Aresearcher wishes to estimate the average blood alcohol concentration (bac) for drivers involved in fatal accidents who are found to have positive bac values. he randomly selects records from 7575 such drivers in 2009 and determines the sample mean bac to be 0.150.15 g/dl with a standard deviation of 0.0700.070 g/dl. ? (a) a histogram of blood alcohol concentrations in fatal accidents shows that bacs are highly skewed right. explain why a large sample size is needed to construct a confidence interval for the mean bac of fatal crashes with a positive bac.

a. since the distribution of blood alcohol concentrations is normally? distributed, the sample must be large so that the distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normal.

b. since the distribution of blood alcohol concentrations is not normally distributed? (highly skewed? right), the sample must be large so that the distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normal.

c. since the distribution of blood alcohol concentrations is normally? distributed, the sample mean will be approximately normal regardless of sample size.

d. since the distribution of blood alcohol concentrations is not normally distributed? (highly skewed? right), the sample mean will be approximately normal regardless of sample size.

Max recorded the heights of 500 male humans. he found that the heights were normally distributed around a mean of 177 centimeters. which statements about max’s data must be true? a) the median of max’s data is 250 b) more than half of the data points max recorded were 177 centimeters. c) a data point chosen at random is as likely to be above the mean as it is to be below the mean. d) every height within three standard deviations of the mean is equally likely to be chosen if a data point is selected at random.
