1. Sleep time per night among all university students is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 6.78 hours and a standard deviation of 1.24 hours. A random sample of 31 students is selected.
Question: Calculate the value that 20 percent of the means would exceed.
Solution :
Given that,
mean = = 6.78
standard deviation = = 1.24
n = 31
= 6.78
= / n = 1.24 / 31 = 0.2227
P(Z > z) = 0.20
1 - P(Z < z) = 0.20
P(Z < z) = 1 - 0.20
P(Z < 0.84) = 0.80
z = 0.84
= z * + = 0.84 * 0.2227 + 6.78 = 6.97
Value = 6.97
