Chapter 7: Q. 21 (page 464)

A large company is interested in improving the efficiency of its customer service and decides to examine the length of the business phone calls made to clients by its sales staff. A cumulative relative frequency graph is shown below from data collected over the past year. According to the graph, the shortest 80%of calls will take how long to complete?

(a) Less than10 minutes.
(b) At least10 minutes.
(c) Exactly10 minutes.
(d) At least5.5 minutes.
(e) Less than 5.5minutes.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The shortest of 80%of cell takes less than10minutes. So, the option (a) is correct.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A cumulative relative frequency graph is shown below from data collected over the past year.

02

Explanation

In the graph, minutes are measured on horizontal axis and percent on vertical axis. A line is drawn that touches the blue curve joining to vertical axis and horizontal axis is shown below:

From the graph, concluded that the shortest 80%of the calls are less than10 minutes.
Hence, the correct option is (a).

The number of hours a light bulb burns before failing varies from bulb to bulb. The distribution of burnout times is strongly skewed to the right. The central limit theorem says that

(a) as we look at more and more bulbs, their average burnout time gets ever closer to the mean 渭 for all bulbs of this type.

(b) the average burnout time of a large number of bulbs has a distribution of the same shape (strongly skewed) as the population distribution.

(c) the average burnout time of a large number of bulbs has a distribution with a similar shape but not as extreme (skewed, but not as strongly) as the population distribution.

(d) the average burnout time of a large number of bulbs has a distribution that is close to Normal.

(e) the average burnout time of a large number of bulbs has a distribution that is exactly Normal.

What does the CLT say? Asked what the central limit theorem says, a student replies, "As you take larger and larger samples from a population, the histogram of the sample values looks mote and more Normal." ls the student right? Explain your answer.

Scrabble In the game of Scrabble, each player begins by drawing 7 tiles from a bag containing 100 tiles. There are 42 vowels, 56 consonants, and 2 blank tiles in the bag. Cait chooses an SRS of 7 tiles. Let p^be the proportion of vowels in her sample.

(a) Is the 10%condition met in this case? Justify your answer.

(b) Is the Normal condition met in this case? Justify your answer.

Studious athletes A university is concerned about the academic standing of its intercollegiate athletes. A study committee chooses an SRS of 50 of the 316 athletes to interview in detail. Suppose that 40% of the athletes have been told by coaches to neglect their studies on at least one occasion. What is the probability that at least 15 in the sample are among this group?

Making auto parts Agrinding machine in an auto parts plant prepares axles with a target diameter 渭=40.125millimeters (mm). The machine has some variability, so the standard deviation of the diameters is 蟽=0.002mm. The machine operator inspects a random sample of 4axles cach hour for quality control purposes and records the sample mean diameter x炉,how many axles would you need to sample if you wanted the standard deviation of the sampling distribution xto be0.0005mm?justify your answer.
