Chapter 7: Q.8 (page 428)

An unknown distribution has a mean of 80and a standard deviation of 12. A sample size of 95is drawn randomly from the population.

Find the probability that the sum of the 95values is less than 7400.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that the sum of the 95values is less than 7400is .

P(X鈮�7400)=0.0436

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given in the question that,

mean is 80and the standard deviation is 12and sample size is95

Find the probability that the sum of the 95values is less than 7400.

02

Explanation

From Example, we have the next information

鈭�X~N(n渭x,n蟽x)

鈭�X~N((95)(80),(95)(12))

Now, we can find the probability that the sum of the 95values is less than 7400

P(X鈮�7400)=P(Z鈮�X鈭�n渭xn蟽x)=P(Z鈮�7400鈭�7600116.961532)=P(Z鈮�鈭�1.71)

P(X鈮�7400)=0.0436

According to the Internal Revenue Service, the average length of time for an individual to complete (keep records for, learn, prepare, copy, assemble, and send) IRS Form 1040is 10.53hours (without any attached schedules). The distribution is unknown. Let us assume that the standard deviation is two hours. Suppose we randomly sample 36taxpayers.

a. In words, 围=_____________

b. In words,X=_____________

c. X炉~_____(_____,_____)

d. Would you be surprised if the 36taxpayers finished their Form 1040s in an average of more than 12hours? Explain why or why not in complete sentences.

e. Would you be surprised if one taxpayer finished his or her Form 1040in more than 12hours? In a complete sentence, explain why.

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.
