Collect the data
Use a random number generator to randomly select four samples of size
n = 5 from the given population. Record your samples in
[link] . Then, for each sample, calculate the mean to the nearest tenth. Record them in the spaces provided. Record the sample means for the rest of the class.
Complete the table:
Sample 1
Sample 2
Sample 3
Sample 4
Sample means from other groups:
Means:
= ____
= ____
= ____
= ____
Calculate the following:
= _______
s = _______
Again, use a random number generator to randomly select four samples from the population. This time, make the samples of size
n = 10. Record the samples in
[link] . As before, for each sample, calculate the mean to the nearest tenth. Record them in the spaces provided. Record the sample means for the rest of the class.
Sample 1
Sample 2
Sample 3
Sample 4
Sample means from other groups
Means:
= ____
= ____
= ____
= ____
Calculate the following:

s = ______
For the original population, construct a histogram. Make intervals with a bar width of one day. Sketch the graph using a ruler and pencil. Scale the axes.
Draw a smooth curve through the tops of the bars of the histogram. Use one to two complete sentences to describe the general shape of the curve.
Repeat the procedure for
n = 5
For the sample of
n = 5 days averaged together, construct a histogram of the averages (your means together with the means of the other groups). Make intervals with bar widths of
a day. Sketch the graph using a ruler and pencil. Scale the axes.
Draw a smooth curve through the tops of the bars of the histogram. Use one to two complete sentences to describe the general shape of the curve.
Repeat the procedure for
n = 10
For the sample of
n = 10 days averaged together, construct a histogram of the averages (your means together with the means of the other groups). Make intervals with bar widths of
a day. Sketch the graph using a ruler and pencil. Scale the axes.
Draw a smooth curve through the tops of the bars of the histogram. Use one to two complete sentences to describe the general shape of the curve.
Discussion questions
Compare the three histograms you have made, the one for the population and the two for the sample means. In three to five sentences, describe the similarities and differences.
State the theoretical (according to the clt) distributions for the sample means.
n = 5:
~ _____(_____,_____)
n = 10:
~ _____(_____,_____)
Are the sample means for
n = 5 and
n = 10 “close” to the theoretical mean,
μ
x ? Explain why or why not.
Which of the two distributions of sample means has the smaller standard deviation? Why?
As
n changed, why did the shape of the distribution of the data change? Use one to two complete sentences to explain what happened.

you have been hired as an espert witness in a court case involving an automobile accident. the accident involved car A of mass 1500kg which crashed into stationary car B of mass 1100kg. the driver of car A applied his brakes 15 m before he skidded and crashed into car B. after the collision, car A s
can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing

A string is 3.00 m long with a mass of 5.00 g. The string is held taut with a tension of 500.00 N applied to the string. A pulse is sent down the string. How long does it take the pulse to travel the 3.00 m of the string?
