14. Suppose that the New England Colonials baseball team is equally likely to win any particular game as not to win it. Suppose also that we choose a random sample of 20 Colonials games.

 

    Estimate the number of games in the sample that the Colonials win by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of the relevant random variable). Do not round your response.

 

    Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution. Round your response to at least three decimal places.

21. A laboratory claims that the mean sodium level,

mEq per liter of blood. To test this claim, a random sample of

adult patients is evaluated. The mean sodium level for the sample is

https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?277

mEq per liter of blood. It is known that the population standard deviation of adult sodium levels is

https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?23

22. For a study conducted by the research department of a pharmaceutical company,

randomly selected individuals were asked to report the amount of money they spend annually on prescription allergy relief medication. The sample mean was found to be

with a standard deviation of

. A random sample of

https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?116

individuals was selected independently of the first sample. These individuals reported their annual spending on non-prescription allergy relief medication. The mean of the second sample was found to be

with a standard deviation of

https://secure.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/math2htgif.exe/NM?%270%2D73
