A random sample of 100 college students is taken from the student body of a large university Assume that, in fact, a population mean of 20 hours and a standard deviation of 15 hours describe the weekly study estimates for the entire student body. Therefore, the sampling distribution of the mean has a mean that:. a) approximates 20 hours.
b) equals 20 hours.
c) lies within a couple of hours of 20.
d) equals the one observed sample mean.

Use a calculator to verify that σ(x) = 62, σ(x2) = 1034, σ(y) = 644, σ(y2) = 93,438, and σ(x y) = 9,622. compute r. (enter a number. round your answer to three decimal places.) as x increases from 3 to 22 months, does the value of r imply that y should tend to increase or decrease? explain your answer. given our value of r, y should tend to increase as x increases. given our value of r, we can not draw any conclusions for the behavior of y as x increases. given our value of r, y should tend to remain constant as x increases. given our value of r, y should tend to decrease as x increases.
