The length of time taken on the SAT for a group of students is normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 hours and a standard deviation of 0.25 hours. A sample size of n = 60 is drawn randomly from the population. Find the probability that the sample mean is between two hours and three hours.
The length of time a particular smartphone's battery lasts follows an exponential distribution with a mean of ten months. A sample of 64 of these smartphones is taken.
Find the IQR for the mean amount of time 64 batteries last.
Men have an average weight of pounds with a standard deviation of pounds.
a. Find the probability that randomly selected men will have a sum weight greater than lbs.
b. If men have a sum weight greater than lbs, then their total weight exceeds the safety limits for water taxis. Based on (a), is this a safety concern? Explain.
64. Suppose that a category of world-class runners is known to run a marathon ( 26 miles) in an average of 145 minutes with a standard deviation of 14 minutes. Consider 49 of the races. Let be the average of the 49 races.
a. role="math" localid="1652281768411" (___)
b. Find the probability that the runner will average between 142 and 146 minutes in these 49 marathons.
c. Find the 80th percentile for the average of these 49 marathons.
d. Find the median of the average running times.
