Yoonie is a personnel manager in a large corporation. Each month she must review 16of 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 1.2hours. Let Χ be the random variable representing the time it takes her to complete one review. Assume Χ is normally distributed. Let x-be the random variable representing the meantime to complete the 16reviews. 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 3.5to 4.25hrs. Sketch the graph, labeling and scaling the horizontal axis. Shade the region corresponding to the probability.

a.

b. P(________________) = _______

Short Answer

Expert verified

From the details of the question,

a) .The probability that the mean of a month’s reviews will take Yoonie from 3.5to4.25is0.7499. The graph shows the region corresponding to the probability.

b) The probability isP(3.5<X¯<4.25)=0.7499

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (part a)

Consider the provided details, let X be the time taken to complete one review. Here, X is normally distributed with mean =4hours and standard deviation =1.2hours. The sample size is 16.

02

Step 2: Explanation (part a)

Consider X be the time taken to complete one review.

Here, X remains normally distributed

The mean =4hours

The standard deviation =1.2hours. The sample size is 16.

Let x-be the mean time to complete 16reviews

The random variable localid="1648622508636" X¯−NμX,σXn

Therefore,

X¯~N(4,1.216)

X¯−N(4,0.30)

03

Graphical Representation (part a)

a. Graph with the shaded region for the probability that mean time to complete 16reviews will take between 3.5to 4.25hours is given as below:

04

Given Information (part b)

P(________________) = _______

05

Explanation (part b)

Use the Ti-83 calculator to compute the value of P(3.5<X¯<4.25)

To find this, click on 2nd, then DISTR, and then scroll down to the normal CDF option and enter the supplied details.

After this let's click on ENTER button on the calculator to have the chosen result.

The result of the screenshot is given as below:

Therefore the probability is P(3.5<X¯<4.25)=0.7499

A manufacturer produces 25-pound lifting weights. The lowest actual weight is 24pounds, and the highest is 26pounds. Each weight is equally likely so the distribution of weights is uniform. A sample of 100weights is taken.

Find the probability that the mean actual weight for the 100 weights is greater than 25.2.

NeverReady batteries has engineered a newer, longer lasting AAA battery. The company claims this battery has an average life span of 17 hours with a standard deviation of 0.8 hours. Your statistics class questions this claim. As a class, you randomly select 30 batteries and find that the sample mean life span is 16.7 hours. If the process is working properly, what is the probability of getting a random sample of 30 batteries in which the sample mean lifetime is 16.7 hours or less? Is the company’s claim reasonable?
