Use the following information to answer the next six exercises: Yoonie is a personnel manager in a large corporation. Each month she must review 16 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 be the random variable representing the time it takes her to complete one review. Assume is normally distributed. Let be the random variable representing the mean time to complete the 16 reviews. Assume that the 16 reviews represent a random set of reviews.
1. What is the mean, standard deviation, and sample size?
Based on data from the National Health Survey, women between the ages of and have an average systolic blood pressures (in mm Hg) of with a standard deviation of Systolic blood pressure for women between the ages of to follow a normal distribution.
a. If one woman from this population is randomly selected, find the probability that her systolic blood pressure is greater than .
b. If women from this population are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean systolic blood pressure is greater than .
c. If the sample were four women between the ages of to and we did not know the original distribution, could the central limit theorem be used?
An unknown distribution has a mean of and a standard deviation of . A sample size of is drawn randomly from the population.
Find the probability that the sum of the values is greater than .
Find the probability that the sum of the values is greater than .
A manufacturer produces -pound lifting weights. The lowest actual weight is pounds, and the highest is pounds. Each weight is equally likely so the distribution of weights is uniform. A sample ofweights is taken.
