Q.7

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 greater than 7650.

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

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

b. The area under the curve is one.

c. The curve never touches the x-axis.

d. The curve is skewed to the right.

Q. 71

The cost of unleaded gasoline in the Bay Area once followed an unknown distribution with a mean of \(4.59and a standard deviation of \)0.10. Sixteen gas stations from the Bay Area are randomly chosen. We are interested in the average cost of gasoline for the 16gas stations. The distribution to use for the average cost of gasoline for the 16gas stations is:

a.X¯~N(4.59,0.10)

b.X¯~N4.59,0.1016

c.X¯~N4.59,160.10

d.X¯~N4.59,160.10

Q. 7.1

An unknown distribution has a mean of 45 and a standard deviation of eight. Samples of size n=30are drawn randomly from the population. Find the probability that the sample mean is between 42 and 50.

Q.7.10

Page 415

Based on data from the National Health Survey, women between the ages of 18and 24have an average systolic blood pressures (in mm Hg) of 114.8with a standard deviation of 13.1. Systolic blood pressure for women between the ages of 18to 24follow a normal distribution.

a. If one woman from this population is randomly selected, find the probability that her systolic blood pressure is greater than 120.

b. If40women from this population are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean systolic blood pressure is greater than 120.

c. If the sample were four women between the ages of18to 24 and we did not know the original distribution, could the central limit theorem be used?

Q. 7.11

Page 415

According to Boeing data, the 757airliner carries 200passengers and has doors with a height of 72inches. Assume for a certain population of men we have a mean height of 69.0inches and a standard deviation of 2.8 inches.
a. What doorway height would allow 95%of men to enter the aircraft without bending?
b. Assume that half of the 200passengers are men. What mean doorway height satisfies the condition that there is a0.95probability that this height is greater than the mean height of 100men?

c. For engineers designing the 757 , which result is more relevant: the height from part a or part b? Why?

Q. 7.2

Page 403

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.

Q.7.2

Page 408

The mean number of minutes for app engagement by a table use is 8.2 minutes. Suppose the standard deviation is one minute. Take a sample size of 70.

a. What is the probability that the sum of the sample is between seven hours and ten hours? What does this mean in context of the problem?

b. Find the 84thand 16thpercentiles for the sum of the sample. Interpret these values in context.

Q. 73

Page 432

Suppose that the duration of a particular type of criminal trial is known to have a mean of 21days and a standard deviation of seven days. We randomly sample nine trials.

a. In words,ΣX=______________

b.ΣX~_____(_____,_____)

c. Find the probability that the total length of the nine trials is at least 225days.

d. Ninety percent of the total of nine of these types of trials will last at least how long?
