Find the sum that is standard deviations below the mean of the sums.
Determine which of the following are true and which are false. Then, in complete sentences, justify your answers.
a. When the sample size is large, the mean of is approximately equal to the mean of .

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 reviews represent a random set of reviews.
Find the probability that one review will take Yoonie from to hours. Sketch the graph, labeling and scaling the horizontal axis. Shade the region corresponding to the probability

b. P(________ <x< ________) = _______
In a city, percent of the population favor the incumbent, Dawn Morgan, for mayor. A simple random sample ofis taken. Using the continuity correction factor, find the probability that at least favor Dawn Morgan for mayor.
The distribution of income in some Third World countries is considered wedge shaped (many very poor people, very few middle income people, and even fewer wealthy people). Suppose we pick a country with a wedge shaped distribution. Let the average salary be per year with a standard deviation of . We randomly survey residents of that country.
a. In words,
b. In words,
c.
d. How is it possible for the standard deviation to be greater than the average?
e. Why is it more likely that the average of the residents will be from to than from ?
