Stop the carl A car company has found that the lifetime of its disc brake pads varies from car to car according to a Normal distrilustion with mean =55000miles and standard deviation=4500miles. The company installs a new brand of brake pads on an SRS of 8cars.

(a) If the new brand has the same lifetime distribution as the previous bye of brake pad, what is the sampling distribution of the mean lifetime x?

(b) The average life of the pads an these 8cars turns out to be x=51800miles. Find the probability that the sample mean lifetime is 51800miles or less if the lifetime distribution is unchanged, What conclusion would you draw?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)The sampling distribution is normally with mean =55000and standard deviation =1590.99

(b)The probability is0.0222

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step-1 Given Information 

Given in the question that

Population mean()=55000

Population standard deviation=4500

Sample sizen=8

We have to find that the sampling distribution of the mean lifetime x.

02

Part (b) Step-2 Explanation 

The sample distribution of xis written as :

x~NX,X

x~N,n

x~N55000,45008

x~N(55000,1590.99)

Thus, the sampling distribution is normally distributed with mean =55000and standard deviation=1590.99

03

Part (a) Step-1 Given Information 

Given in the question that he average life of the pads an these 8cars turns out to be x=51800mile we have to find the probability that the sample mean lifetime is 51800miles or less and also if the lifetime distribution is unchanged, What conclusion would you draw.

04

Part (b) Step-2 Explanation 

The probability that the sample mean is 51800or less is calculated as follows:

Px<191=Px-n<51800-n

localid="1649200029249" =PZ,51800-5500045008

=P(Z<-2.01)

=PZ<-2.01

=0.0222

Thus, the required probability is 0.5346

The computed probability is below0.05.thus, there is low chances for the occurance of the event.

How many people are in a car? A study of rush-hour traf铿乧 in San Francisco counts the number of people in each car entering a freeway at a suburban interchange. Suppose that this count has a mean of 1.5. and a standard deviation of 0.75in the population of all cars that enter this interchange during rush hours.

(a) Could the exact distribution of the count be Normal? Why or why not?

(b) Traf铿乧 engineers estimate that the capacity of the interchange is 700cars per hour. Find the probability that 700 cars will carry more than 1075 people. Show your work. (Hint: Restate this event in terms of the mean number of people x per car.)

Airport security The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is responsible for airport safety. On some flights, TSA officers randomly select passengers for an extra security check before boarding. One such flight had 76 passengers -12 in first class and 64 in coach class. TSA officers selected an SRS of 10 passengers for screening. Let p^be the proportion of first-class passengers in the 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.

IRS audits The Internal Revenue Service plans to examine an SRS of individual federal income tax returns from each state. One variable of interest is the proportion of returns claiming itemized deductions. The total number of tax returns in each state varies from over 15 million in California to about 240,000in Wyoming.

(a) Will the sampling variability of the sample proportion change from state to state if an SRS of 2000tax returns is selected in each state? Explain your answer.

(b) Will the sampling variability of the sample proportion change from state to state if an SRS of 1%of all tax returns is selected in each state? Explain your answer
