The Screw Right Company claims their inch screws are within ±ofthe claimed mean diameter of inches with a standard deviation of inches. The following data were recorded.
The screws were randomly selected from the local home repair store.
a. Find the mean diameter and standard deviation for the sample
b. Find the probability that randomly selected screws will be within the stated tolerance levels. Is the company’s diameter claim plausible?
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.
a.

b. P(________________) = _______
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.
Find the 90th percentile for the total weight of the 100 weights.
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 of weights is taken.
a. What is the distribution for the weights of one -pound lifting weight? What is the mean and standard deviation?
b. What is the distribution for the mean weight of -pound lifting weights?
c. Find the probability that the mean actual weight for the weights is less than .
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.
