For the following questions answer true or false for each
1. The mean for a sample of n=4 scores has a standard error of 5 points. This sample was selected from a population with a standard deviation of o=20.
2. The mean for a sample of n=16 scores has an expected value of 50. This sample was selected from a population with a mean of µ=50.
3. On average, a sample of n=16 scores from a population with o=10 will provide a better estimate of the population mean than you would get with a sample of n=16 scores from a population with o=5.
4. A sample is obtained from a population with o=12. If the sample mean has a standard error of 3, then the sample size is n=4.
5. A sample of n=16 scores is randomly selected from a population with µ=80 and o=16. If the sample mean is M=84, then the corresponding z-score is z=+1.00.
6. A sample of n=4 scores is selected from a population with µ=70 and o=10. The probability of obtaining a sample mean greater than 65 is p=0.8413.
7. The standard error of M provides a measure of the average distance between a sample mean and the population mean.
8. A sample mean with a z-score value greater than z=3.00 would be considered an extreme, unrepresentative sample.
9. A sample mean with a z-score value between -1.00 and +1.00 would be considered a fairly typical, representative sample.
10. A population has µ=60 and o=30. For a sample of n=25 scores from this population, a sample mean of M=55 would be considered an extreme value.
11. A population has µ=60 and o=10. For a sample of n=25 scores from this population, a sample mean of M=55 would be considered an extreme value.

What is the impulse experienced by ball
: Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass .20 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to Lonnie with a return speed of 60-m/s. If the bat is in contact with the ball for .050 s, what is the impulse experienced..
