If df>90, the distribution is _____________. Ifdf=15, the distribution is _______________

Short Answer

Expert verified

Because the chi-square curve is approximated as a normal curve if df>90, the distribution is Normal.

X~N(1000,44.72)

Because the chi-square curve bends towards the right side of the curve when df=15, the distribution is right skewed.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given in the question that, We need to find the distribution if df>90and , the df=15.

02

Explanation

Because the chi-square curve is approximated as a normal curve if df>90, the distribution is Normal.

The population mean for X~χ10002 is determined as follows:

μ=df

=1000

μ=1000

Also known as standard deviation, it is determined as follows:

σ=2×df

=2×1000=2000=44.72144.72

σ=44.72

Consequently, we have

X~N(1000,44.72)approx.

Because the chi-square curve bends towards the right side of the curve when df=15, the distribution is right skewed.

Isabella, an accomplished Bay to Breakers runner, claims that the standard deviation for her time to run the 7.5mile race is at most three minutes. To test her claim, Rupinder looks up five of her race times. They are 55minutes, 61minutes, 58minutes, 63 minutes, and 57 minutes.

In general, if the observed values and expected values of a goodness-of-fit test are not close together, then the test statistic can get very large and on a graph will be way out in the right tail.

Decide whether the following statements are true or false:

As the number of degrees of freedom increases, the graph of the chi-square distribution looks more and more symmetrical.

The manager of "Frenchies" is concerned that patrons are not consistently receiving the same amount of French fries with each order. The chef claims that the standard deviation for a ten-ounce order of fries is at most 1.5oz., but the manager thinks that it may be higher. He randomly weighs49 orders of fries, which yields a mean of 11 oz. and a standard deviation of two oz.

Suppose an airline claims that its flights are consistently on time with an average delay of at most 15 minutes. It claims that the average delay is so consistent that the variance is no more than 150 minutes. Doubting the consistency part of the claim, a disgruntled traveler calculates the delays for his next 25 flights. The average delay for those 25 flights is 22 minutes with a standard deviation of 15 minutes.

How did you know to test the variance instead of the mean?
