn is sample size.

What is the mean distribution for XN(100,7)X \sim N(100, 7) with n=60n=60?

XˉN(100,72/60)\bar{X} \sim N(100, 7^2/60)

How to calculate P(X>102)P(X > 102) for XN(100,7)X \sim N(100, 7)?

Use Z=(102100)/7Z = (102-100)/7; P(Z>0.2857)P(Z > 0.2857) from Z-table.

What does P(Xˉ>102)P(\bar{X} > 102) represent in statistics?

It represents the probability of the mean being over 102102.

What are the hypotheses for plant height test?

H0:μ=21H_0: \mu = 21, H1:μ>21H_1: \mu > 21

What does the critical region indicate in hypothesis testing?

It identifies values that reject the null hypothesis.

What is the probability for the observed mean of 21.221.2?

P(Xˉ>21.2)=0.2755P(\bar{X} > 21.2) = 0.2755

What does a P-value of 0.2755 indicate?

It indicates insufficient evidence to reject H0H₀.

What hypotheses are tested for population mean = 5?

H₀: μ=5\mu = 5, H₁: μ5\mu \neq 5

What does a sample mean of 6.16.1 suggest for H0H_0 testing?

Reject H0H_0: Mean is significantly different from 55.
