Use the information in Example 7.8, but use a sample size of 55 to answer the following questions. a. Find P( x ¯ < 7).

b. Find P(Σx > 170).

c. Find the 80th percentile for the mean of 55 scores.

d. Find the 85th percentile for the sum of 55 scores.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) P(x<7)-1

b) P(∑x>170)-0.2788)

c) k1-3.13

d)k2-174.8393

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) step: 1 Given Information

We have given that the sample size of 55.

We need to findP(x<7)-1.

02

Part(a) step: 2 Simplify

P(x<7)

We have

normalcdf1,7,3,1.1555-1

The probability that the mean stress score is less than 7is 1.

Normal Distribution:

03

Part (b) step: 1 Given Information  

We have given that the sample size of 55.

We need to find that P(∑x>170).

04

Part (b) Step: 2 simplify 

P(x>170)

We have

normalcdf(170,1E99,55×355×1.15)

The probability that the total of 55scores is more than 170is 0.2788.

Normal Distribution:

05

Part (c) Step: 1 Given information 

We have given that the sample size of 55.

We need to find that the80thpercentile.

06

Part (c) step: 2 Simplify

Let k1-the 80thpercentile

We need to find P{x<k1)-0.80:

invNorm0.80,3,1.1555-3.1'3

The 80thpercentile for the mean of 55score is about 3.13.

This tells us about80%of all the means of55stress scores are at most3.13and that20%are at least3.13.

07

Part (d) step : 1 Given information 

We heve given that the sample size of 55.

We need to find that85thpercentile.

08

Part (d) Step:2 Simplify

Let k2-the 85thpercentile

We need to find P∑x<k2-0.85

invNorm(0.85,55×3,55×1.15)-173.8393.

The 85thpercentile for the sum of 55scores is about 173.8393.

This tells us that 85thof all the sums of55scores are no more than173.8393and15%are no less than173.8393.

Four friends, Janice, Barbara, Kathy and Roberta, decided to carpool together to get to school. Each day the driver would be chosen by randomly selecting one of the four names. They carpool to school for 96days. Use the normal approximation to the binomial to calculate the following probabilities. Round the standard deviation to four decimal places.

a. Find the probability that Janice is the driver at most20days.

b. Find the probability that Roberta is the driver more than 16days.

c. Find the probability that Barbara drives exactly 24 of those 96 days.

In a recent study reported Oct.29, 2012 on the Flurry Blog, the mean age of tablet users is 35 years. Suppose the standard deviation is ten years. The sample size is 39 .

a. What are the mean and standard deviation for the sum of the ages of tablet users? What is the distribution?

b. Find the probability that the sum of the ages is between 1,400 and 1,500 years.

c. Find the 90th percentile for the sum of the 39 ages.

70. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the distribution for averages?

a. The mean, median, and mode are equal.

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.

Your company has a contract to perform preventive maintenance on thousands of air-conditioners in a large city. Based on service records from previous years, the time that a technician spends servicing a unit averages one hour with a standard deviation of one hour. In the coming week, your company will serve a simple random sample of 70 units in the city. You plan to budget an average of 1.1 hours per technician to complete the work. Will this be enough time?
