Q.4
Yoonie is a personnel manager in a large corporation. Each month she must review of the employees. From past experience, she has found that the reviews take her approximately four hours each to do with a population standard deviation of hours. Let Χ be the random variable representing the time it takes her to complete one review. Assume Χ is normally distributed. Let be the random variable representing the meantime to complete the reviews. Assume that the 16 reviews represent a random set of reviews.
Find the probability that the mean of a month’s reviews will take Yoonie from to hrs. Sketch the graph, labeling and scaling the horizontal axis. Shade the region corresponding to the probability.

Q. 43
A manufacturer produces 25-pound lifting weights. The lowest actual weight is 24 pounds, and the highest is 26 pounds. Each weight is equally likely so the distribution of weights is uniform. A sample of 100 weights is taken.
a) What is the distribution for the sum of the weights of 100 25-pound lifting weights?
b) Find P(Σx < 2,450).
