Chapter 7: Q. 71 (page 481)

Airline passengers get heavier In response to the increasing weight of airline passengers, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told airlines to assume that passengers average 190 pounds in the summer, including clothes and carry-on baggage. But passengers vary, and the FAA did not specify a standard deviation. A reasonable standard deviation is 35 pounds. A commuter plane carries 30 passengers. Find the probability that the total weight of 30 randomly selected passengers exceeds 6000 pounds.

The required value isP(X炉鈮�200)=5.94%

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

Given,

渭=190蟽=35n=30鈭�xi=6000
02

Calculation

Formula used:

z=x-渭蟽

Lets calculate,

localid="1657630239006" x炉=鈭�xin=600030=200z=x炉-渭x炉蟽x炉=x炉-渭蟽ln=200-19035/30鈮�1.56P(X炉鈮�200)=P(Z>1.56)=1-P(Z>1.56)=1-0.9406=0.0594=5.94%

Unemployment Each month, the Current Population Survey interviews about 60,000 randomly selected U.S. adults. One of their goals is to estimate the national unemployment rate. In October 2016,4.9% of those interviewed were unemployed.

Birth weights Researchers in Norway analyzed data on the birth weights of 400,000 newborns over a 6-year period. The distribution of birth weights is approximately Normal with a mean of 3668 grams and a standard deviation of 511 grams.

a. Sketch a graph that displays the distribution of birth weights for this population.

b. Sketch a possible graph of the distribution of birth weights for an SRS of size $5 . Calculate the range for this sample.

In this population, the range (Maximum - Minimum) of birth weights is 3417 grams. We technology to take 500 SRSs of size n=5n=5and calculate the range (Maximum Minimum) for each sample. The dotplot shows the results.

David鈥檚 iPod has about 10,000songs. The distribution of the play times for these songs is heavily skewed to the right with a mean of 225seconds and a standard deviation of 60seconds.

a. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of xfor SRSs of size n=5from the population of songs on David鈥檚 iPod. Justify your answer.

b. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of x for SRSs of size n=100 from the population of songs on David鈥檚 iPod. Justify your answer.

The number of hours a lightbulb burns before failing varies from bulb to bulb. The population 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 sampling distribution with the same shape (strongly skewed) as the population distribution.

c. the average burnout time of a large number of bulbs has a sampling 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 sampling distribution that is close to Normal.

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

A newborn baby has extremely low birth weight (ELBW) if it weighs less than 1000 grams. A study of the health of such children in later years examined a random sample of 219 children. Their mean weight at birth was x-x炉=810grams. This sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the mean weight 渭 in the population of all ELBW babies, which means that

a. in all possible samples of size 219 from this population, the mean of the values of x-x炉will equal 810 .

b. in all possible samples of size 219 from this population, the mean of the values of x-x炉will equal 渭

c. as we take larger and larger samples from this population, x-x炉will get closer and closer to 渭.

d. in all possible samples of size 219 from this population, the values of x-x炉will have a distribution that is close to Normal.

e. the person measuring the children's weights does so without any error.
