I) A SRS of resale house prices for 100 randomly selectedtransactions from all sale

transactions in 2001 (in Toronto) will be obtained. Since thesample is large, we

should expect the histogram for the sample to be nearlynormal.

of Toronto students, and measure each person’scholesterol level. The average

cholesterol level for the sample should be approximatelynormally distributed.

Liberal party in the next election, and decide to draw aSRS of 400 voters. The

percentage of the people in the sample who will say thatthey intend to vote

Liberal is approximately normallydistributed.

IV) We will draw a SRS of 100 adults from the Canadian military,and count the

number who have the AIDS virus. The number of individuals in thesample who

will be found to have the AIDS virus should be approximatelynormally
