The length of time a particular smartphone's battery lasts follows an exponential distribution with a mean of ten months. A sample of 64 of these smartphones is taken.
What is the distribution for the total length of time 64 batteries last?
Suppose in a local Kindergarten through grade school district, percent of the population favor a charter school for grades K through five. A simple random sample of 300 is surveyed. Calculate following using the normal approximation to the binomial distribtion.
a. Find the probability that less than favor a charter school for grades through .
b. Find the probability that or more favor a charter school for grades through .
c. Find the probability that no more than favor a charter school for grades through .
d. Find the probability that there are fewer than that favor a charter school for grades through .
e. Find the probability that exactly favor a charter school for grades through .
If you have access to an appropriate calculator or computer software, try calculating these probabilities using the technology.
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 is hours (without any attached schedules). The distribution is unknown. Let us assume that the standard deviation is two hours. Suppose we randomly sample taxpayers.
a. In words,
b. In words,
c.
d. Would you be surprised if the taxpayers finished their Form s in an average of more than hours? Explain why or why not in complete sentences.
e. Would you be surprised if one taxpayer finished his or her Form in more than hours? In a complete sentence, explain why.
Find the sum that is standard deviations below the mean of the sums.
