The student body of a large university consists of 60% female students. A random sample of 8 students is selected. What is the probability that among the students in the sample at least 7 are female?

A population has a mean of 180 and a standard deviation of 24. A sample of 64 observations is selected out of population size of 1500. The probability that the mean from that sample will be between 177 and 186 is _____.

A random sample of 25 statistics examinations was selected. The average score in the sample was 76 with a standard deviation of 12. Assuming the scores are normally distributed, the 99% confidence interval for the population average examination score is _____.

A random sample of 1000 people was taken. Four hundred fifty of the people in the sample favored Candidate A. The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of people who favors Candidate A is:

A sample of 25 observations is taken from an infinite population. The sampling distribution of sample proportion is ________.

A machine that produces a major part for an airplane engine is monitored closely. In the past, 10% of the parts produced would be defective. With a 0.95 probability, the sample size that needs to be taken if the desired margin of error is 0.04 or less is

Let’s assume that we do not have population standard deviation from data of previous studies, but have information on range: the smallest value of the sample is 4 and the largest value of the sample is 40. Then, at 90% confidence, how large a sample would provide a margin of error of 2.
