A study conducted by a local tennis center revealed that 25 percent of its new members
have novice level tennis skills. A membership drive in a metropolitan area resulted in
500 new members. It has been suggested that the normal approximation to the binomial
be used to calculate various probabilities. In this problem, can the normal
approximation to the binomial be applied? Explain.

The expected value of a uniform distribution is computed using the formula _________.
The proportion of the area under a normal curve that is to the left of z = 0.50 is
_______.
The following data was collected comparing gasoline prices and quantities (millions of
gallons).
Compute a value index to compare gas prices in 2010 to 2000.
The ________________ method is used to determine the linear equation when the best
fitting straight line is required.
A machine cuts steel to length for nails. The mean length of a nail is 43 millimeters.
There is concern that the settings of the machine producing the nails have changed. To
test the claim, 12 nails (n = 12) were sampled. The mean of the sample is 41.5 and the
standard deviation 1.784. To decide if the sample data support the claim that the mean
length is 43 millimeters, state your decision in terms of the null hypothesis. Use a 0.02
level of significance.
